A: Not easily. The Mac version stores license data in Apple's Keychain and system protected files. Most reset tools only target Windows.
AdGuard is one of the best system-wide ad blockers available. However, the full “Premium” trial typically lasts only 14 days. Once it expires, you lose features like HTTPS filtering, Stealth Mode, and custom filter lists.
Many users ask: “Can I reset the trial to get full features again?”
The short answer: Yes, but it’s not as simple as reinstalling.
Below are the most effective methods for resetting the AdGuard trial on Windows and Android (root and non-root).
When you reinstall AdGuard normally, leftover registry keys and license files remain. The trial “remembers” your PC. To truly reset:
Open Registry Editor (regedit) and delete:
Use a trial reset tool (optional but recommended):
Tools like AdGuard Trial Reset (available on GitHub/forum sites) automate the above steps. Scan any downloaded tool with VirusTotal first.
Reinstall AdGuard from the official site.
Use a new email when starting the trial. If the same email is used, the server may reject it.
Why this works: AdGuard stores a unique machine ID in the registry. Deleting it forces the server to see your PC as a new device.
AdGuard is widely considered the gold standard for ad blocking and online privacy protection. Whether you are using their Windows app, macOS version, Android, or iOS software, the premium experience is miles ahead of the free version. However, once the 14-day (or 30-day, depending on the platform) trial period ends, users are often met with a frustrating pop-up: "Your trial has expired."
This leads thousands of users to search for a simple query every single day: "AdGuard reset trial full."
The promise is tempting: unlimited premium access with a simple reset script or command. But does it work? Is it safe? And what are the legal or technical consequences? In this long-form article, we will explore every corner of the "trial reset" ecosystem, provide answers based on reverse-engineering efforts, and suggest legitimate (and risk-free) alternatives.
