Click on browse button, and select the exe file of the program that you want to run. After that, specify the date / time for that program, and click on “Run”. RunAsDate will launch the program for that Date / Time.

How does RunAsDate Works:

This part might get a bit technical, so feel free to skip it. When you click on “Run” button, Run As Date intercepts the Kernel API that is responsible for providing date / time to the program you are trying to execute. It replaces that date / time with the date / time that you provided. This fools the program into running as per your specified date / time. Of course, as we mentioned earlier, some programs might not fetch date / time in this manner, and Run as Date will not be useful for that case.

Note: Some people might try to use Run As Date for extending trial period of shareware. Though this might work in some cases, there is a higher probability of it failing. This is because most of the shareware nowadays are smart enough to know that the date / time being provided to them is not correct. In fact, sometimes the trial might end immediately if they detect that date / time has changed. So, use with caution.
Check out Run As Date freeware which enables you to run the programs as per the date/time specified by you without changing the systems date/time. Run As Date can be downloaded from here.
