Nagware window preventing my setup

I'm trying to set up an old Mac Mini with a new keyboard and mouse. I have logged in ok with the wired keyboard, but a window has popped up from an app that was on trial, wanting me to buy a license or quit. I can't do either as the wireless mouse isn't paired, but the window is obscuring the system preferences window so I can't pair the mouse using the keyboard. Is there any way to close this window without buying a wired mouse just for this one little click?

I can't even be sure it's Mavericks this thing is running because this nagware windowis over the About This Mac window as well.

Mac mini 2018 or later

See if you can use the KB to force quit the app producing the 'nagware'. Use the KB combination Option/Command/Esc to bring up the Force Quit Applications box and then the arrow to go up or down the list, then Enter to select.
