Microsoft may make some doozies of mistakes, but they're not so stupid as to miss that obvious dodge of their 30-day trial.

Installing a trial for 30 days means just that. 30 days. You cannot uninstall it and then try it again for another 30 days.
About the only way is to turn back your computer clock to a month of 2 previous but then you run into problems with programs or patches or updates because the date is wrong.

On the product registration page there is a phone number that you can call for registration problems. The folks there can help you with obtaining a new Windows KEY.

You will have to call microsoft tech support and explain what happened, they'll sort it out for you. There's no other way.
