#ABLETON LIVE TRIAL EXTEND INSTALL#

One interesting way to do this would be to install Parallels, a virtual machine program that lets you run Windows in a window on your Mac.You likely won't want to go through the trouble of creating a virtual machine to restart a software trial, but if you already have one, this is a great way to keep your trial going. Because each virtual machine is seen by the software as a separate computer, this method will work for any trial software that doesn't require you to create an account or activate a license. If you're able to do so, you can install trial versions of software in a new virtual machine each time the previous trial runs out. Install trial software in a virtual machine. Disconnect from the internet, and then reconnect.Replace with the interface name you noted earlier (e.g., en1), and with the randomly-generated MAC address. Type sudo ifconfig ether and press Return.You'll now see a randomly-generated MAC address with colons separating its values. Paste openssl rand -hex 6 into the prompt and press Return.Because your MAC address will return to its default once you restart your Mac, you don't have to worry about writing it down.Remember the interface name, as you'll need it soon. Here, you'll see the name of your network interface (e.g., en1), and your current MAC address. If you really want to be on the safe side, you can use a few quick Terminal commands to temporarily change your MAC address: If you're trying to restart the trial period for software that verifies your account or computer online, it may have your MAC address (the hardware address of your network interface) on file.
