Yeah, the thought of that is what was holding me back from trying it.

They probalby don't really know how, but "It's a limited demo and you
should have understood the conditions before you loaded it. If you
could run it whenever you wanted then it wouldn't be a demo." would
certainly be an appropriate answer.

"Piss off, cheapskate!" might be going a little far afield for good
customer relations, even though you're not a customer.
