I suppose a lot of this depends on what type of plugins are being made. 2 days to make a compressor or an eq should be about right. The endless series plugin is a bit of a different story because it's far more involved than basic cookbook plugins.
I'm not going to bother trying to deal with guys cracking it because I don't think there's really a way to win that battle. I figure I'll take the reaper approach. Say it's a 30 day trial, but never cripple it, just put a nag screen or maybe just a big red "DEMO VERSION" across the front. I figure people who aren't gong to pay aren't going to pay, but I doubt people want to open up a plugin in front of a paying customer that say's "I'm not payed for" on the front.
I guess there is only one way to find out.
