If you are having technical issues with an expired installation and want to start fresh with a new trial of the current version, G Data provides an official tool to ensure a clean slate:

: For older versions like 2013, a clean uninstallation followed by a reinstallation may sometimes allow for a new trial period if your system has been significantly updated or if you use a newer installer from the G DATA Downloads page Contact Support

Restart your PC. When G Data starts, it will believe it is a fresh install. You should see a "30-day trial remaining" message.

G Data stored its trial timestamp in the Windows Registry. Users would navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\G Data\AntiVirus\Trial Deleting or modifying these keys would, in theory, reset the counter.

G DATA has moved far beyond the 2013 version. Using decade-old antivirus software is risky because it lacks protection against modern threats like ransomware.

This article will answer all those questions. We will explore the technical methods used to reset the trial back in 2013, the risks involved, the legality, and why—despite the nostalgia—you likely need a modern solution.

This guide dives deep into the process. We will cover why you might want to do this, the manual methods, automated tools, risks, and the modern alternatives that don't require registry hacking.
