I don't think they will help, since this is a trial version. This is something that happens every now and then. I don't know why, and have experienced it myself with an older version of Ulead PhotoImpact. There's a mechanism built into the TBYB, that will trip the 30-day limit if there's an attempt to circumvent the 30-day limit. There is one work-around.. reformat your hard drive, but I don't think a trial version is really worth reformatting a system.

Hello girly,

The most common cause of this is if someone or something change your clock settings even if its just a milliseconds, the trial will automatically detect that you are trying to extend the 30 day trial and will automatically expire.

One of the setting that I'm referring is the SYNCHRONIZE WITH AN INTERNET TIME SERVER enabled, since this will automatically adjust your clock even if you do not adjust it.

If you really want to try the program, please remember that you still have the 30 day money back guarantee incase you decide to buy the program without trying it.
