Trial version of software

Does anybody know how a trial version of software still
knows you've used up it's trial period, even after
uninstalling it?

For example, if I've installed some program that has a 30
day trial period, after the trial period, it asks for me to
pay for it to continue using it. even if i uninstall it,
and install a fresh copy, how does it still remember that my
trial period is up?

Does it hide something in my registry or something? i don't
like that much. hidden files on my machine.

anybody know?

i found it.
this particular program puts an info file in the Windows
folder.
so i guess there's a variety of places for these kinds of
things.

RegSeeker is freeware and awesome, this soft fixed
incorrect entries and unsuitable routes in the registry and
uninstalled soft also, eliminate all type of crap in the
registry.
