Question

if I downloaded the autocad 2009 trial just to practice with over the summer and it ended. Could you please explain to me if I wanted to use it again for class, how will be able to do it. Please help.

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel under the "Add & Remove Programs" and uninstall it. Then just re download the program and install it again.

Answer 2

Use the following FREE program to uninstall the trial program

What you must do is also uninstall the Registry keys for the program or otherwise another Trial will see you have already used up your trial period

Then do a Restart

This won't uninstall the files you saved

Answer 3

call Autodesk and buy the license. that is why it is a trial, so people cant use it forever......but if you must........ go into the program files and delete the autodesk folder and into the registry and delete all autodesk keys then re -install

Answer 4

ok listen carefully b4 the trial ends rewind the clock on your computer to a later date therefore u have tricked the trial and keep doing that to have a never ending free trial also a little trick i learned is to install the program even for shared users such as a guest and acivate your computers guest account and use the trial there and watch its ''days left'' section it will change randomly giving u unlimited time to use it

Answer 5

There is a small trick to have a trial work for you FOREVER!  And I dont mean buying it.  Keep this under the table (LOL)!!  But it takes a small amount of work on your end, but what you can do is edit the registry and reinstall the trial.  Hit..Start...Run....REGEDIT

When in the registry, do a find and look for Autocad 2009.  Everything you find, DELETE IT.  If the registry has nothing in it refering to Autocad 2009, then when you install it the system will think it is a new install so that you can start the trial all over again.  You can keep doing this for as long as you'd like.  But any mistakes you make in the registry could really mess up your system.  So i'd be careful, but i used to do this while in college when i was given trial programs to use during the semester.  And i was just like you, to where i'd install it way ahead of time and play with the program.  

This does work, but just becareful!

Good luck
