Run As Date app

[Rainmaker]

I've been using a small utility from Nirsoft called RunAsDate for years on a program that has an expiration date where it stops working. The app starts the program at a set date before it expires, without affecting the date / time of anything else on the computer. This has run flawlessly until Windows 11. For some reason, it can't seem to manipulate the date in Windows 11.  I've tried compatibility mode without success. This isn't to extend a free trial period for the app, like many other software companies, the makers have gone to a subscription model where they charge you an annual fee to use it, although it's basically a math based program that doesn't change. It doesn't appear that Nirsoft has updated the app to work on win 11. Anyone know of a workaround? I may just be out of luck and have to keep an old win 10 box just for this one app.

I don't have much experience with it, but in March I did happen to use it successfully, and it was on Win11 (Dev). If you're on Canary, I have no idea about that.

 

Looking it now, I see I had it set for "Absolute date/time," "Move the time forward..." and "Immediate Mode."

 

Not set for compatibility mode, but it is set to run as administrator (I don't recall if this is significant in this case).

 

Failing any of that, try testing against some other program to ensure that it's not the problem now.
