Does anybody know how to purge a drive of the trialware spyware file from Filemaker so that the trial can be reinstalled and actually work :

Why ?

I downloaded the trial around a month or so ago to test for display of images via path or calculated field aka "web browser style" - it failed.

I deleted the trial.

Yesterday I discover FM 9 has some new slick MSSQL feature that may solve another problem for us and now the rep tells me I'll have to wipe my drive or go find another computer.

Ok Ok I guess I do have two or three PC's within visual range or a Mac mini with only 256mb ram..... but darn it I want it on my dual screen workstation !

Maybe it time to upgrade to v9? Version 7 wasn't the best of the recent releases. There was an upgrade path for some of the older versions, I would check to see what might be available.

AFAIK, once the trial period has passed, it's over for that hard drive, unless you purchase a license.

Also, be sure that the other machines have enough gusto (i.e. that meet the hardware requirement) to run v9. See the System Requirement, and any notes for your OS.
