If they gave a refund that's above and beyond the call of duty.. but they have absolutely no legal, moral, ethical or other reason to do it, simply because someone changed their mind after buying it, or chose not to try it on first.
Otherwise people could simply buy the software, recieve an unlock key, say they don't like it and demand a refund. They'd be out of business in a week

This is true. Once someone has a valid registration key, there is nothing to keep them from continuing to use the software after they have received a refund other than their own honesty. Sadly, I don't think that most people are that honest. Trial versions protect software developers from this but also means you will not get your money back in most cases. Chalk it up to caveat emptor.
