I have so many softwares, downloaded from net. Most of shareware...
I have found some software's key but some are Trial period. After some days or weeks it will close and I can't run it again. Is there any solution for cracking these type of limited softwares from Registry(regedit)?
I have uninstalled some software and removed entry of that software from Registry. It worked... but not for all type of Trial period software...
Please help me what do I do?

Sorry dude but if you want the program BUY IT!!

No one is going to help you pirate software.. Now, go away!

Please don't ask or expect us to help you steal software. Software falls into several categories. There is commercial software which has to be purchased up front. There is demo or trialware where you get a free but limited version of the software to try out. There is shareware, which is freely distributed on the honor system where you pay if you decide to keep it or you remove it. And finally there is freeware which doesn't involve any cost, but there may be restricitions on usage and distribution (i.e. you can't alter it in any way). There is sometimes, some overlap in these. But the point is that all but freeware requires that you pay if you want to continue to use the software past some trial or evaluation period. To continue to use it without paying is stealing.

Not going into explanations over trial,demo,or evaluation software,as that has been explained.Suffice to say that editing the registry might seem to make the software work a little bit longer,but the owners of the "code" have already thought that one through,and use "other means" to tell the software that unless you now buy the program,it isn't going to work.Just please either uninstall the program for good,or as the site constantly keeps telling people,pay for it legally.You get the benefit of something you want,and the owners can continue to work on any future upgrades,and enhancements,due to a regular budget.Please stay away from any dodgy sites offering cures for everything.It will only end in tears.

Hi,
Since you have used Registry Edit, you can find the remnants of "left-over" software by search for various names associated with the software.
It's a "trial and error" situation.
For example, if you have Lavasoft ePrompter, just a "made up name". then search for both Lavasoft and the name ePrompter.

Best wishes,

Fred,
Are you condoning trying to get around the restrictions placed on demo and shareware to extend the time one can use such software?

The idea behind any program is either to buy it outright,try it for 30 days,then buy,or not,or use a "crippled" version,which will be fully unlocked once purchased.This satisfies everyone.The public can test it in the wild,and the owners can see how their product is doing,and usually via feedback,see if any future adjustments are needed.To suggest "editing" the registry to continue to use the program is no more than theft.If I had written something and saw that answer on this site,the family lawyers would be preparing legal documents within a few hours.I can only summise that you are joking,as you well know Fred,that software developers isn't that stupid. :(
