I dont know if what I am about to tell you is exactly 100% true, but this method seems to work for me. Also, since it invovles the use of warez then I give Bad_Brain full permission to delete this post if so, because no one likes to get in trouble with the law.
Ok. Let's start by this, in order for a program to see if a serial is correct, it must do what? Connect to the internet. So, what if we stopped it from connecting to the net before it checks the serial and gives you a big fat "30 DAY TRAIL" screen again. Well, this is simple, you download a firewall, I recommend Zone Alarm:
Code: Select all

Now you must configure the program to ask for anytime to connect to the net, this may be the biggest pain of the ass you ever encountered, but you can configure some programs such as AOL or GAIM to connect to the net without permission. Now, when the warez program trys to connect to the net, refuse the offer. This may cause you to have a outdated system, but it might keep your free product forever. This method worked outstandingly well with me for Photoshop. If you use a AV software, then try to manually download the updates and plugins. But, I may have to note, this method may not work all the time, software such as Fruity Loops use registerys to determine fake or real serials. I hope you found this some help.
