I have tried various methods but none of them working. Previously it just used to show the dialog but now it is exiting.

I think it's available for Android only. Are you using emulator?

Do you have a serial number that you have purchased?

Nothing will beat IDM download ease and speed. Moving over to other downloaders will be hard but you will get used to it.

to remove that message, you first need to uninstall it and then remove all entries from registry (dangerous part so do it only if you know it or can take a risk of the system going kaput requiring reinstall)

You get this message when you install pirated version of IDM as it constantly checks the license key daily. Once IDM server detects it the user gets the above message. Your best option is to Buy it or use other FREE alternatives.

Or You can group buy from IDM as they give heavy discount and LifeTime License for 10+ users :)

We bought the group license long time back and it still works Today :D

Refer this : How to buy genuine IDM in India at cheapest price? (internet download maanger)

But the group buy thread page no longer exists.

Don't bother about searching for another pirated IDM on google. It will never work. After 2 days you will again get the same error message

In a legit way go by all of the above suggestions or if you only like the way by which you got IDM in the first place just don't download any random torrent. There are forums for such softwares which have torrents with private trackers and is free from such nag screen :D
