He could also edit the registry. If he's brave, anyway. If the entry actually says
"nikon" it should be pretty easy. This is a good reason to run a program like Norton
registry tracker. If nikon doesn't clean the registry when their program is
uninstalled I'm certainly not going to feel bad for them if somebody bends their
rules a bit.
I find it interesting that if you set a date before the most recent use a lot of
trialware will tell you your date is incorrect and tell you to check it. It's almost
as if they don't know what we're doing. I've occcasionally renamed a program along
the lines of "trialware 4-5" to keep track of the last time I used it so I'll know
what date to set the next time. That way if I'm allowed 30 days I can actually have
30 days. 30 consecutive days is way too short if you don't have the time to really
play with something.
