hard to do, you could try system restore back to before the original install.

To be honest though, workshop is now a discontinued product, so although I swear by it's brilliance, there are perhaps other products you need to be trying before buying.

Yep, I had the same problem! Mine run out after 5 days!

I contacted ULEAD / COREL and they were not very helpful. In fact they accused me of trying to reset the clock on my computer (which automatically ends the trial period apparently).

The shorter story is there is nothing you can do other than install it on another computer... and there is nothing to say that it won't happen again.

If you do get it to work again try to make sure you are not using it at midnight. The system clock going into another day may be confusing the trial protection gismo.

It could also be that the 30 day trial is just a marketing gimmick and was never made to last that long anyway!
