entirely dependent on how the trial "checks itself"
im on mac os not windows :/
Ahh sorry about that, apparently someone made a macos port here https://github.com/ArunyaGoojar/RunAsDate-for-MacOS but it hasn't been updated in 3 years so no idea if it works
Could tell what tried from my comment last month?

What of this you try and what did change/find out?
I'm guessing it either stores/modifies a file on your computer to let it know that it's been installed before, or it might use an online check using some kind of hardware identifier.
If it checks online, Wireshark may help. What operating system are you using?
Don't forget to use an uninstaller tool like Revo to remove all traces first. That way, fresh installations don't flip their unlicensed switch. ☝🏼
You should start by determining how it knows the trial is expired.
Try installing it without internet access to see if it phones home. If it gives an error before installing, (but doesn't say the trial is expired) it might be phoning home to see if the trial is expired.
If it installs offline and still tells you the trial is expired, then that probably means it left some trace of itself somewhere on your computer.
Once you know which method it uses, you can start to work on bypassing it.
