Remove Time Limit From Trial Software With Time Stopper

By Nakodari on Jun 15 2009 23 Comments

So you downloaded a trial software and loved it, now what? The next step would be to use this software forever, but how would you do so? Time Stopper(Update: New version link added, now it comes without ads) is a free tool for Windows that can stop any trial software’s time for you. For example you downloaded a software that comes with 15-days trial, you used for 3 days which means 12 more days are left before it expires. Just run Time Stopper, choose the program, set the date between the trial limit, and it would handle the rest by stopping the time for you.

Below is the complete guide on how to stop a time of a trial software. Make sure that you have read it thoroughly till the end before using this tool.

Note: When this tool will stop the time for a trial software, it will not change or stop your system time.

First click Browse and select the executable(.exe) file of the software whose trial limit you want to remove. Then go ahead and choose the date, this date should be within the trial period of the software. Let me elaborate, for example you installed a trial software on 1st June, used it till 3rd June and is going to expire on 15th June. Now you will select the date between 4th June and 14th June.

On the right side of the screen you will be shown a system calendar so that you can know what date is today. In the next step, choose the time and finally click, Open software on your date button. This will open the software on the date that you have defined.

If you have to open any trial software frequently using Time Stopper, you can create it’s desktop shortcut. To do so, first enter the desktop icon name and then click Create Desktop Shortcut button. Now use this newly created desktop icon to open the trial software you frequently use. ;)

Important Note: The trial limit of the trial software will come to a halt if you use Time Stopper to open that software. And once you use Time Stopper to run any trial software, make sure that you remove all desktop icons of that software. In this way you won’t accidentally click the original program icon otherwise the trial period will be permanently over. I would recommend that you read the help file too that comes with Time Stopper.

It is not a new tool, but can work with most trial software currently available and is compatible with all versions of Windows. You can also learn to reinstall trial software after trial period has expired. Enjoy!

    The problem is that my copy of Time Stopper has a time limit on it. I am at present running almost 100 versions of the product on top of each other just to run another trial version of something else. Thanks guys.

      1. Select the Main EXE of the Trial Version

      Sample: Trial Software Period Date is (1-3-2011) ****TO CHANGED**** (1-3-2010) *2010*
      (So, you can used this software for 1 year)
      3. And… Create a new short-cut on ur desktop
      4. After created the new short-cut… Don’t forget to *delete* the all short-cuts of the trial version
      software. Example: (delete short-cut from desktop, startup… etc…)
      5. then… ENJOY!

      Lol yes you are right. I do always buy the software that I like, but I do my best to live on freewares too. Secondly most trial software have limited features, this tool doesn’t bring in more features. :)

    How to download this software?

    I found that time stopper does not stop a trial with Cisco Network Manager, I followed the instructions to the letter but soon as the trial expired I now longer able to share any folders on my network. At least on a good note Time Stopper does not show up any red flags with Nortons.

  • JH

    This helped a lot! But, my version of Time Stopper doesn’t have the place where you select the time. I have the third version of Time Stopper.

    It’s just a matter of time before the law and the authorities catch up with these guys. This type of software simply aids and abets software theft, since no legitimate use could be claimed (just as with radar detectors).

      look we get screwed from every tom dick an harry in this world they make money an we the people suffer so wake up

    Use open source software and avoid all of these problems if you don’t want to pay. If you want to use proprietary software for free, there are always going to be issues and arguments. I can’t understand why someone would want to fuck about getting hacks for proprietary apps that usually turn out to be shit and usually have an open source alternative that is less buggy by nature of it being updated regularly? Having 100 copies of these time stopper apps to run a trial that would otherwise have expired is just mental. I take my hat off to the will and determination to fuck off the money grabbers and all that but I just couldn’t live with having to run 100+1 apps every time, it would be fucking lunacy.

    for me it wont tell me to change the time(hr).

  • qqqver

    im looking for something that lets me convert videos that are limited to 1 minute for full length. it lets me convert videos over 1 minute but the result can only be 1 minute.

  • rod

    I own my computer including the hard drive. If I don’t want a file recorded on it, I have the right to erase/delete that file, including ****.tt files. I don’t want to change the date stamp or continue to use the program, I just want to free up the disk space I paid for. So does this program allow you to erase a ****.tt file?

  • Rayzer

    Sounds to me like it would be beter to just un-install the program then delet reg keys
    and re-install. Running 101 aplications is insane.

  • Atif

    Wow Great information to share here

  • habahaba

    It’s surely more convenient to buy the software /things you want.. but maybe you can’t find it on the stores and/or you don’t have a credit card and MOSTLY you’re afraid to buy through internet. So when the law takes away the crooks ‘from’ internet /..else where.. then.. then

  • Ray
