What is Shareware?
Shareware is a method for marketing software which allows the customer
to try the software before buying it. It is also referred to as
try-before-you-buy software, trialware, or evaluation
software.
Generally, the user is granted an evaluation license to freely try the
software for a specified length of time and/or number of uses. After the
evaluation period ends, the user can choose to either purchase a full
license or remove the software from their computer.
Shareware marketing has boomed with the growth of the Internet, which
has diminished barriers to software distribution for small software
companies. Evaluation versions of software can be downloaded from
numerous Internet sites.
