not always... In fact most of the trial periods are NOT based upon the computer date!

Which can be extremely hard to find, even if you're an expert in the registry...

Also, many programs store this kind of data (encrypted) in the registry or even in simple (but still hard to find) data files on your HDD or in not related basic Windows files.

exactly, and most of them are not directly based upon the PC's data/time, but rather on the amount of days since the first installation.

moral: unless you have extremely good knowledge on what your searching for, you wont find it. Besides, it is absolutely illegal to try to alter such things...
