A quick Google search yields dozens of automated resets: "MBAM Killer," "Malwarebytes Anti-Protection," "Reset_MB_v4.exe," and "TrialReset by Ratiborus."

Do these work? Yes, technically. Tools like TrialReset (popular on Russian and Chinese forums) target the exact registry keys and license cache folders. They automate the "Clean Uninstall" process above and often spoof your MAC address.

The massive caveat: Respectable security experts (including the team at BleepingComputer) warn that 90% of these tools are Trojan horses. Because these resets require deep system access (Administrator privileges), malicious actors inject keyloggers, clipboard hijackers (for crypto wallets), and backdoors.

If you must use an automated tool:

Verdict: Avoid automated resets unless you are a security researcher. The risk of infecting your machine outweighs the $4/month cost of a license.


This is the only reliable technical workaround that modern pirates use, but it is cumbersome.

Some users have created scripts/tools (e.g., “MBAM Trial Reset”) that automate registry + file cleanup. These often trigger antivirus alerts and may carry malware risks. Not recommended for security.
