Reinstall your Windows and get the demo again. Have fun for another 30 days!

This is illegal, if you didn't know that. The trial period is 30 days only starting the moment you install it (download?). If you don't use it at all for the first 3 weeks, that's your fault. If all else, get the $50 standard edition. You can almost always sell your version if you don't want it, or, if you do want it, upgrade to a higher edition.

If you read the license agreement, you'll see that extending the trial beyond 30 days is not legal. I've even read posts from Conitec officials saying that extending the trial is illegal.

its not illege to restart windows
This is true, however 3dgamestudio is not windows, and therefore, the same renewal rules do not apply.

besides 30 days is not long anoth to test it
I agree, because when I started my trial, I only got through one room before the trial was up.
In some ways, I feel the demo is simply to reassure people that they are getting what they paied for. Regardless of weather they are able to use every feature it offers in 30 days, it reassures you that this is a decent program, and that its worth what I am paying.
As far as stopping people from using the demo over 30 days... you really cant. Once you reinstall windows, there isnt any way for the computer to know what used to be on it. Also, a password from conitec wouldnt work because even if conitec did monitor how many days you have been using the demo, it would be boarderline illegal (i think) for them to remotely disable software on your computer... and if you stayed offline, they couldnt do it anyways.
In the end, it depends on the honor system... some argue its dead. However, its out there... somewhere.
