You can backup, view or delete the keys, add to protect or auto cleaning list from the right click context menu. The right pane will show all the detected keys that are used by any shareware titles. The scanning will take a while since some of the methods require scanning the hard drive. To start scanning, simply click on the All located at the bottom left.
This is how a lot of shareware knows you have no trial period left, even if you uninstall and re-install the program again. It simply cleans the registry keys generated by the protectors which are normally not removed even after uninstalling the software. Do note that Trial-Reset does not modify the shareware in anyway. In fact if you know the registry location of where the trial information are recorded for a shareware program, you can create your own text file and save it in the Lists folder. RunAsDate can also have multiple instances of its program running at once, and each one can have a separate date, all different to the real one. This has a similar effect to manually setting your system clock to a different time and date, but in this instance your real clock remains unchanged.
As the name might suggest, RunAsDate performs a trick on the trial software that has expired by injecting the time and date you specify into its process. It is possible to find the location that records that information by using file or registry monitoring software including third party uninstaller software such as Revo Uninstaller but it can be tedious and frustrating work. You might think to yourself, how does the shareware knows how many days left in the trial period? Most of the time these commercial and freeware protectors drop some information somewhere deep inside your computer after installation so they know when it was installed and then comparing with the official current time pulled from the Internet. In the earlier days, you can easily run the expired software by simply backdating the date on your Windows operating system but some software has got smarter to detect this and instantly ends the trial period. The amount of days given to try are normally around 30 days but it could be shorter or longer depending on the author of the software. Normally there are two types of restrictions for shareware.
