Can I use Windows restore point to repeatedly use 'trial' software?

Erm... I'm not actually asking this because I want to reuse trial
software...
Rather... I'm coming from the other side: I'm writing some software in
Flash.
I will use another application to create an installer that has features
to allow end users to not be able to reinstall applications.

I wanted to know... is it possible to get past the 'trial' software by
simply creating restore points?

I can't see why not.

There are also other applications out there that store your current
configuration and restore it to what it was previously. For example
Ashampoo do software that does this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.


OM

It is "highly" unlikely that you can bypass dates and times for reusing trial
software. Depending on the programming, the trial will recognize an
inappropriate date and time and will simply crash. Or if the programmer was
courteous, the trial may simply tell you to fix your date and time. The date
and time for your system is a vital as the beats of a heart. Ours is about
maybe 60 beats per minute, while the computer may average 1.8 thousand per
second.....

Maybe some underground hacker sites might have a plan.
