Easiest way would be to trash the application folder, any extensions and control panels installed by its installer and the associated preference file. Then download and install another copy and "try it out" and if you like it send in the $$. >If this is hush-hush, then I understand. But I figure that has got to be a >way to do this.

There is no real way to consistently circumvent the "trial" period as the method of placing the time limit depends on the cleverness of the program writer. These methods have varied over the years from a simple "clock" or "counter" in a preference file to embedding the clock in the program file itself. So few people pay for shareware or that I suspect only very clever programmers make any $$. >Thanks and hopefully I won't get expelled. Ex-communicated. Lost signal. >Dead Battery. Unplugged. Cut-the-cord. Line jacked. Debunked. Overthrown. >Beheaded. Exiled. Solitary Confinement. Etc. Just get and install an new trial version, see if you like it and if so, send in the $$ to the person who provided you with a bargain priced tool that meets your needs.
