Open the software. You will see a timer in the top right. Every 20 minutes, the audio will fade out. Simply restart Virtual DJ to get another 20 minutes. To remove the timer, you need a Pro license (paid).
If you just want to mix MP3s at home and don't have a specific hardware requirement, I highly recommend downloading the modern VirtualDJ 2024. It is free, works perfectly on Windows 10/11, and supports modern controllers.
Only hunt down VirtualDJ 7 if you have an ancient PC that cannot handle modern graphics or a specific older controller that you know for a fact works with VDJ7 but not the new version.
Finding a safe download for Virtual DJ 7 is a bit like digital archaeology since the official developers (Atomix) have moved on to newer versions.

If you are downloading a "Pro" cracked version? No, that is piracy.
However, the Home Edition of VDJ 7 is effectively abandonware. Atomix no longer enforces the 20-minute time limit on that specific build because they cannot be bothered to update the license servers for a 15-year-old product.
Most users report that the old "Home Free" installer, when run today, simply works indefinitely because the activation servers no longer check the time restriction for legacy versions.
VirtualDJ 7 holds a special place in DJ history as a stable, workhorse platform for beginners and pros alike. If you are running an older laptop or using legacy hardware, it is an excellent choice. However, prioritize safety by downloading only from trusted sources and avoid "cracked" files to keep your system secure.
