how does a program knwo it has already been installed once?

Basically i want to install the tryout version of a program, i installed it for a day, then deleted it, but i would like to reinstall it now. It refuses to install now and it says: "you can only install this tryout one time".

I still have 14 days of tryout time left...

Is it a key in the registry?

AlecStaar gets carried away with these things

 

its probably a reg key

try looking under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\program or company name

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\program or company name

and

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\program or company name

 

I run registry/filesystem monitors and loggers so i can always trace this kind of thing back (no system overhead because I only run them when I install something)
