Like any software you use, when the trial period is other so is the functionality of it.

Didn't you get a MCE disk from Dell?, if not how did you install MCE without the disk? Is there a sticker on the tower?

Phone dell mate, and explain to them

There are other ways around it but it's best to be legit because MS are clamping down
