Hack Software and Run the Trial Program Forever

In this post I’ll show you how to hack a 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 softwares 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.
I hope this helps! Please express your experience and opinions through comments.

Customizing The System Tray Clock

Now, here is a nice trick for you. Customizing your system tray clock like the picture above. It has been applied to my comp :). Pretty nice. But maybe you can corrupt some trial licenses of software that you may have installed. Here it is :

Step 1
Open up your registry editor [start > run > type "regedit"]

Step 2
Navigate to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Step 3
There is two strings named "s1159" and "s2359". By default, the "s1159" is for AM and "s2359" is for PM. Just right click to the value and edit the AM and PM text. Make sure the text is not too long because if it is too long, it will be a problem to view it.

Step 4
If both of the string is not in there, just create the two strings "s1159" and "s2359"

Now, you have a special clock of your own. Change applied may start to active after user logoff or restart the comp. Else, just refresh your desktop to activate it.. Happy modding :) =X and good luck

Policies\Explorer /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

This can be more easier for you to add or change the value in the Registry Editor. In a long explanation :

• REG ADD : adding a registry value
  
• HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer : It will navigate through this value
  
• /v DisableRegistryTools : It will create a value named "DisableRegistryTool". This can be change to your desired value that you want to create.
  
• /t REG_DWORD : And the value created is a "DWORD" value type
  
• 0 : The boolean is set to "0" [off]. "1" = [on]
  
• /f : The data will be force overwritten without any
