Hi all,

I have a 30 day software program i downloaded off the net. The 30days are up and cant use it anymore. Tried downloading it again and using it again but no luck, wouldnt allow me. If i edit the registry of the computer, will i be able to use the program? If so, how do i do that?

Thanks

Nobody here will help you pirate software. And to answer your question - no - registry mucks don't generally work, so just buy it if you need it.

all software create a registry key which contains the time stamp.. ur best bet it to unintall the software.. clean ur registry possibly find that key and delete it.. then reinstall!!

Not all trial software rely on the Registry for that, it could well be a very innocent file in your $WIN$SYSTEM32 or any other folder, containg a 0/1, 0=time is not up, 1= time's up, how do you find that file? A shot in the dark for you, I can find it, but won't tell, or I would be absetting many people here, sorry.

If you need to use the software and there's no other like it for free or cheaper, buy it.

I am not going to go into details as I don't want to be banned but activation systems are a little more complex than a 0 or 1 in a file
