The reason for that is that once you have the registered software on your computer or device, there's no way to assure that it's off your device once the refund is issued. Thus the reason for trial versions of software :).

Yep. Trick is to research before you purchase ! Having said that I frequently ignore my own rules, and have ended up with some programs that don't suit "me" so have wasted my money. But- have some great programs that I use all the time and could not do with out.
Sometimes a program that you bought and paid for and seems not suitable now can full fill a future need- ( and then again maybe not!!) but at the end of the day its not like you just bought the wrong house or something.
