- │░░│ Definition of Shareware │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
- it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected
- to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request
- registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period.
- With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using
- the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
- software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it' s commercial or
- Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
- can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low
- also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use
- the product, you don't pay for it.
