  • Trial expired after ONE DAY!

    Posted by Sam Cole on November 19, 2011 at 4:00 am

    After seeing how well MC6 ran on a Mac I decided to try the trail on a PC running MC3.5.

    I did the instal and during that it warned me that the date of my computer was wrong so I ignored it and went ahead with the instal.

    When the instal was complete I restarted as requested and after it rebooted the first thing I did was reset the date correctly.

    Then I ran MC6 and it came up and told me that the trial had expired!

    Well it then became clear what I had done – DOH!!!

    So does anyone know how I can reactivate the trial? Seeing as the software hasn’t actually been available for 30 days makes me wonder why it thinks its expired even if the initial date was wrong.
