Just be on your guard for the punk kid gone undercover sporting a pair of Xray glasses.

Well you can, with freeware that will remove date protection from programs which expire after a specific date, enabling you to use most shareware or trial version software indefinitely.

Using it couldn’t be easier.

* Start by opening Date Cracker
* Click Add
* Enter the description for your program
* Click the [...] button at the bottom of the screen
* Search for the executable file of the trial program
* Set the Simulated Run Date past the trial expiration date
* Click Run

That’s it, you’re now on your way to using your favorite trials hassle free.

A Few Tips:

The key is to run the software via Date Cracker when you run a trial for the first time.

Dates should be entered in full e.g. 2090/06/30

Conclusion:

It’s possible a license agreement may exist with a particular software manufacturer, so this may not work on some programs.

Developers are aware of such programs and could devise better algorithms so that their software would be better protected, however, there will always be a newer version of Date Cracker 2000.

Date Cracker 2000 is the best solution to completing your projects without depleting your budget.

Well, there is a way you can take any free trial download and use it free for as long as you please.

All you have to do is set your clock to some date in the distant future using adjust/date/time in Windows, download your free trial software, run the program once and rollback your time setting to the current date. After you’ve run the program for the first time, the Windows registry will be loaded with a Free Trial Key reflecting an expiration date that you’ve predetermined, and your good to go.

Another roundabout way to do this after a trial has already expired would be to bring up the Registry Editor in Windows, find the trial key and delete it. Then download the program again and start the free trial period over.

This is pretty easy to do, but if you’re using a lot of free trials you may find it to be a hassle editing registers and downloading programs over again every time one expires. Its much easier to simply adjust your date/time to 2009 or something, download your free trials, rollback to the current date and enjoy them for the next 3 years or so hassle free.

By the way I’ve found that when doing this I’m still able to get the notifications when updated versions come along, and download them with no problem.

The above screen shots are just 2 examples of the many programs that I’ve been doing this with for an extended time.

If your the geek type, manipulating the dates in the registers will also work. Do some experimenting and see what you can find, there are tons of possibilities, and this is something you can have a lot of fun with.
