hey all, i have this program called Ace Utilities that i downloaded. It has a 30 day trail and i really like this program, It does all the registry cleaning , clean, junk , and cache, etc, ..i wanna extend the trail period. for this. Is there any changes in the regiatry or do i just have to buy it, or is there any other software that does all this for me to download.. thanks

Almost certainly the program has a "Continue to use" (till time runs out!!) and/or "Purchase Now" screen when you open it. Even if your time has expired then you will still get this screen. Buy it - credit card is usual. The company will then send you, probably via email, a registration number which you enter on the program screen - then you use it forever!! If you've downloaded the program from the net then whenever you change your system you download it again and re enter the number the company gave you (so don't lose it!!).

Give the maker their just reward for letting you use their product on a trial basis and permiting you to dicover that it does everything you want the software to do. Please purchase it! There is one sure fire way to extend the trial period. It requires you to reformat and reinstall your operating system, then you can download and install the product you like again with a brand new trial period. All the best!

Nope capt you are wrong about reformatting :) just get a tool like JV16 registry cleaner ... then at the end of your trial of the program, uninstall it and then do a clean up of the registry. A proper clean up IF you know how to do it, can remove all the previous entries ... and then you can reinstall the trial again for another 30 days. But that is subject to the type of security the program has ... you system.dat logs all your installed programs since a format so ... seems some tools will read the info from there and deny another trial period. But then again if you like the program, why not buy it ??? Every 30 days you will need to go over the same procedure again. By the way khan, have you ever used System Mechanic ... have a look at it, thats the best tool i have found for pc maintenance.

hey , thanks for the comments, guys , i guess ia m gonan buy the program , it runs great and i cant clean my registry every now and then (i dont think i wanna mess with that :)) thanks again khan
