Yes you are right, there is somehting to do with registry values. But i think for every application there is different registry entry so it depends on application you are taking about (which application? ) .

Well there is many more ways to use the trial version of softwares again and again. Some applications have really low level expiry check, you need to just reinstall them. And reinstalling windows also makes the registry values null. And the best option is using the applications like Install Shield which tracks every change made by any program and can also revert it. I like the Norton for this purpose, but there are many more available.

I don't think so , there is any easy way other than formatting the system to reset the trail period of any program. If there would be any easy way don't you think everyone would be doing it and not actually buy the program.
