a customer like Microsoft, Morgan-Stanley, Amazon.com.. yes, but a new
start-up that thinks: "when we'll grow we'll buy something cooler" will
crack your soft down (or will ignore your license) ... I've seen it
happening so many times...

There are no restrictions on that. In fact the license on PHP is
explicitly not the GPL for this very purpose.
As for restricting the demo. I would suggest restricting it via a
license. Any serious customer is not going to violate a license in order
to save a couple of hundred bucks.
