THERE IS AN EASIER WAY, I HAVE JUST FOUND. Rather than downloading this tool and continuously using it, you can upgrade by: Going to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > "Change/Remove" on "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - ENU". Click Next, then select the "Upgrade" radio button, and enter this key: XMQ2Y - 4T3V6 - XJ48Y - D3K2V - 6C4WT. It will then upgrade it, removing need for this tool. I will keep it here in case Microsoft disable this key. ---------- Visual Studio 2008 Professional Trial Bypasser ---------- by ,ad8888ba, 88 d8"' `"8b 88 d8' 88 88 8b,dPPYba, ,adPPYYba, 8b,dPPYba, ,adPPYb,88 ,adPPYba, 88,dPYba,,adPYba, 88 88P' "Y8 "" `Y8 88P' `"8a a8" `Y88 a8" "8a 88P' "88" "8a Y8, 88 ,adPPPPP88 88 88 8b 88 8b d8 88 88 88 Y8a. .a8P 88 88, ,88 88 88 "8a, ,d88 "8a, ,a8" 88 88 88 `"Y8888Y"' 88 `"8bbdP"Y8 88 88 `"8bbdP"Y8 `"YbbdP"' 88 88 88 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: ------------ This program allows you to use VS2008 Professional "Trial" after it has run out. You just run the .exe and it will open the Integrated Development Environment for you even though you have run out of days to use it. Release Date: 04/10/2009 Version: 1.0.0.8 Instructions: ------------- 1. To start VS2008, simply run the .exe file that was originally called "VisualStudio2008TrialBypasser.exe" 2. It should automatically see your installed configuration and work without any other configuration necessary. 3. It can be placed anywhere on you computer, but I would recommend you copy it to your desktop. Prequistites: ------------- 1. The .NET framework version 3.5 or higher. If you installed VS2008 you have this. 2. An install of the trial version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - get it free from microsoft here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vs2008/products/cc268305.aspx Problems: --------- 1. Your date is wrong. ------------------- Change it back, don't close the program next time - it will close itself. UPDATE: It now resets the date when you close the program. IT is now less likely that your date will be messed up. 2. I keep getting "Handled Program Start Error" -------------------------------------------- Make sure you have Vs2008 Professional installed in either English or German. Other languages copy the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - {LANGUAGE_CODE} to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - ENU Make sure devenv.exe exists. Make sure you haven't moved the install location manually to a different folder/drive. 3. I keep getting "Handled Registry READ Error" -------------------------------------------- See 2, similar problem. The program cannot find or read the registry keys. 4. I keep getting "Handled No Registry Key Exists Exception" --------------------------------------------------------- Read 2 and 3. 5. The bypass program keeps quitting before VS2008 is up and running ----------------------------------------------------------------- Right click, Create a shortcut of the program. Right click on it and choose Properties. In the text field "Target" add the number of seconds you need it to wait after the last quoatation mark (") MULTIPLIED BY 1000, ie in milliseconds. So 10 seconds would look like: "{SOME_PATH}VisualStudio2008TrialBypasser.exe" 10000 6. Other problems -------------- Post them in the comments section of the site you downloaded this from. MD5 Hashes of Files: -------------------- VisualStudio2008TrialBypasser.exe - cfbc327d45d0f43a0e0587dea78b9d63 (NOT a virus: see http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/d6145810e80e955a8f201196baa80913 ) How Does It Work?: ------------------ All this application does it changes the date to 5 days after you installed VS2008 Professional, runs the program, then changes the date back. It finds the install date from this registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{D7DAD1E4-45F4-3B2B-899A-EA728167EC4F}\InstallDate and the install location from this registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - ENU\InstallLocation or from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - DEU\InstallLocation as only English and German are supported. It runs the devenv.exe in the {InstallLocation}\Common7\IDE[/nfo]
