Hi,
did you try an open source solution? e.g. FreeOCR

According to your second question, I assume you are talking about reusing the trial version (again and again): I have no idea how to reinstall trial software. In the past, I also tried to reinstall stuff by cleaning the registry etc. but it never worked for me. So, don't waste your time. The only thing which works without reinstalling your operating system is to use virtualization, e.g. with VirtualBox. You can create a snapshot from the virtualized Windows after installing all updates etc. and just before installing your desired software. After the trial period, you can start again from the snap shot and install again and again.
