The term shareware, popularized by Bob Wallace, refers to proprietary software that is provided to users without payment on a trial basis and is often limited by any combination of functionality, availability or convenience. Shareware is often offered as a download from an Internet website or as a compact disc included with a periodical such as a newspaper or magazine. The aim of shareware is to give buyers the opportunity to use the program and judge its usefulness before purchasing a license for the full version of the software. Shareware is usually offered as a trial version with certain features only available after the license is purchased, or as a full version, but for a trial period. Once the trial period has passed the program may stop running until a license is purchased. Shareware is often offered without support, updates, or help menus, which only become available with the purchase of a license. The words "free trial" or "trial version" are indicative of shareware. The term shareware is used in contrast to retail software, which refers to commercial software available only with the purchase of a license which may not be copied for others, public domain software, which refers to software not copyright protected, and freeware, which refers to copyrighted software for which the author solicits no payment (though he or she may request donations).

From Google News Search: "Shareware" What is the difference between copyright, public domain, freeware and shareware software? Q. What is the legal and/or moral responsibility of using each? Asked by Laura M - Mon Mar 3 08:35:16 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Copyright is a set of rights granted to anyone who creates a "creative work". If something is released into the public domain, the copyright holder is effectively giving up those rights (or granting them to everyone in the world). Freeware is a description of a class of software licenses where the copyright holder allows you to use the software for free. Shareware is a description of a class of software licenses where the copyright holder allows you to use the software for free for a limited time, after which you have to pay for it.

Q. Is there any software (shareware or freeware) which will keep account of my broadband usage? If any body know pl. give me the site address.Its urgent.Thank U in advance. Asked by balachandra a - Wed Aug 29 02:20:38 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm not entirely sure of these, however, here are a few links you can check out and see if anything there is suitable for your needs. sorry I couldn't find anything better than this. What you ask (as shareware) is really hard to find. This is usually the sort of tool you would expect to find available for network technicians, and is usually quite expensive (ever notice that software for running businesses is usually too expensive for casual use by ordinary people?)... Hope there is a solution in the bunch somewhere. Also, check out C-Net for a ton of shareware programs.
