    Maybe the easiest thing is to politely ask the software company in question whether you can extend your trial period for a better evaluation. I think most software companies are quite reasonable and I'm sure they'd rather they extended your trial rather than you trying to circumvent their copyright/piracy.

    Dont think he needs a further evaluation period. He says he really needs it. He just has to put his hand in his pocket or look around for alternative freeware if there is any.

    Maybe if we knew what the program was, we could suggest alternatives.

    As someone said recently on another forum I frequent , 'if its worth using , its worth paying for'

    that goes double if you are making money (directly or otherwise) from its use.
