Software and run the trial program forever.
Most of us are familiar with many softwares that run only for a specified period of time in the trial mode. Once the trial period is expired
these softwares stop functioning and demand for a "PURCHASE". But there is a way to run the
softwares and make them function beyond the
trial period. Isn't this interesting?
Before I tell
you how to hack the software and make it run in the trial mode forever, we have to understand the functioning of these softwares.
I'll try to explain this in brief.
When these software are
installed for the first time, they make an entry into the Windows Registry with the details such as Installed Date and Time, installed path etc. After installation every time you run
the software, it compares the current system date and time with the installed date and time.
So, with this it can make out whether the trial period is expired or not. So with this being the
case, just manually changing the system date
to an earlier date will not solve the problem.
For this purpose there is a small Tool
known as RunAsDate. RunAsDate is a small utility that allows you to run a program in the
date and time that you specify. This utility
doesn't change the current system date, but it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application. RunAsDate
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. It works with Windows
2000, XP, 2003 and Vista
NOTE: FOLLOW
THESE TIPS CAREFULLY
You have to follow these tips carefully to
successfully hack a software and make it run in
it's trial mode forever.
1. Note down the date
and time, when you install the software for the
first time.
2. Once the trial period expires, you
must always run the software using
RunAsDate.
3. After the trial period is expired,
do not run the software(program) directly. If
you run the software directly even once, this
hack may no longer work.
4. It is better and
safe to inject the date of the last day in
the trial period. For example, if the trial
period
expires on jan 30 2009, always inject the date
as jan 29 2009 in the RunAsDate.
