What is Shareware?

Shareware distribution gives you, the user, a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are required to register it.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's retail or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee—if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
