Well what exactly are you trying to do?

The shortcuts run different mod folders, or demos if you like. E.g. starter.fps etc, that's probably the one you want to start using and learn from.

The demo is the same as the engine that you bought, it just doesn't contain any source code. Run the starter.fps mod and hit F10 to raise the GUI editor and F11 to raise the mission editor.

You will need a lot of skills to make a game, from programming to art production and design and about 100 others I can't be bothered listing. Start small and slowly and ease your way into it.

Well you can't actually publish nor release anything with the demo and you definitely can't sell any works.

The licensed version gives you the source code as well as the right to publish, distribute and make money - you can read the license agreement for full details.

Judging from your character, yeah I think you just wasted your money. If I were you I would email Garage Games a polite email requesting a refund.
