What if cracking a time-disabled version is much easier than the real demo? What if MakeMusic simply doesn't want any save ability in demo versions, be it time limited or not? If you really want to give this version away, why don't you just write an email to MakeMusic and ask them. I guarantee you that they will not allow it. And I still say that it is illegal to do so. Finale is not Shareware. What you are suggesting is actually one of the reasons I question this kind of copy protection in the first place, it will actually make people think that giving away time limited versions it an alright thing to do. It's not. It's illegal.
