Description
===========

RunAsDate is a small utility that allows you to run a program in the date
and time that you specify. This utility doesn't change the current system
date and time of your computer, but it only injects the date/time that
you specify into the desired application.
You can run multiple applications simultaneously, each application works
with different date and time, while the real date/time of your system
continues to run normally.

How does it work ?
==================

RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date
and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and
replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify.

System Requirements
===================

RunAsDate works under Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and
Windows Vista. Older versions of Windows are not supported.

Versions History
================

* Version 1.05:
o Fixed bug: When using 'Create Desktop Shortcut', the /immediate
and /movetime options were not added to the shortcut's command-line

* Version 1.04:
o The main dialog-box is now resizable.

* Version 1.03:
o Added 'Immediate Mode' - Change the date immediately when the
program starts.

* Version 1.02:
o New option: Move the time forward according to the real time.

* Version 1.01:
o New option: Create a shortcut on your desktop that will run a
program with the date/time that you specify.
o When you don't specify the time in the command-line, the current
time will be used, instead of 00:00:00.

* Version 1.00 - First release.

Using RunAsDate
===============

RunAsDate doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL
files. In order to start using it, simply copy the executable file
(RunAsDate.exe) to any folder you like, and run it.
In the main window of RunAsDate, select the desired date and time and the
application that you want to run. Optionally, you can also specify the
command-line parameters to run the program. Press the "Run" button to
start the application with the specified date/time.

Immediate Mode
==============

In versions prior to 1.03, RunAsDate always waited until the kernel was
fully loaded, and only then injected the desired date/time. This mean
that some programs that get the date/time im very early stage, received
the real current date/time, instead of the fake date/time of RunAsDate.
Starting from version 1.03, when the 'Immediate Mode' is turned on,
RunAsDate inject the date/time immediately when the process starts,
without waiting to the kernel loading. However, this mode can also cause
troubles to some applications, especially if they were written in .NET

If executing an application from RunAsDate cause it to crash, you should
turn off the 'Immediate Mode'.

Using RunAsDate from Command-Line
=================================

You can also use RunAsDate from command-line, with the following syntax:
RunAsDate.exe {/immediate} {/movetime} [dd\mm\yyyy] {hh:mm:ss} [Program
to run] {Program parameters}

Examples:
RunAsDate.exe 22\10\2002 12:35:22 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE"
RunAsDate.exe 14\02\2005 "c:\temp\myprogram.exe" param1 param2
RunAsDate.exe /movetime 11\08\2004 16:21:42 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE"

RunAsDate Limitations
=====================

* RunAsDate only works on 32-bit Windows applications. You cannot use
it for old DOS 16-bit programs or for 64-bit Windows applications.
* RunAsDate will not affect applications that take the current
date/time from another source. For example: application that loads the
current date from remote server.

Translating RunAsDate To Another Language
=========================================

RunAsDate allows you to easily translate all dialog-boxes and other
strings to other languages.
In order to do that, follow the instructions below:
1. Run RunAsDate with /savelangfile parameter:
RunAsDate.exe /savelangfile
A file named RunAsDate_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
RunAsDate utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
editor.
3. Translate the dialog-boxes and string entries to the desired
language.
4. After you finish the translation, Run RunAsDate, and all translated
strings will be loaded from the language file.
If you want to run RunAsDate without the translation, simply rename
the language file, or move it to another folder.

@pfm609 If there is a program you have that is using a trial you can set the time back a few years. So you have a few years before it runs out
