![]() How to extend or reset the trial period of shareware, trial-ware, demo-ware or trial software? ![]() So what if you want to extend the duration of the trial period of the demo apps to fully evaluate it? Or you have installed the demo software or shareware, but suddenly busy with works or something else, and when finally free, the trial valid date has passed? Or you may be decided that the shareware is not worth to pay? The solution or workaround is to extend or reset the trial apps expiry date and time, or its trial period, so that users can continue to using the trial shareware without crack or hack. After passing the trial expiry date and time (expiry of trial period), the software will either stop working, or continue working with limited or restricted features, or displays a reminder message about expired trial demo license. The plan is sort of “try before you buy”, where if users satisfy with the software after trying it, they should buy the program by paying a license fee to the developer. If you can get to the Virtual Machine Library window, btw, you can also pause or restart from this view too.A lot of software and applications are released as a shareware, also known as demoware (demo) or trialware (trial version), where users can download the trial version shareware from the Internet or get the apps from distributed magazine cover-disks, and use it for a stipulated period of time (trial period), free or charge without any payment. Good? Click “Restart” and it’ll reboot the entire virtual machine - and, of course, the Windows 8.1 operating system running within VMWare Fusion - and get you back to the start screen. It’ll confirm that’s what you want to do: What you seek is off the Virtual Machine menu, as becomes obvious when you see what it offers: Move your cursor up to the very top of the screen and wait a second or two and all sorts of things appear: I got stuck in Tiny Death Star and needed to do a force restart within VMWare Fusion myself, and to make it more complicated, I was running in full screen mode so I couldn’t see any of the Mac controls. Fortunately, unless VMWare Fusion freezes up (something I’ve never experienced) you should be able to get to its controls… One of those essential secret bits of information to help you retain your sanity when everything else on your Windows system goes south, though it’s definitely not the recommended manner of restarting if your system is still responsive (instead use “Restart” from the Power menu or its equivalent, depending what version of Windows you’re running).ĭrop this all into the world of VMWare Fusion - or Parallels - on your Mac and it’s a bit more nuanced because it’s not always obvious how to get to some of those capabilities, and while you can ostensibly restart your entire Mac, the entire point of virtualization is that you shouldn’t need to do so. ![]() Ah yes, the so-called three-finger salute of Ctrl-Alt-Del on a Windows PC.
