Existing users, 
If you have already changed the default Finder behavior to display all invisible files (as with the CLI command of "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE"), then Macintosh Explorer will freak out if you try to expand an invisible folder and then collapse it back.
Also, I prefer a demo period defined by elapsed time rather than by launches. Or if a given launch is less than a certain period of time -- say ten minutes -- then that could not count against the launches a user is allowed for a demo period. (And to guard against abuse of this, the product could simply fail to run after two weeks or one month.)

Invisible Files and Demo Format - ragesw
Setting this flag in the FInder has no affect on Macintosh Explorer whatsoever. When you set this option invisible files are still flagged as invisible to the System (the Finder is just displaying them). Therefore, to Macintosh Explorer they are still invisible and this option has no affect whatsoever on it's performance. Did you have Show Invisible Files enabled in Macintosh Explorer as well? What do you mean by "freak out"? What exactly happens?You can email support@ragesw.com if you would like to get this issue resolved. I suspect it may be something specific to your configuration, though the only way to know would be to look into this more closely.
As for the demo, it is a 14-launch *fully functional* demo. You can still evaluate Macintosh Explorer after 14 launches though functionality is limited the more you use it beyond this time.
