Well I have tested several programs for just this situation,
even programs that I have already registered.
I have one that says, for instance, 21 days left. I removed
it; removed the DBs; made sure it's preference info (from
saved and unsaved preferences)was removed; removed all backup
copies from my PC. I reinstalled it fresh and it still
said 21 days left (out of 30).
Now how is this possible if it did not hide some other data
somewhere?
