I found this solution in J2TEAM/idm-trial-reset's Issues section here. Making this repository for wider reach.
- Search
run
in windows search and open the app. - Search
regedit
and open the app. - Navigate to :
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2092034274-3617384386-2923495293-1001_Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{1890893f-6284-4de7-a5e3-46beb213ce98}
Note: "S-1-5-21-2092034274-3617384386-2923495293-1001_Classes" will change for every system but it will always end in "_Classes".
- Delete this key and IDM should start working as before.
- Note the "S-1-5-21-2092034274-3617384386-2923495293-1001_Classes" value for your system.
- Edit the
reg
file in this repo in Notepad and add your key. - Run the
reg
file and it will automatically delete the IDM entry. - Enjoy
Note : Does not work perfectly anymore. I switched to a proper crack. Link if intrested : ๐ญ.
