Guest

Hi..
My problem: I used a trial version of Solid converter software 15 "trial version" My trial has been expired and i did not get to used the software that much. i uninstalled it complety and insalled it back to get another 15 days but!!! It picks up the old information and tells me that my trial has expired and i can no longer use it.


Is there any way i can remove this program completly out of my system so that it can not find out that had used this program before.!! Pls give me tips.... how and from where i can delete those files permanently

Thanks a lot!

Only if you make use of a System partition image, that was
created before the original install of the software. Trials &
Time expired demos have ways to encode the timeouts in
the Registry that aren't easily changed or for that matter easy
to locate.

What about using System Restore to revert to an earlier restore point, I've read that the main thing system restore does is make a backup of the registry ?

I can't really say how that would work. It might be worth trying, if
you don't mind losing the changes between current and the Restore
point. Developers are pretty savvy, and I'm sure that SR was taken
into account for timed applications.

Gee! If that could be done, do you think that anyone would ever buy the
program. Don't be so cheap. If you like it, buy it!

Ask the software's manufacturer how to steal their product. You
had your chance to test it, and you neglected to do so. Now, either
buy it, or find something else.

They are so sneaky that way, aren't they? The little dickens hide
the code so you can't find it, and it stays on your computer
forever -- or until you reformat, whichever comes first.

How about this? Try turning your clock back each day, so that the
day never ends. Might work, unless they've got it fixed so that it
counts the hours, the sneaks. It's getting so that you can't cheat
software companies anymore. What's the world coming to?

It will certainly put the registry back as it was. Very useful after an
abortive uninstall, or one that leaves file associations taken over. It
is not necessarily going to remove files that the program installation
has dumped on you though. But if a proper uninstall is not available of
only partly works, deleting the program's folder, followed by a restore,
is a fair compromise
