Playing computer games can be great fun.
Playing a demo of a PC game is a great way to get a feel for the game so that you can better make the decision of whether you want to buy the entire game or not. The demo for a PC game is often also put out in advance of the game itself, making it the only available way to play the game. So when the game comes out, or you decide you like the demo and want to buy the game, it's often more convenient to turn a demo in to a fully licensed game rather than reinstall the full game.
Instructions
1. Find the registration form. Most demos of games will point this form out with a prompt when you open or close the game but on some games you may have to look for it. Check at the main menu screen for anything that refers to purchasing the full game or registering your product. If there are drop down menus at the top of the screen, check there too. Often if there's a help menu you can find the payment or registration form there.
2. Pay for your game. You will almost always have to pay to upgrade the demo of a game to the full version. Occasionally you'll find a software developer who just wants a bit of information about who is using his game, but typically, full games cost money.
3. Download additional game information. Often the demo of a game will give you access to only to a small part of a game and upon purchasing or registering for the full game you will have to download or otherwise acquire the rest of the game.
4. Restart the game. Upon purchasing the game or downloading additional game information you will likely be prompted to restart the game. If you're not prompted to do this, there's no harm in trying the game out but if you find you're still playing the demo, usually all that's needed is for you to restart the game.
