Reset Trial Period Using Time Stopper Software
Time Stopper is a popular software which has been created exactly for the Stopping the time of trial software. If the trial period has already ended then the Time Stopper is not able to reverse the trial mode of the software.

So delete the old shortcut from desktop or from start menu which is created earlier during installation of the trial software.
Extend Trial Period Using RunAsDate software
RunAsDate is very similar small utility to Time Stopper which allows you to run a program in the date and time that you specify. It’s a portable program so you don’t need to install it.
This utility doesn’t change the current system date and time of your computer, it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application.
Another advantage of this program is that, you can run multiple applications simultaneously, each application works with different date and time, while the real date/time of your system continues to run normally. Now follow the steps to use RunAsDate.
- First of all Download RunAsDate and extract it in a new folder.

- To avoid any chances of running the software program directly, you can delete its shortcut from the desktop and create a new shortcut using RunAsDate and place it on the desktop.

I tried the reset method on a software called Beatcraft.It didn’t seem to work. Do you think maybe I have to delete it from prefetch files as well?
The above mention methods would not work for all software, anyway you can try it.
Couldn't get this method to work with software called: Hide All IP. Which gives a 3 day trial period. Does anyone have information how to reset this soft. I'm assuming the file is hidden under another name on my pc?
Same here i am also looking for a way to reset the trail on this software, nothing seems to work besides wiping the computer, which means that it IS somewhere, but the question is, where…
Thank you so much.

Hi anwaar
The above mentioned method will not reset photoshop’s plugins
Is there a way to do it with photoshop plugins?
Does this work for a photoshop extensions(plugins) like coolorus?
My AVIRA antivirus is detecting this as a virus and keeps blocking it. It defines it as (iBryte.Gen7) virus.
Also, why in their homepage: if u want to download, u have to specify your browser and so the download differs in respect to your browser. That is suspicious!! What is their business with my browser, if they are not malware who tries to send my private info or maybe even a trojan???
Hi, i tries everything but did not succeed in deleting I render NXT 6.0! any idea?
So I backed up my registry before I installed the software I want to use. After the trial expired I then restored registry to previous state(before software was installed). However, it still says your trial version expired and you will need serial to continue.
Well, I like the software A LOT but I am not going to buy it because it cost $2,000 USD per year! SO, how can I narrow it down to which other folders need to be deleted in order to reinstate trial?
I understand your problem but trial reset doesn’t works for all software .

Hi, I am a college student, and I am using a website. Will Time Stopper also work on sites, or will they only work on software.
Thank You
It won’t work on website
Unfortunately some programs are not so stupid that the trial period could be easily extended by deleting few entries in the registry. Just run some registry monitoring software (like ZSoft uninstaller or simmilar) and you’ll discover thatr entries are scattered all over the registry, in places that have nothing in common with the software name that some wishes to extend.
Surely they don’t always use their real name when installing a registry entry to end a time trial. I looked at every registry entry manually and found not a single reference to the name of the software with expired time.
I’m pretty sure that when software with time trial puts an end game in your registry they use an obscure name or number specifically so you can find it in reg-edit. I’ve scoured the registry and there is no trace of the software name that has expired. Uninstalling, running a registry cleaner and defragger doesn’t help. Running a newly downloaded program still says time trial expired.
If you ‘decline’ all the shit that comes with Timestopper it won’t install.
very nice thanks….
Hi , what about a software that counts how many time you open it , ex if you have 40 uses and you open the software 4 times a day tomorow you have only 36 times.

thanks, it works for me!
thanks for your feedback
Hi. I tried to use time stopper on a trial version of akvis sketch that i downloaded but when i open the software(which was created by timestopper), the evaluation period is still counting down. Any help? I’d really appreciate it. :))
Hello! I have a more complex problem. I explain: I use RunAsDate and it works perfectly but, when I try to add a new work on the list appears an alert “Impossible to set this part: license expired 06/30/2015”. The date is always backdated as I set RunAsDate, the program starts but I cannot insert any text line becaused license expired. I think I must find another instruction, isn’t it? But how can I crack this second snag?
RunAsDate called a glow application, as it is not a grave application & consider just little kbs. This implement sprints on the date & time stated by us & would not create some modify to the system time.
The are forever solution use deep freeze software.
after install your software don’t open it.
And than go to deep freeze and activitie.
But you can’t save files with it… You must have a external hard disk.

Hi, I want to extend the validity of Adobe Lightroom CC software. The trial period has expired. Has anybody any experience of using the ‘delete registry files’ method on Lightroom?
Extend trial of adobe family is super simple, you just need to find amt folder inside adobe folder at C drive > edit application.xml using notepad or notepad+ (freeware) > find and edit the “trial serial number”.
However it’s better when first install the trial using USA ip address (use free proxy, vpn, or whatever), and create adobe account location in the USA, so you will get 30 days of trial, another country only get 7 days trial.
Instead to remove the registry manually, I’m using Revo uninstaller pro version, this software is awesome, it can clean install both registry and any folder left after uninstall will be removed too.
A lot of giveaway offer this software as free.
RunasDate is the best, but both RunasDate and Time stopper only work for old software. New software usually automatically connect trial code and our computer information to their server, so it doesn’t work.
i have a trial for minecraft education edition, you can only login 10 times after that you will have to pay $5 a year, how would i reset the app after the trial ends (without my worlds gone)
