how can i use older versions of windowblinds ?

from Stardock Forums

so i'm trying to use a skin for my windows vista computer, however newer versions are not compatible on vista so i tried using windowblinds 6, but it keeps telling me that this version is expired and that i need to download the new one...which is weird since i ran the setup offline ?

so is there any way to use older versions of windowblinds or am i screwed ?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Where did you get Windowblinds 6 from? I don't have WB6 and any Windows Vista to test it, perhaps, someone might come along and give some tips on your question.

Thanks,

Do you have license key for WB v6?

Well, you can't use it anyway, since you don't have the key.

As for the WB6 file you downloaded, it might be incompatible. If I remember correctly, there were time where installer released with expiry timer and those were typically replaced with a newer version just before the timer expired—though I'm not sure which version those were. Usually there should be a version without any expiry timer in it.

Thank you,
