Well, Willian, in the end, I am using audacity (which is free anyway), because I figured how to open the files with it, and this way I can also edit the sounds when I'm running Linux (main reason I gave up Goldwave is that it is windows only).
PS.: I think you should pay the 50 bucks if you wants to keep Goldwave, After all, you tried and liked it, that's what trials are for. Nonetheless, Uninstalling and re-installing would only work to skip the end of trial if you mess on the notes left at the windows register file (as the trial is about functions performed, not period of usage, simply altering computer's clock probably won't work anyway).
Hey, PhlegMak, is there any significant advantage from Goldwave to Audacity that should make me reconsider this decision (this might help Willian's decision too).

I couldn't say. I haven't used Audacity enough to make a comparison between the two in any meaningful way.
I personally did buy Goldwave and I'm satisfied with it. I bought it years ago. It's missing some features I would really like but I can't find any other sound editor that's better at the moment (I can't remember the spcific features I wanted off the top of my head).
Unfortunately for me, I can't get Audacity working right in Mandriva Linux (Free 2006 version).
By the way, for extremely simple sound file editing, I recommend either XnView or Irfanview (both for windows and both free).
EDIT: By the way, the older version of GoldWave would simply allow you to stop and restart Goldwave and you could continue using it. I'm not referring to uninstallation and reinstallation at all.
