Extending the Ibex evaluation period​

To extend the evaluation period follow these instructions:

On Windows 200 and Windows XP​

On your windows drive under the "documents and settings" directory is a directory called "IsolatedStorage". In a subdirectory under that somewhere (depending on which version of Ibex you are running) is a file called data.dat. You need to find and delete this file. That should be all that is required.

On Windows NT​

On your windows drive under the "WINNT/Profiles" directory is a directory called "IsolatedStorage". In a subdirectory under that somewhere (depending on which version of Ibex you are running) is a file called data.dat. You need to find and delete this file. That should be all that is required.

On Windows 7 and Vista​

On your windows drive under the "c:\users{username}\appdata\local" directory is a directory called "IsolatedStorage". In a subdirectory under that somewhere (depending on which version of Ibex you are running) is a file called data.dat. You need to find and delete this file. That should be all that is required. It is also possible the data.dat file maybe under C:\Windows\ServiceProfile\IsolatedStorage.

On Windows 10 & 11​

On your windows drive under the "c:\users{username}\appdata\local" directory is a directory called "IsolatedStorage". In a subdirectory under that somewhere (depending on which version of Ibex you are running) is a file called data.dat. You need to find and delete this file. That should be all that is required. It is also possible the data.dat file maybe under C:\Windows\ServiceProfile\IsolatedStorage.

Important​

When looking for files in isolated storage alway search as a user with administrator rights. Even as administrator isolated storage files may not be located using Windows Explorer, depending on the settings for hiding system and protected files. The most reliable method is to change to the root directory and use a command window to run a command such "dir data.dat /s".
