- ABOUT TRIALWARE
-
- Trialware is a not a type of software but a marketing technique
- where you, the user, have the opportunity to evaluate a software
- program before purchasing it. Trialware is copyrighted software.
-
- When you purchase a trialware disk you are paying for the disk
- only, not the software. Some people prefer to call trialware try-
- before-you-buy software. With trialware you get to test drive the
- software before you purchase it. You purchase the software by
- sending the registration fee directly to the author. This is the
- only way the author receives income from trialware.
-
- Trialware authors allow dealers to copy and distribute their
- software with few restrictions. You may look at it, use it, keep it
- or give it away, but if you continue to use it you must register
- the program. By registering, you acquire certain rights and
- benefits depending on the author. These include such things as the
- right to use the software, printed documentation, upgrades or
- upgrade notices, telephone or mail support and additional software.
-
- If you don't register/purchase the trialware you MUST remove it from
- your computer and discontinue use of any version of it. It is a
- violation of copyright laws to use software without purchasing it.
- After the trial period, trialware stops working.
