Just thought I'd point out an issue with the PerformanceTest software which you may or may not be bothered about, if this software is installed on a virtual machine (well a VMware ESX virtual machine anyway) and the machine gets restarted while the software is in trial mode the software won't restart as it thinks the clock has been messed with.
Of course the clock has been messed with, when a VM stops it does exactly that, stops, as does all the "hardware" the host was presenting to the OS, so when it restarts it asks it's host what the time is which it then passes to whatever OS is running. When a machine on physical hardware stops it's clock does not so this is not needed.
Annoying indeed.
