    Default Questions regarding WinZip...

    I installed WinZip some months ago, because I wanted to install some Nintendo emulators.
    However, my trial period was over a while ago, and I never got to install a NES emulator.

    I was just wondering if it's possible to erase WinZip and then re-install it, and get another trial period?
    Or what should I do?

    Get WinRAR instead. It keeps working even when the trial expires, and functions pretty much the same way WinZip does.

    Winzip continues to function after the trial period expires too.

    I haven't used it in a while, but by now it probably keeps track of past trial periods, though I couldn't say for sure. Whatever the case, you can' beat 7zip - it uses a superior compression algorithm and is capable of dealing with all other widely used algorithms too (ace, zip, rar, arj, etc.).

    EDIT: And it's free, no trial period.

    Well, WinZip refuses to let me use the Evaluation Method or whatever it's called, but I'll ty WinRAR, then.

    I agree with face - go with 7-zip, it's better than winrar, and being free open source, you don't even need to crack it like for winrar (which also has a trial period thing like winzip last time I used it)

    windows xp and later have a built-in zip/unzipping utility if you're using those.

    Why even get winzip if you are on xp? It can already handle zip files just fine.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
