You could amend the script/add an instruction to contact you for the product key in the following post.

The attached uses the script shown in my previous post for 30 days free trial with another script (which needs improving) added for entering a product key for use beyond 30 days that is hardcoded into the solution before deployment.

Just remember that if these items are dependent on the triggering of an OnOpen script when the file opens, that there are any number of ways for that script to be bypassed.

Would that statement apply to only someone who would have a copy of FM or would that statement apply also to people who have a runtime version and no copy of FM?

I do not do runtimes, so I would not want to make a positive declaration one way or the other without further examination and review. It would definitely apply to FileMaker Pro users however.

I have not used this and so do not offer any endorsement, but it looks like it addresses your requirements.
