As you may know, Adobe has discontinued Adobe Director, leaving users with no way to buy the product. Thankfully, there is an easy way to extend your 30-day trial indefinitely. Instructions are below.

1. Run Notepad (or your favorite text editor) as an administrator.

2. Press Ctrl-O to bring up the Open dialog, and paste the following into the File name box: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Director 12\AMT\application.xml

Then press Enter to open the file.

3. Find the TrialSerialNumber near the end of the file.

4. Change any part of the number. For example, I changed the 0 at the end to a 1. Save the file.

5. Open Director, and it should prompt you to sign in again. Sign in and enjoy Director for 30 more days!
