I downloaded and installed a "(Trial to Full)" game and its title has "- Trial". Will the game expire after some time and I won't be able to play it? If so, how can it be known how long it will last?

cant talk in details about piracy, but if you installed something and it is saying trial on the xmb, load the game at least once to activate and the game title will reflect that when you quit the game. The xmb is not updated immediately unless you are addind content.

I just found out this game title also has "- Trial" if downloading and installing the game from the PSN (I also bought it), which is odd. This didn't happen with other games I downloaded and installed from there (that I also bought).

Also, after loading the game and returning to XMB, its title remains the same (it still has "- Trial").

EDIT: I found an Unlock Key (in PKG format) and after downloading and installing it, loading the game and returning to XMB, "- Trial" no longer appears on its title. I don't get why I have to load the game and return to XMB after installing the Unlock Key since the XMB is updated after adding content. If I install the Unlock Key first and then the game, I don't even have to load the latter and return to XMB for "- Trial" to not appear on its title since the latter won't appear.

EDIT 2: I found a download regarding the game on my "Download List" which must be the Unlock Key since after downloading and installing it and then downloading and installing the game, "- Trial" doesn't appear on its title (I don't even have to load the game and return to XMB for it to not appear, unlike if I install the game itself first, like I said). It seems I was forgetting to download and install the former (the Unlock Key). I guess when buying this game on the PS Store both downloads are made and installed and so its title doesn't have "- Trial". If downloading and installing this game from the "Download List", both downloads regarding it must be made.
