ome program runs fully functional for a limited period of time say- 30 or 45 days. These are called as Sharewares ans stops executing after that period of time and asks you to purchase the program. Well, you can by pass trial period restriction extend it by running a program in the date and time that you specify without changing System’s Date and Time.
At Blogsolute, We have already covered a similar software called Time Stopper which canRun Trial Software Forever by without buying and paying for the license. Now, we will be doing this using a small program called “Run as Date” which doesn’t change the current system date and time of your computer, but it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application.
Good thing about this program is that it doesn’t requires installation and you can run multiple trial software at different timings and date. It intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify.
How to run Trial software forever?
Download and install Run as date. Target the location of the EXE application of the trialsoftware you want to run which is generally in ( C:\Program Files \ Program Folder )Specify the desired time and date at which you want the software to run. This should be in the past like Yesterday or 5-6 days before. Please note that- You should not take this date before the installation date as some programmers are clever enough to blocksoftware and end your trial period.
Then, You can either run program directly or create a custom shortcut for the modified program. In this way, you will be able to use fully functional version of thatsoftware forever by repeating the same procedure.
Above window shows expired trial of a program which is asking me to enter License key to unlock. I tried it opening at a specific date using Run as Date and full 45 Days of Trial period was retained.
So, I can run this software for next 45 days more without any interruption and actually purchasing license.
Here is another program on which I tried extending its trial period of 30 days. I cannot guarantee that this software will be able to crack and extend trial period of any software but most of them can be done. This may not be able to crack Antivirus orInternet Security programs which generally stores this data on Web servers which cannot be hacked. This tutorial should be taken for education and testing purpose only and not for any illegal usage.
