    Unless you are able to modify and recompile the source code, or find someone willing to do that, there is nothing to do.

    I am unable to build it since 5 years ago. Sorry to say: http://www.curiostudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5589

    My son has visual studio 2010 on an old PC. It can open Greatnews source files.
    But what files need to be changed?

    In MainFrm.cpp on line 2685, you can simply set a new expiration date at:
    void CMainFrame::CheckVersionTime()
    {
    CTime time = CTime::GetCurrentTime();

    if(time > CTime(2017,6,30,23,59,59) && m_remindToUpgrade < 3)
    {
        m_remindToUpgrade++;
        MessageBox(ResManagerPtr->GetString(IDS_UPDATETONEWVERSION),
            _T("GreatNews"),
            MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    }
    

    }

    By default it is set to 30/06/2017, or you can remove the reminder completely by:
    void CMainFrame::CheckVersionTime()
    {
    return;
    }

    So, is there anybody out there who can leave a patched exe here for us poor souls who have neither sources nor compiler?

    Let's wait for Sylvie, since I cannot compile it neither.

    Many many thanks for this update. I hadn't been able to compile it.

    What was the problem trying to compile it?

    Oh dear! I'm sure it must be a mistake, but before I go ahead and use this I would like some sort of comment please. Bitdefender reports both the support programs as containing a trojan!
