Trial period was not 60 days but 60 seconds

Hi!

I installed the trial CD today and since the first try I get the message
that the trial period has expired.

Is there a patch, fix ...?

Happy Easter!

Thank you, but it didn't work:

I've two PCs where I tried to install Delphi-Trial. On the first PC I started
timefix and then Delphi-Trial. On the other I started timefix, then restarted
the PC and started Delphi. The result was the same as before: The trial period
has expired.
I did not alter the time or anything else that could cause a conflict.

Kind regards,

Andreas Schmidt

Hello,

Unfortunately, if the time fix patch did not work then
the only way to get it working again is to reformat your
hard drive and reinstall the operating system and the
trial. There are some situations that we know will cripple
the trial software without any chance of repair. One certain
thing is clock tampering. Changing the date to during the
trial will most likely disable the software. Also, there
are some behind-the-scenes things that Windows does that
can have the same effect however these are a bit more rare.
