Advice Request Poll - Are software trial periods long enough?

[enaph]

I would say 14 days should be more than enough to test any software.

Depends on the software itself. Generally 30 days is more than enough to test it, but if you're unsure whether to buy it or not, then a slightly longer trial period would be preferred. Being able to activate a trial license more than once(atleast twice) would be ideal, especially if you switch software/hardware.

I am interested in how everyone will use the trial period. Do you actively test your defenses with virus samples, etc.?
I attach great importance to whether it really affects everyday use. Specifically, UI preference and extreme slowdown.

To test an AV. You don't need much time, I think 30 days would be enough, there are some that in minutes you realize that it doesn't suit you.

Although I have voted 60 days, because if you like it you do tests of all kinds.

I can usually make up my mind in under 14 days, as to none AV software I do feel imitations are the right thing even though I find limitations extremely annoying at times it is the thing that motivates me buying the software - Which I suppose is the purpose of making any product?

30 days is a sweet spot for all products.
