I was looking for a way to hide my IP address the past week. I seen this site http://www.hide-my-ip.com/ where I could download the trial version to try it out for a week.
I downloaded it and registered afterwards when I tried to activate it. As soon as I filled out the registration form and went to activate it, it told me my trial has expired. I have never used this before and my computer is only a few months old. I tried it at work on my work PC and it worked perfectly fine and never told me that my trial had expired.
I can not figure out why it is telling me this on my home PC that I recently bought. I would like to be able to try this out at home on my computer, but it is not letting me.
Does anyone know why it could be doing this? Also if anyone that has had this same thing happen to them, if you have some advice on what I might be able to do to fix this.
I would like to purchase this if it works well, but I would like to try it out before I do so.

I can not try it out at where I work, because I am not suppose to be on the Internet at my job. I got away with downloading it at my job without anyone seeing me, but I cant seem to find the time to see if it works.

If anyone could help me or if anyone has any other advice on how to hide my IP address for free before you buy it, please let me know.
I also do not want to use a proxy server because of legal issues and virus and hackers that can affect your computer by using a proxy.

I would appreciate any advice at all.

Thanks

I'm not sure what "registration" you are referring to as Hide My IP doesn't require any such thing.

We provide a free, 3 day trial to our software. You don't have to "register". You don't have to give us your credit card (unlike other companies). You only have to download the software and you receive you're free, 3 day trial.

The trial is very limited to a single IP address. It is simply designed to see if the software can be installed in your computer and if it works.

I didn't mean like an actual registration process. I just meant installing it to my computer. The form I was filling out was to buy the product, before I noticed the free trial you can use first.

When I click on the desktop icon to turn it on and get a different IP address. It tells mt that my trial has ended when I have never used this program before, or any other kind of program for that matter.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem before and how they fixed it if they did. I would like to try it out for a day before I buy the software.

any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

The trial version is good for 3 days. The clock starts to tick when the download/install is complete. It makes no difference if the trial version of the software is used or not during those 3 days, the clock counts down. After 3 days, whether used or not, the trial version expires.

If a person attempts to re-initiate a trial version in the same computer that the software was once loaded into, the software detects this and will not begin a new trial version. Many software producing companies have this feature, in one form or another.

The only alternative is to download the software into a computer you may have that has not yet had Hide My IP installed. That would give you a 3 day trial of the software.
