IDM Trial Reset v1.0.0 - quick usage notes
==========================================

Requirements
------------
- Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit
- Administrator account
- Internet Download Manager 6.x installed

Steps
-----
1. Extract the archive anywhere (Desktop is fine).
2. Close Internet Download Manager completely, including the tray icon.
3. Run IDM Trial Reset.exe. Accept the administrator prompt.
4. Press "Reset the IDM trial now".
5. Start IDM again and open Help -> About.

Common issues
-------------
- SmartScreen warning: click "More info" -> "Run anyway". The exe is not
  code signed; that is normal for open source tools.
- "Access denied": you did not accept the admin prompt. Close the tool and
  start it again as administrator.
- Trial still expired after reset: make sure IDM was fully closed before
  pressing Reset, then restart IDM.
- IDM update restored the trial: run IDM Trial Reset again after the update.

Files
-----
- IDM Trial Reset.exe   the reset utility
- config.ini           local settings, loaded automatically, do not rename
- bin/resources.pak    support data used by the launcher
- bin/versions.dat     version table (generated at build time)
- README.md            project overview
- docs/usage.txt       this file
Do not rename or move config.ini or the bin/ folder; the launcher expects
them next to it.
