Depending on what your app does, restricting its use, for example disable saving/loading/copying of text and similar are quite common features to make users upgrade.
Or what you could do is put in some code on startup that sent a request to your server to accept a response. Only if the response was OK would the app run and not exit. That way your beta version would expire on a set date and not from when a user had actually installed it. You could also use the auto-update feature of AIR for this, once you wish you app to go from beta to release force the update on the user and then they need to enter a license key which they will get from yourself.

I will send it to some testers. So, I want to write some code to set expired date for it. Example as set this soft to stop working 1 month from first use, or set the number of using soft is 100 times. Any one can guide me some steps to do it?
