He's hinting that if you installed the program in a virtual machine, when you ran out of free uses, you could delete the virtual machine and create a new one, and then you'd have another set of free uses. Clearly it's a violation of the spirit, and probably the letter, of the software's EULA.
Since real free-license open source alternatives exist, however, I don't see why you'd bother with something like this, even if it didn't bother your conscience. Even if they're not as feature-rich, with the open source alternatives, you can help improve it for anyone. (And not just by coding yourself: bug reports and feature requests are help too!)
