This little trick works with version 1.0 final, and I would guess all the beta versions as well.
I downloaded the launcher file written-up by Digian, and was quite impressed with the fact that it used standard programs.
After reading through the documentation, I decided to do a bit of investigation into how to get around the 30 day limit without having to run a launcher or crack.
What follows are the steps I use to do this.
*** BEFORE STARTING, BACKUP YOUR NEWSLEECHER
EXECUTABLE FILE AND YOUR REGISTRY ***
1: Download a hex editor. I used the freeware XVI32
(http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm).
2: Open your hex editor and search for the string "CLSID".
3: Replace this string with something unique. I used CLSOP
4: Search for the string ".TMP"
5: Replace it with something unique. I used ".QQQ"
6: Delete the following keys (Some may not exist)
HKCU\Software\Licenses
HKLM\Software\Licenses
HKLM\Software\The Silicon Realms Toolworks
HKCU\Software\The Silicon Realms Toolworks
7: Run NewsLeecher. You should now have 30 days.
When your 30 days are up:
8: Open regedit, and delete all CLSOP entries.
9: Delete the following keys (Some may not exist)
HKCU\Software\Licenses
HKLM\Software\Licenses
HKLM\Software\The Silicon Realms Toolworks
HKCU\Software\The Silicon Realms Toolworks
10: Delete the .QQQ files from your temp directory (use Windows' search fucntion
for this if you have too)
11: Run NewsLeecher. You should now have 30 days again.
Thanks go to Digian for his launcher, which pointed me in the right direction for this little trick.
