This key contains an encrypted binary value that includes your installation timestamp, a hardware hash, and a checksum. Simply deleting this key does not work, because vMix detects its absence and recreates it—often with a shorter remaining trial period. Some versions of vMix write hidden marker files to folders such as: C:\ProgramData\StudioCoast\vMix\ C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\StudioCoast\
