How to keep trial version of software working after it expires

NOTE: This strategy doesn't work with everything.

Although it's probably common sense to people with computer knowledge, you can easily make your computer think it's Jan 3, 2007 (or any other date), thereby UN-expiring the trial version of the software you want to use. How to do this?

Step1- Double click on that little digital clock in the corner of your screen. A "Date and Time" window should pop up. It looks something like this:

Step 2- See that box with the 2009 inside it? The one circled in red paint? Good, now click that 'down' arrow to the right of it until you reach a date that took place before you downloaded the free trial. Now you'll be able to use that demo forever. Unless, of course, the the program is wired to it's host website's server, in which case you'll have to buy something, and we definately don't want that.
