7 developers in Canada eh!?
Just bunch of Canucks coding for the love of perfect streaming video <3
While there is no official "reset" button provided by the developer, ExtendOffice, users often seek ways to restart the trial period after it expires. Official Trial Durations
In conclusion, while searching for a "Kutools trial reset" is a common reaction to an expired trial, it is a solution fraught with peril. The risks of malware, system instability, and ethical compromise make it a poor strategy for serious users. The truly "best" path forward is not to circumvent the developer’s protection, but to either invest in the license to support continued development or to master the native features and free alternatives that Excel already provides. Productivity is not just about having the right tools, but about using them securely and sustainably.
Result: The old registry reset methods often fail. Even if you delete the keys, Kutools remembers, "Hey, this computer already had a trial 60 days ago." You might see a message like "Trial already used on this device."
Q: Can I use a virtual machine to reset Kutools indefinitely? A: Yes, technically. Install Kutools on a Windows VM (VirtualBox). Take a snapshot before installation. Every time the trial expires, revert to the snapshot. But this is impractical for daily Excel work.
Warning: Editing the Windows Registry is risky and can cause system instability if done incorrectly.
