Your installation details such as date, no of usages, product keys etc are stored secreatly in an encrypted format. If that is stored in cookies or registry anyone can get into and manipulate it and make it a licensed version. Hence they r not kept in a easily accessable place.
These details are checked and updated accordingly by the program each time it starts. Depending upon the details it gets it decides ur programs validity period.

Program installation process often access your computer's system registry where it stores the installation date of the program. Sometimes the installation also stores this date in an another file as a redundancy. When you open a trial program, the program will check your system registry to make sure that your program is still within the trial period.
