Hello, wow DVDfab is still around. I have used version 8 for years!
Why version 8? Because version 8 had a thing that you can do. In version 8 the part of the program that writes in the registry asked permission to do so. And you could press no & the rest of the program worked perfectly, but the particular exe that kept track of the trial period in the registry was denied operation. So the trial could basically last "forever". I discovered this completely by accident. I just clicked no on the permission popup out of habit thinking it was some bundleware rubbish. But then I noticed that the trial period never progressed.
Later when I reinstalled dvdfab on a new computer I realized that the permission pop up was actually trying to register the program, and I put 2+2 together, found the registration program in the dvdfab folder & deleted it.
Extra perk to deleting it is you can move/copy the dvdfab folder & it still works, just like a portable program, since it never registers I guess.
Dvdfab people eventualy realized this could happen & changed their program to get rid of that "unintended feature". I notice the download link for version 8 is dead, too bad, but not such a surprise I guess.
But if you have old version 8, cherish it & always keep a backup!
