Install problem - purchased source code shows up as trial

I have an installation problem. I purchased the source code and have downloaded it and installed it several times but the warning of having x number of days remaining due to a trial version keeps showing up.

I have uninstalled prior versions and wiped clean my system and then reinstalled MyDac as instructed in the ReadMeSrc.txt file that accompanies the download setup. Still the warning exists.

I have checked with RegEdit my registry each time. I ensure that no reference to old copies of MyDac remain.

What is wrong here? I have 7 days left. Then what? MyDac won't work? I don't see how, I have the source code. I can't figure this out. There must be something ELSE I am not being told to do, such as some hidden registry key denoting a trial version having been installed at one time. Something not documented. I have done everything as told to do by Core Lab.

Anyone have a clue what I need to do?

Most possibly you have some files left from previous version of MyDAC on your hard drive. Try to uninstall MyDAC and remove all the files concerned to it. Then install MyDAC one more time.
To remove all vestiges of MyDAC, please follow these instructions:
  • 1) Uninstall MyDAC
    2) Search for MyAccess.*, DBAccess.*, mydac*.bpl, dac*.bpl etc files at your HDD and delete them
    3) Remove from the project directory all files made by compiler and linker
    4) Remove from the registry (for Delphi 7: "HKCU\Software\Borland\Delphi\7.0\Known Packages") all the links to MyDAC packages (mydac*.bpl, dac*.bpl)
    5) Run Delphi and check that it is started without errors
    6) Install MyDAC once more
