First of all, with my question, I'm not trying to cheat the system. I pay for all the applications I use. Honest.

However, I must say it bothers me when I: 1)install a trial app. with has, say, a 14-day trial period 2)Uninstall the trial app 3) Install the trial app maybe months later to try it again and get a message saying the trial has expired.

Again, I'm not trying to cheat the system. After all, sometimes you just want to go back and try software again many months down the road -- only to find out that you can't. Also, it kind bothers me that there are remnants of data from an uninstalled application still taking up precious Axim memory.

I understand why developers would want this. Certainly, cheats could just keep installing and uninstalling to avoid paying their fair share. However, to the honest people out there, where is this application data stored and how can it be safely removed.

usually theres a registry entry from the install, do a search in your registry with a registry editor, i.e. resco registry, and then delete the entry, or you can always do a hard reset. :)

usualy there is a install date saved somewhere in the registry...
if now > installdate+30 = no go

I know exactly what you mean.. I really hate garbage files/registry entries. I use MemMaid to keep the system as clean as possible but it can only do so much. I think I'll do a hard reset in about a month or so and make a fresh start. And I don't install trials on my PPC anymore.. I just try them out on the emulator.. keeps the Ax clean.

Is there a thread that explains how to get "emulator" software and how to use it?

My searching has turned up nothing...

Thanks!
