evaluation version expired immediately after installation
(OP)
I realize that this isn't exactly a question on using PSP, but I thought I'd start here and see what kind of response I get!!
I purchased a book on web desing about six months ago, it contained a supplementary disk which contained a trial version of PSP, PHP, MySQL etc etc etc ...
I installed PSP from the disk about 6 months ago (or maybe it's a little less) and uninstalled it a week or two later as I wanted to install PHP & MySQL and didn't have enought space on my hard drive for all of them. Now, I want to reinstall PSP, but as soon as I installed it and tried to run it I got a message saying that the evaluation version had expired and I'd have to order a fully licensed version. How can I get arund this, seing that I never really got to "evaluate" the product for the full trial period.
How can I reinstall it so that I can continue where I left off ... ?

Downloading a trial version might work, if its a different version than the one you're having trouble with. However, I wouldn't rely on that working.
The only proper way to fix your problem is to purchase the software, but it costs a lot (although its worth it).
Another solution, although VERY risky, is to uninstall PSP, then go into your registry and delete all the keys that point to PSP, but unless you know what you're doing with your registry, dont attempt this.

As some you might know, I work very closely with Jasc, including having 10 of my tutorials included with the Anniversary Edition of Paint Shop Pro. I would hope and do not think that editing the registry will work. Think about it. If it did work, all one would need to do is install an evaluation version of psp and then uninstall, edit the registry and then re-install the evaluation version without ever having to purchase the product. If anyone wants to know the steps to editing the registry to tell a computer that an install of psp is a fresh install, then those steps should be received from Jasc. If one explains their reason for not using the evaluation version for the full evaluation time, Jasc may or may not allow a re-install of their product.
I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but we should not be telling anyone how to possibly circumnavigate the terms of use that one agrees to when installing an evaluation version of Paint Shop Pro.

It was well woth the effort though it's still one of the best graphic packages and really holds its own against some very expensive alternatives.
