A program I want to use has a free 30-day trial period with no

uninstall as completely as you can then use system restore to revert your computer to an earlier point, before you installed it.

>>25074
sadly i don't have a restore point available, i last used this program about a year ago and it didn't work at the time, though it has since been fixed

>>25079
then you could try running it on a virtual machine

>>25062
Pirate a copy of Revo Uninstaller Pro. That should do the trick. If not the only real option is to reinstall your OS. If it's not a hardware demanding program, install it in a virtual machine, use it for 30 days, make a new virtual machine for it after 30 days, rinse and repeat.

shit, i totally expected that to work, looked like it found a bunch of stuff but even after deleting that, restarting, then reinstalling it's still showing trial as expired, fuck

can't use a virtual machine as i need the program to interact with a database that's far too big to move to a vm :(

>>25150
then your options are get another computer, pay for the program, find a crack, or find an alternative to the program.

>>25157
how exactly can this program undetectably determine whether or not 30 days has passed since the trial began?

>>25185
It buries shit in the OS and registry. Trial programs pissed me off so much when I was younger and didn't have a credit card.

You can try to use Process Monitor.

>>25185
well you could roll the clock back on the pc, works on adobe trials.

>>25213
jeez, seems to show >11,000 registry operations performed, i guess in an attempt to mask where the actual key is...

>>25228
didn't work

>>25242
You aren't supposed to do it on your actual computer, there are a bunch of other softwares also editing the registry. Create a VM, install the software, open Process Monitor, run the software and see what did it change.
