Resetting TRIAL Of Software And Use It Again - By Gaurav Raj

You all must have been thinking is there a way of using your software again when the Trail gets over, Yes you might have think of it, and here I come to solve your problem. I always come up with solutions, didn't I? ;)  

We do this kinda stuffs because we all are not eligible to buy the licence key of software. So, Have a try.

I will write two ways to reset, try the one which suits you best. The first method is to delete the registry files to remove the watermarks of software.

In this method you need to find and delete your trial software registry. After trial period is expired, uninstall the software and follow the steps. 

• After uninstalling software, Open RUN (Windows key + R) and type regedit and hit Enter.
• Now Registry Editor Window will appear and here navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Your Software name from left pane of this window. If you find any Key name with your software name then just Delete that Key.
• Similarly navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Your Software name and if you find any key with your software name then just Delete it and close the Registry Editor window.
• Again go to RUN and type %temp% and hit Enter.
• Now Delete all the things in that folder. Don’t worry these are the temporary files and not necessary for your operating system.
• Now go to C:\Users\your username here\AppData. Under AppData open all three folders "Local", "LocalLow" and "Roaming” and check. Under these three folders if you find any folder or anything with your Software's name, just delete it.
• Now Restart your PC and install the expired software and you can use it again for trial period. If you install the expired software without following the above steps then you don’t get trial period back.

Another method is using a 3rd party software,there are many but I will provide here MY Favorite one.

RunAsDate - This soft will automatically reset your Trial of your software. Advantage of this program is that, you can run multiple applications simultaneously, each application works with different date and time, while the real date/time of your system continues to run normally. Now follow the steps to use RunAsDate.

Download RunAsDate from here.

• Now click on browse to browse the desired application path.
• Now Specify date and time and hit the Run button to execute the app on the specified date and time. 
• After running the software using RunAsDate, don’t run it directly. If runs it directly without RunAsDate then trial period is ended instantly. To avoid any chances of running the software program directly, you can delete its shortcut from the desktop and create a new shortcut using RunAsDate and place it on the desktop.

That's It For Now, Have Fun. Share,Comment And Support.
