Reactive iWork’09 when trial ends

Image you have a document that’s needed to be process immediately, but the evaluation copy of iWork(Numbers, Keynote, Pages) ends the trial period and you don’t have access to internet. That means, you are not able to download other free document processing software like NeoOffice nor you can pay online and activate iWork.
Apple iWork '09
The good thing is that, you can actually reactive it for extending trial period. When you are notified that your trial period ends, just open your finder and look for the file com.apple.iWork09.plist (It’s under “/YOUR HARD DRIVE/Library/Preference”), what you need to do is to delete this file and restart your iWork. You should be able to see that your iWork’s “new” trail period just starts again.
WARNING: This post is not suggesting you to avoid paying for the use of iWork; it’s just a work-around that you could do when you are really in a hurry of something but your trial ends. I strongly suggest you, the users of iWork, buy a copy from Apple before this embarrassing moment happen, but of course, if you haven’t heard of or used iWork before, you can download a trial first; it’s a great document processing software indeed.
