Introduction:
Some PC apps are available in trial mode, which means that you are only given freedom to use the app for some days ranging from a few weeks to one month. After this trial period, the app will request you enter a serial key to configure it. Most times, these serial keys are not gotten freely and require the payment of some amount of money to buy the serial number. Also, we might have the resource to purchase the key but don’t actually know how to purchase it.
This tweak is written to explain ways through which you could extend or reset trial period of any software to make them last forever without expiring.

This tweak is written to explain ways through which you could extend or reset trial period of any software to make them last forever without expiring.
Note: This tweak is to be used if and only if you can’t purchase serial keys please.
To do this, some apps have been developed to help us achieve this. Some of them are;
1. Time stopper app: This app was specially developed to stop trial periods in apps. This app can only stop the trial period of apps if you are still in the trial period, i.e. it cannot be used if the trial period has expired. Simply run Time stopper and locate the trial software executable with the Browse Button. Coose the new time and date from the pop-up calendar to any date you want. After that, give the shortcut icon a name and finish by clicking the create button. You can access the app using the created shortcut only and not the original shortcut. Delete the original shortcut.
2. RunAsDate: This app works by just changing the date and time on each and every app that has trial period without altering your system’s default or original date and time. Each app can have its own date and time separately from another one. This app has been successfully tested on many apps and it proved worthwhile. Just run the app, selectthe app with the trial version by clicking “browse” beside the” application to run” option then, set the sate and time to be
between the trial period time. I.e. if you downloaded and installed the app like say, on the 15th of May 2014 and it’s trial period ended on the 14th of June 2014, choose any date between them from the pop-up calendar. After that, click on “Run” and you will begin to enjoy the app once more.You can create a desktop shortcut to open the trial software as in Time Stopper app above.

Note: If you run the app directly after running the one made using the RunAsDate app, the trial period ends instantly. Therefore, its adviceable that you delete the original app’s shortcut from the desktop.
3. By teasing your installer: All you have to do is teasing your date and time settings of your computer first go to the date and time settings and adjust your date to a
distant future not in the past,probably. years after.
Then install the app,always remember set your date first then install, after actully running if for the first time and using it change your date to original accordingly.
You actually fooled the installer when it
installed it noted the date and set the date to be used for the next days for free use,but you actually predeterminded the date upto which you will like it to use.
