Internet Download Manager (IDM) has two registry keys that are used to save the installation timestamp that considers the starting of the trial time. For resetting the timer both keys have to be deleted, besides other configurations that have to be reset to the default configuration.
To reset the time you can do it either by using the original setting that was used while installing the application for the first time. ConfigTime and MData have to be deleted, and the Thread value has to be set to 1 while the Model value will be set to 0x68. in addtion, you have to delete the IDM setting folder in this path %appdata%\IDM
- copy the folowing code and save it in reg file
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DownloadManager\ConfigTime]
@=-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{07999AC3-058B-40BF-984F-69EB1E554CA7}]
"Model"=dword:00000068
"Therad"=dword:00000001
"MData"=-
The other way is by deleting all the keys from the registry which could be done using the Command prompt.
- copy the following code and save it in cmd file
:: Deleting the registery keys
reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DownloadManager\ConfigTime /VA /F
reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{07999AC3-058B-40BF-984F-69EB1E554CA7} /VA /F
:: Deleting the IDM setting folder
rmdir /S /Q %appdata%\IDM
if you are using Windows 32bit you need to delete \WOW6432Node from the registry key
