First so have you to download and install the program, when that are done so turn your clock one year forward as i did... Or one month but i ahve to be more than 30 days, if you don't see the point so will the program expire after 30 days, we don't want it to expire now...

Now when you are staring the program so will you see this message coming up

Well,, we realy don't want to purchase right now, we will crack this shit now instead ;)

Copy clip.exe into another directory and open it on your W32Dasm, and start a search in it for this message "The trial period has expired, you must purchase clipcache. purchase now?" and you will find this code now..

:0041B9BA 57                      push edi
:0041B9BB A900000200              test eax, 00020000
:0041B9C0 8BF9                    mov edi, ecx
:0041B9C2 0F8415010000            je 0041BADD
:0041B9C8 A802                    test al, 02
:0041B9CA 7473                    je 0041BA3F		<-- This jump are never activated
:0041B9CC 56                      push esi
* Possible Reference to String Resource ID=00149: "The trial period has expired, you must purchase ClipCache. P"
                                  |
:0041B9CD 6895000000              push 00000095
:0041B9D2 8D4C2424                lea ecx, dword ptr [esp+24]

Well, i got Win2K so i can't use Hiew so i will change the opcode instead of the ASM code now, open you other clip.exe in your hexeditor and search for "74 73 56 68 95" and you will find it, now we will chenge it to "EB 73 56 68 95" and "EB" are the opcode to "JMP" ;)

Time Trial Removed

Ending

There are many more ways to remove this trial at, like use one "MOV AL,1" change "JE" to "JNE" etc... the choices are ther, but the question, wich one will u use ?
