Hi
my question about a way to run the trial versions unlimited time
for example I download a trial version 30 days of a program
so I have an idea to use the program unlimited:

1-after the 30 days finish I keep my current work and saved files on floppies
2-then I format my C: drive and reinstall new windows
3-run the program
5-I have new 30 days

is my way correct??
if you know please tell me before I test it

Or set your computer clock back 30 days.

Or buy the full version. What you're doing is actually illegal activity. I'm just warning you! This topic will be closed soon I predict...

Read the agreement right before it starts installing and see what it says in there.
If they specifically say it must be removed and no future copies ever put on the same computer again, well then that would be illegal.
Software companies are more concerned about people who alter or distribute their software and make money, than someone continually installing and uninstalling a program to avoid buying it. Although they may put impossible to find registry entries that can prevent such practice, and only a whole windows install erases it.
