They shouldn't be launched after the weekend ends. If you can do it without using any other tricks, it would be like taking advantage of a game without DRM, such as sending a paid installer to a friend.

It seems there might be some confusion about the timing of access. The details provided appear limited, making it unclear whether the situation involves any legal considerations.

Sorry for the simple question, but I’m not very familiar with DRMs or similar topics. Since it launched without exploits, would your situation be considered legal?

Review the EULA carefully; it likely states your access is limited to weekends. Whether you need to bypass it depends on whether the license terms allow it. Using the software beyond those rules is incorrect.

Your actions are fully compliant with the law. DRM prohibits reverse engineering specifically to bypass payment. Simply double-clicking an executable file isn't considered reverse engineering in the technical sense. It's possible to claim the game or program was identical and no unauthorized modifications were made to its source code or proprietary libraries.
