Run applications on specific time/date


This week I would like to share a nice utility which is called RunAsDate. This utility is capable of running a program at a time and date that you specify. The utility doesn't change the system time and date but it only adds the date/time that you specify to the program.

You can use RunAsDate with multiple applications at the same time. Each application can run at the desired time of its own while the system time is going normally itself.

We can make time-limited applications to run on the specific time/date so that they'll never expire. That sounds really good! Let's see how are we going to apply the utility.


1. Open RunAsDate and then type in the path of the application. You can type the path by yourself or click Browse and do the search. Then, we need to specify the date and time that the application will run at.


2. Uncheck "Move the time forward according to the real time" option to stop the time and date that the application would run at.


3. Type the desired shortcut name to create the shortcut with RunAsDate already configured, for further use. Then, click "Create Desktop Shortcut". You'll get the shortcut application that run the time/date you specified.


4. Close RunAsDate. Now you can enjoy your time-limited application that will never expire.

You can download RunAsDate here. If you're using 64-bits operating system, you can download here.

This application won't work on all time-trial applications since it's not developed for extending trial periods.
System Requirements : Windows XP or later.
