When I tried to install Timestopper, it got as far as creating the ‘uninstall data’ and said it couldn’t create the ‘uninstall data’. Then it just closed and stopped installation. What happened?

I hope this works for my game, i just downloaded the program and the freetrial, i already have the game but having two computers means someone is usually using the main “big comp” which leaves me with my “budget comp” so really ive already paid for the game im just trying to get my fair share of playing time. If thats illegal then i’ve lost faith in the freedom of the internet.

Avast! reports many keygens and crackers as viruses even though they are not. It has to do with code being injected into a program or a random number generator.

Are you serious?

“It isnt illegal” – clearly you are trying to steal, or allow others to steal, the use of software from software vendors without paying for the software. The trial software is so that you can evaluate the software without paying for it – if you like it then you can buy a full version.

We have two choices in life here people – go for Linux etc and become expert IT people who will probably contribute more back into the global IT wolrd than they take out, OR pay experts to do the techie stuff that takes hours and hours by buying the software that they produce.

This tool IS theft, if you have an issue with it, dont use it!

Personally, I recognise the software for what it is, and thank you for produsing and sharing it. Please dont pretend it isnt an attempt to steal software!

@giga: "it’s not illegal! If you use the normal trail of a program it’s not illegal." This is what, this software does. You still use trial version of software for unlimited period. So Time Stopper is not illegal. Every Developer can't and won't do that online checking thing.

That’s ridiculous Justin. There are many of us who need to use software which will only run in Windows.

There is no Virus inside. Ive now decomlied the exe and hadn’t found any virus. Just some Antiviruses know the syntax when the Timestopper injects the Time parameters into the program. Also Trainers of games work nearly the same.

Too, it’s not illegal!!! If you use the normal trail of a programm it’s not illegal. But ist’s illegal if you use a crack, keygen or change (deassably or batch) the original EXE. But in this case only change some systemparameters for a program. That is legal, otherwise every Trainer for a game would be illegal!!!

Note: If your programm wants to get the time then allways the timestopper time is displayed.
Tipps for developers to protect against: Start a standalone exe that gets the time and send this back to your main application exe. Then Timestopper hase no chance to stop the time!!!
cheers!!!

Why deal with Trial software when you can try Linux. Check out Ubuntu 9.04. It’s free, and enabling software repositories will allow you to have a central place to get trusted software for the system. There’s no need for a program like this, or trial software. There are other variants of software out there, over 25, 000 packages that is just as good. You can even install Ubuntu on top of Windows with Wubi, or just check out the LiveCD which runs in your RAM, and if you like it, install it onto your hard drive. It’ll take a little to get used to, but it’s far more superior than dealing with trial software, or Windows if the hardware is supported.

If you need help there’s free user support of communities on IRC(Internet Relay Chat) or paid support, or google.

Those of you who have read my comment and agrees and tries Ubuntu out, thanks.

Set clock forward.
Install app.
Set clock back.

As long as a 4th grader doesn’t do it, there’s no need for a 3rd party program.

This is pretty neat! When I was a youngster, I wrote a batch DOS script that would change the date, launch a trial version of Paint Shop Pro, then revert back to the original date. I thought I was so rad!

They could make it so that as soon as you launch the program it starts a timer for let’s say 14 days. When you quit/close the application it pauses the timer. With this method it would not rely on the system clock but a timer.

What a great solution. I guess this is not really piracy, but I am sure that big box manufacturers will have a work around for this really soon.

Thanks Hiroshi, I realized after I posted that – something I should just try for myself.
