Illustrator never ending trial period
Raw
free-illustrator.md

How Does It Work

All you have to do, to extend your trial period, is change number in TrialKey element in application.xml. This file is located in /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2018/Support Files/AMT/AI/AMT. You can navigate there with this command:

cd /Applications/Adobe\ Illustrator\ */Support\ Files/AMT/AI/AMT

Then you have to open the file and edit it. You can use just nano editor in terminal.

sudo nano application.xml

Now find the TrialSerialNumber Data key:

<Data key="TrialSerialNumber">911997077777979240115317</Data>

And increment this number by one:

<Data key="TrialSerialNumber">911997077777979240115318</Data>

Now close the editor (ctr+x), save file (y), yes for rewrite (enter). Now when you reopen your Illustrator, you will be promped to login and you should have another 7 days of trail period.

I found a method.
Only for Windows.
Open registry editor (regedit.exe)
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Classes->dromjmfile.
Delete this file.
Enjoy!

I think the best way is pay or just reinstall every 7days

dromjmfile not found. It's for Camtasia Studio I guess.
