Who does trial software work for?

This trial software of 15 or 30 days as it currently is engineered DOESN'T WORK!

(Oh here he goes)

I'd like trial software to sell me on a product. And so should Corel!

This is what actually happens...

Download have a play.

Have to deal with the stuff of life... 5 days.

Have another play, "oh this is looking interesting".

Have to deal with the stuff of life... 12 days.

"Crap, the trial has run out!"

I likely got 15 hours out of Corel CAD before the trail expired. That's nothing like enough to get even a basic handle on it and decide if it is useful.

And while the trials for everything else are 30 days, CGS gets only 15 days. Someone want to have a go at explaining why that is? "You lot in the naughty corner only get 15 days!"

Why can't we have a standard for this for all applications. FEELS LIKE "WE WILL SCREW THOSE DRAW USERS HARDER!" It can really feel like anything else.

Why not have X actual days of use. If you have opened the trial for more than 5 minutes, (less could be an accidental click), then the next 24 hours = 1 day.
