I know many tech savvy guys prefer downloading software rather than buying original copies from shops. I too like to download trial software and applications from internet because I do not think there is any use of buying an original copy of software, if I keep on formatting my hard disk after every two weeks and keep on changing my operating systems. Previously I was on Windows XP Professional, then I upgraded my XP to Windows Vista Ultimate and, then I formatted my HD again and installed the all new Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 to give it a try. Well I didn’t like it as compared to previous versions of Ubuntu because of some Adobe flash plug-in error, sometimes when I try to install a plug-in in my Ubuntu I get some weird Adobe flash plug-in error. So now I’m planning to upgrade to new Windows Seven.

Today when I logged in my laptop got a message my trial period of Nero burner is over, I was not having time again change the Operating System. I changed my date to two months back, but I didn’t work, still it was showing expire error. That time I had to burn some important data too on my DVD. So I searched on internet to get a solution, finally a found small 844 KB application named Time Stopper which can stop the time of trial versions of software. (Found it on Genius Hackers blog.) It solved my problem. I thought to write a detailed post about it on Extreme Trix as my blog is read by many tech savvies so thought it may help them.

Using Time Stopper we can use any trial version of software forever for free. The best thing what I liked about this application is real time and date run normally on our systems.

How it Works

• Open Time Stopper
• Browse and select .exe of required trial software
• Choose the new date (Any date which occurs in between your trial software time period before expiration, suggestion: set it to two days before trial software expiration date.)
• Choose any time
• Click open software on your selected date

Note: I do not support piracy, I used this software to just extend my trial period of Nero for just five minutes as I had to burn some important files, then after burning my DVD I removed this application and my trial Nero too.
