Flash trial/system time on Mac OSX HELP



Flash trial/system time on Mac OSX HELP corrieB

flash (macromedia): :o
I am a design student on winter break, and I wanted to learn more about Flash
before the next semester begins, so I downloaded the trial. I (I know, please,
no lectures here) set my system clock ahead to 2007 before I installed the
trial version, and after install, I set it back to 2004. Now when I try to
launch the trial version, I get a message saying something about please set my
clock forward to the correct date or Flash will not work. I don't WANT to set
it forward! I just want the trial to work in the present. (Admittedly, I
thought that if I set the clock forward then back again that the trial wouldn't
expire until 30 days after date of install - 2007 - but Macromedia is smarter
than that...) So, I tried deleting the installed trial, and re-downloading and
trying again, but it still thinks I installed in the future. I ran the Flash
Player uninstaller and then re-installed it, and that didn't help the problem
with the trial. Can anyone help and tell me what I need to do to make the trial
function in the present? I won't try jury-rigging it again, and if I like it, I
found out that the educational version is available inexpensively enough to buy
next semester, but if I buy it, I won't be able to install it until I get this
problem fixed anyway (my guess)!! Please help if you can...

yes they are smart , there is a security features that checks and make sure you don't temper
with the clock and if you do the application won't work or still simply expire at
given time. It is call 30 day DEMO for a reason.

Format drive , don't mess with clock and do clean install for 30 day.
Than just buy and don't use official macromedia forum to ask how to fix their
application. It is forum monitored by the officials so is kind of silly asking
about that stuff here especially that you in violation of your user license agreement
to which you agree but installing the program on your machine.
