You could try getting a time limited trial of Dolphin Pro. Look here
http://www.object-arts.com/Trial/index.html .  It sounds like it would allow
you to deploy your application (though it too would be time limited).  If
you timed it just right the 30 days might allow you enough time to
demonstrate your program.

I assume you found this link
http://www.object-arts.com/Lib/EducationCentre4/htm/distributingadeployedimage.htm .
I am not sure if it would really be cost effective to spend the time
stripping a DVE yourself.  If time = money then at some point it will be
better to just buy Dolphin rather than trying to legally deploy from DVE.
It looks like there is a DVE to DPRO upgrade option that might only cost
~$309.

Good luck,
Chris
