So I need to format my hard drive to that I can get a programme with a
30 day trial limit to work again.

I found this great web page -
http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/id-2387.html

According to it - You can keep all your old stuff (Previous home
directory, network settings - so I won't have to reconfigure my
airport extreme card to work with my home wireless network.

Too good to be true?


Is there any easy way of saving my Safari bookmarks?

After 30 days, isn't it time to click the Register button?

Hell with Kinoma producers 2 day trial, I decided I wanted it in 47 hours.

Depends where the hidden files that stores the 30-day limit is. You probably
won't remove it without re-formatting as it won't be in any of the obvious
places...

You could write to the company to ask if you could extend your trial
until you decide if you want it or not, or are you going to reformat
your hard disk every 30 days?

Seems like a lot of work.

The software costs £800 for help with dyslexic reading.

I am going to get a licence in a couple of months when I have the
money so I won't need to reformat every 30 days.

It isn't that much hassle anyway.

Well, I would have thought that to make sure you remove the key for it
you would have to remove a lot of other things that are useful.
I have seen the software you are refering too (or my wife did). They
certainly know how to charge!

Have you considered it may be fun staying in may for a few months ;)

Quite often a way round the 30day trial stuff is just to reset the clock
back to the beginning of the month. I don't know if it will work once
the licence thinks is expired but you could try it. Will make document
tracking difficult by date though.
