Which is great unless you have a hosed install and you don't really want to format the whole system. Which is what one user has, he has no way to do a true uninstall and hence he can't do a clean install, so he is stuck in limbo. AnyDvd doesn't work for him and no matter what he does, short of formatting, he can't get it to work. So the whole reason for this thread was to request a "true" uninstaller, or a cleaner tool. If he has purchased a license, which I believe he has, or we wouldn't be on page 7 of this thread, he has no way to get AnyDvd to work except format, which, IMHO, is not an option. He is not trying to get "around" the trial from what I can see, he just wants to be able to use the software he paid for without having to do a format. 8)
