Reuse software with a trial period

Closed

Hello,

I had installed software with a 5-day trial period.
When the trial period was over, I uninstalled it and deleted all the folders and keys associated with the software.
When I reinstall the software on my computer, it doesn't work (the computer remembers that I exhausted my trial days).
I want to know how I can completely erase all traces of the software from my computer so that I can have another 5-day trial to work with the software?

Thank you for your valuable help. I am a student and I cannot afford to purchase this software, which is very useful for my studies. I look forward to hearing from you.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello everyone
    Right now I don't agree with you "Transat", when you download software with a trial period, there’s something that gets into the Windows registry, and that's precisely this "file" that you need to find to modify it, because personally I did a very simple test, after exhausting the trial days
    I reformatted my computer and redownloaded the same software and Bingo I have another 30 days of trial

    Conclusion: reformat your PC or find where this damn file is stored in your registry!!

    Bye

    Hello
    It's not your computer that stored the memory of "you have exhausted your trial days". It's the software owners who included in this software a "trick" that after the trial period, forces you to install a "key"
    You can bet that the "inventors" of software offered in "shareware" have to protect themselves from this kind of piracy
    As a student, you may have the option to download a version at a reduced price. Some software does that
    By the way, what software are you talking about?
