The keys of most programs are registered in the registry editor of the operating system. You can use this utility to perform certain key-related tasks.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the Windows Registry Editor using the Regedit command in the Run utility (sometimes Run). Press the Enter key, after which a large editor window should appear on your screen. The left part of it is a tree of folders with records, and the right part is the content of the item selected in the left window. Find the entry you are interested in for a specific program in the folder tree, one by one opening each of them until you find the one you need.
Step 2
Find the entry with the key of the program you are interested in, then in the editor that opens on the right, correct the value at your discretion. It is not recommended to perform this action to reuse the trial period of using the program and other actions related to the use of the licensed software.
Step 3
Please note that working with the registry editor requires great care and caution from you, because editing the wrong entry by mistake or correcting it in an incorrect way can damage the system without the possibility of further recovery. For such cases, it is recommended to create copies of system files in order to restore them in case of malfunction from removable media (mostly floppy disks are used).
Step 4
After you edit the entry with the key of a particular program you are interested in, close the editor and restart your computer. Please note that at the time of making changes to the program, it must be completed completely, since the files involved in the system cannot be edited.
Step 5
Run the program, the key of which you edited in the registry of the operating system, and then, if there have been no changes for the worse, just in case, create a restore point.
