Can I just keep setting my system clock back every 30 days to run forever without activation?
Sure, if you don’t mind doing that. Manifold will run forever in that case as a fully operational license with no limitations and no need to activate. Some users do just that if they find Activation is inconvenient, or just if they want to try out different combinations of hardware. Manifold uses a relaxed approach to copy protection that is not as harsh as some schemes that won’t allow such relaxed, full-power operation without utilizing a specialized licensing procedure or which limit the software to a limited number of launches, a limited number of saves or otherwise limit functionality. However, if you keep resetting your system clock that is something easy to get confused about or it may interfere with the operation of other software that takes a harsher approach to copy protection. It’s not a good idea to use this method to share one Manifold license with your friends or to try to run one Manifold license on many machines because if the same serial number is run simultaneously on
