- Registry Keys: WinOLS writes encrypted timestamps to the Windows Registry (often in obscure keys related to the licensing DLL). Even if you uninstall the software, these keys often remain to prevent re-installation abuse.
- File Timestamps: The software scans its own installation folder. If it finds a log file or temporary file dated "in the future" (relative to the current system clock), it assumes the clock has been tampered with and locks the user out.
Sometimes, security software prevents WinOLS from reading its license file correctly. Open WinOLS → Help → License → Re-enter license key
