The question itself indicates the decline of ethics in just about every facet of life today. That’s what a real follower is all about. I genuinely appreciate you for good posts and point your mistake for posts like this. Don’t offend by this comment of mine but this is what I felt after reading this post of yours. Its doesn’t mean that I don’t support the default legitimate way,I do but I usually come here not to know the same old thing from you but to know some tips n tricks to crack or tweak the software so that I can make it run past the trail period. So, this article of yours didn’t impress me much. If its the case with all others then why these cracks/serials etc., are made and used. You may say that “I buy the program to keep it running” coz you can afford it. Even the post title didn’t suit to what you have said here coz buying the program is the default option that any one is left with to keep using that program past its free trial period. So What’s your point in suggesting to him to buy the sftw. Thought it might be the legitimate way, your post would have been even better if you tried to explain a bit more about registry tweaking or reverse engineering you were talking about.Ī person who has reinstalled the program to use it, itself means he is not willing/can’t afford to buy the sftw. So I felt there is no point in saying the same thing by you as a tech guru.

I was certainly not expecting this when I eagerly clicked on this topic to read more from the newsletter coz its the default option the owner opt us to do. (Though using Virtual Machines for this purpose, while a fair amount of work, could be used to “look like” a new machine each time.)īut, honestly, if it’s worth that much effort, it’s gotta be worth the purchase price. You could install on another machine for another trial period, but I’m guessing you’ll eventually run out of machines. So, for the average user, it’s a tough situation to overcome. Hidden files, benign modifications to other files … some have even been known to write to hidden parts of your hard disk. So, other applications might use other techniques. That’s the obvious way, and it’s actually not that difficult for someone with a little technical expertise to reverse-engineer. Where in the registry this might be kept is anyone’s guess, and will vary from application to application. The most obvious is by using a registry entry, perhaps an obscure one, that as you’ve seen is left behind after the program is uninstalled. Programs keep track of trial period in different ways. To actually answer the question you asked… I know that’s not the answer you were looking for, but it’s the right answer. “If you’ve decided that you want to keep using it then the right thing to do is to spend the money and buy it.”Ĭan’t afford it? Well, you’re not entitled to a free copy, so your choice is clear: don’t use it, or use something else.
