Someone had guessed himself a long time ago, someone, after reading the title, immediately understood the thought, but someone still doesn’t know how to endlessly use endlessly limited versions of trial programs to use without much difficulty.
Sandboxie is a program designed to isolate other programs. First of all, to prevent viruses from infecting your computer and so on. By running the program in the sandbox and suspecting something wrong, you can instantly clear this sandbox. In addition, the program running in the sandboxie cannot make any changes on the user's computer. However, this does not interfere with the use of already existing user files, and when these files change, a duplicate is simply created in the sandbox, which you can “restore” with a right mouse click (in other words, it can be accessed from the sandbox so that the file can be accessed by Sandboxie). Those. just what you need to use the same trial versions of programs 100 times. ')
The algorithm is simple:
Install sandboxie
From the sandbox we start the installation of the necessary trial version of the program
We use the program for the entire lifetime (if you need the files that the program creates - we remove them from the sandbox by "restoring")
After the trial period expires, we create a new sandbox and then starting from point 2
Well, for a snack a couple of comments:
It is necessary that before this the program was not installed on the computer, but installed immediately in the sandbox
There is no need to clear the sandbox - you never know, you have forgotten to restore any file. You can simply create a new one (sandboxie supports many isolated environments) and reinstall the program in it.
Regarding the legality of this algorithm, I do not know. Perhaps, in some agreement on the use of some program and said something.
