Avast 5 and Debugging

[deepzero]

The new Avast 5.x has a too strong online check. It has been suggested to patch the exe in way, that it believes it`s a full functional, registered copy and only while updating it still pretends to be a trial version (as trial versions can update without key check).

@deepzero
Are you sure updates possibles working in trial mode?
If possible, we only need to compare windows reg before and after installation and delete differences...

Wrong! License file (.avastlic) contains start date and end date of license. Nothing is written in the registry nor in files. It's simply a difference between EOL (end of license) and current date. (plus a check to ensure date has not been changed).
