Regular versions of things have everything there is with it. Trial versions expire within 30 or 15 days, 5 times of use, 1 hour... etc. And they also don't include everything that's in the product.
Ex: Say that you have a video file converter. And you only had a trial. You wanted to convert it to GIF. Most trial versions of video converters only convert HALF of the file, and put HUGE letters over the image.. such as the company name.

Trial versions might not have all the features of the regular version. Trial versions commonly "expire" after a set number of days to encourage you to buy the regular version.

Trial versions don't have all the features as the full version.
Also, some trial versions expire after a certain period of time.
If you're planning to use any program more than once, you should purchase the full version.

There are general two types of trial version. Those that offer limited functionality just as the inability to print or restricted file sizes and there are those that don't offer any restrictions but have a built in period for evaluation and once that is up you are prevented from using the program any further without a serial code/product key.

Usually a trial version is when you are allowed to use a program or something for a limited time and then have to pay to continue using it.
