How to use a trial version software forever without any time limit ?

In this article, we are going to tell you how to hack a Software and run the trial software package forever. Most of us use many softwares that run only for a fixed time period in the trial mode. Once the time period of the trial mode is expired these softwares stop functioning and we need to purchase the full version. Here is a way to run these softwares and make them function forever, even beyond the trial period.


When these softwares are installed for the trial period, they make an entry in the Windows Registry with the details of Installation Date as well as Time. After installating the trial version, each and every time you run the program, the program compares the current system date and time with the installation date and time. In this way, it can find out whether the trial period is expired or not.


If we change the Date and Time value in the Windows registry, then the software can be used for lifetime. But we cannot easily change these values manually. For this purpose we have introduced a small Tool known as RunAsDate.

RunAsDate is a small utility tool that allows the user to run a software or a program in the specified date and time. This utility doesn’t change the current system date, instead it injects the date/time that the user specify into the desired application.


RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time and replaces the current date and time with the specified date and time. It tool is available for Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista for 32 bit as well as 64 bit Operating Systems.

Follow these points to hack a software by its date and make it run in its trial mode for whole lifetime.


1. Note down the date and time, when you install the software or program for the first time in trial period.


2. Once the trial period expires, run the software or program using RunAsDate.


3. Do not run the program directly after using RunAsDate, If you run the program directly even once, this tool may not work thereafter.


4. It is better as well as safe to inject the date and time of the last day in the trial period i.e. if the trial period expires on 10 September,,2010, always inject the date as 10 September, 2010 in the RunAsDate tool.
