trial downloads

Can I make it so the trial version of the software I've been using doesn't know it's already been downloaded once? ie: I want to do another trial of some downloaded software I've been using because I can't afford to buy it right now.
Thanks.

Some programs have stupid trial versions, and all you have to do is set back the date. My computer is currently set to some year in the 1980s, because the days fall in exactly the same places that year. On a negative note, my Blaze DVD Player trial only has 3,000 or so days left!

Sometimes you can uninstall and reinstall. Other times you have to manually dig through the files & registry to delete all traces.

However if it actually contacts a server online to validate the install then you have a lot more work.
