Universal apps are one of the main parts of Windows 10 operating system. And if you’re unable to use them, the system functionality and usability will drastically decrease. This time, a couple of users reported that they’re unable to use their paid Windows 10 Universal apps, as the error saying “your trial period for this app has expired” appears, even though they regularly purchased the app. So, we’re going to try to solve this problem for them, and for all other users encountering this problem.

How to Deal with “Your Trial Period for This App Has Expired”

When I heard about this issue first, I thought it was asked by some ignorant people who don’t know they must buy a full version of the app, but when I saw that they already purchased the license, I knew the problem is more serious. So, I wandered around the internet, and found a few solutions.

Solution 1 – Restart Windows 10 Universal Apps

I was skeptical about this solution, just like I was skeptical about the issue itself, because it’s the most common, and most cliché solution for solving problems with Windows 10 app, which isn’t helpful at all in most cases. But, a lot of users actually reported that this helped them to solve the problem, so I’m going to mention it in the article. Here’s exactly what you need to do:

• Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}

Go and check your problematic apps now, the problem with trial license should be solved. However, if this didn’t help, check out the next solution.

Bonus: If you’re not sure how to turn on your Firewall, do the following:

Under Startup Type dropdown -> Select Automatic. Click Apply

Solution 2 – Change License Period

Back in preview days of Windows 10, users had a problem with Store License services, as the given licenses timed out too quickly. Microsoft provided a solution for this issue, and it solved the problem. So, as we’re encountering the similar problem, we can try this solution, too.

Here’s what you need to do:

echo off

net stop clipsvc

if “%1″==”” (
echo ==== BACKING UP LOCAL LICENSES
move %windir%serviceprofileslocalserviceappdatalocalmicrosoftclipsvctokens.dat %windir%serviceprofileslocalserviceappdatalocalmicrosoftclipsvctokens.bak
)

if “%1″==”recover” (
echo ==== RECOVERING LICENSES FROM BACKUP
copy %windir%serviceprofileslocalserviceappdatalocalmicrosoftclipsvctokens.bak %windir%serviceprofileslocalserviceappdatalocalmicrosoftclipsvctokens.dat
)

net start clipsvc

Once again, we didn’t test if it works on Windows 10, but we assume that it could be a proper solution, since it fixes the problem with license.

Solution 3 – Repair your apps

1. Go to Settings > Apps

2. Locate the problematic apps that are giving you this error > go to Advanced Settings > Reset them.

This solution is particularly useful if the error message occurred shortly after you installed the latest Windows 10 updates on your computer.

Solution 4 – Run SFC scan

Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

Here’s how to run an SFC scan:

2. Now type the sfc /scannow command

3. Wait for the scanning process to complete and then restart your computer. All corrupted files will be replaced on reboot.
