Why Trial Versions Don't Work
By sjschmidt93 17 Comments
Okay so usually I watch all my online videos on my TV shows on the internet through my laptop through HDMI. But my laptop has been "stolen" (not literally) by my brother so I have to find another watch TV shows streaming from the internet on my TV. So I discovered PlayOn, so now I stream it all to the PS3. I downloaded the trial version. 14 days have gone by, so I uninstalled it and downloaded it from another source (CNET this time, before was MediaMall's site) and, boom! I get another 14 days free. And when this runs out and can either A) Find yet another place to download it from or B) Just download to my other computer.
So assume I can't find another source thas has a PlayOn trial version. I still get 56 days free. 28 days for each computer.
Assuming I can find another place to d/l it, that adds another 28 days of free PlayOn. A total of 84 free days.
Example B:
I downloaded the AudioSurf demo long long ago and never bought the full edition. I later figured out you could just clear the cache of it inside of Steam and it'll reset the demo... another 4 songs. Play 4 more songs, exit, clear cache, play 4 more songs, save $10.
That's is why trial versions don't work. Demos work, but trial editions do not.
