Answer 1 :
sell it and buy a new one!! haha
Answer 2 :
If you are looking for saving bucks, you can go for using cracked software from torrent sites like mininova. You may say that they are illegal softwares and my answer to it is what you had questioned is just the same, an illegall approach.
Answer 3 :
Software usually expires only if it is freeware or trial after which time you need to buy it if you want to continue using it. So, play fair, you obviously like it. You've had good use out of it and no longer can you fool software producers by changing dates on your computer.
Answer 4 :
Pay for it.

What is standard when opening up a bank account in the UK?

What is standard when opening up a bank account in the UK?
I'm filling out an application to open up a London bank account while I live in the US and Australia. Surprisingly however they don't even ask me for my social security #. All they seem to ask for is a notarized copy of my ID from the form I'm reading. Am I missing something here?

Answer 1 :
www.gmail.com try signing up there... if it has a phone number field it might be optional but if its mandatory you can put a friends number or something to receive the code I never had to enter a phone number when i signed up
Answer 2 :
They closed my gmail account and won't let me have access to it until I give them my phone number. They can kiss my ass. I won't be taken hostage over my personal information when 1) they can shut off my account whenever they like and 2) they are only going to use for advertising.

Why is it necessary to submit my personal password of my email account in order to subscribe?

Why is it necessary to submit my personal password of my email account in order to subscribe?
I am not comfortable submitting my password to my personal email account in order to subscribe and become a member of the community! Why is this information even being suggested I simply give out in order to participate, become a member of community? Am not finding the answer to this simple question, and quite frankly, I am not willing, nor do I understand why my password is being requested.

Answer 1 :
It's so that Yahoo know that it is you joining the community & not someone trying to join using your name. It should only come up in blob form (the letters are not shown for real when you type them in) & is as safe as typing in your pasword to access your emails.
