SHAREWARE, FREEWARE AND ADWARE?

SHAREWARE

SHAREWARE (TRY BEFORE YOU BUY) IS A MARKETING METHOD, NOT A TYPE OF SOFTWARE. UNLIKE SOFTWARE MARKETED THROUGH NORMAL RETAIL CHANNELS, WHERE YOU ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR THE PRODUCT BEFORE YOU HAVE EVEN SEEN IT, THE SHAREWARE MARKETING METHOD LETS YOU TRY PROGRAM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE YOU BUY IT. SINCE YOU HAVE TRIED A SHAREWARE PROGRAM, YOU KNOW WHETHER IT WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS BEFORE YOU PAY FOR IT. SHAREWARE PROGRAMS ARE JUST LIKE PROGRAMS YOU FIND IN MAJOR STORES, CATALOGS, AND OTHER PLACES WHERE PEOPLE PURCHASE SOFTWARE, EXCEPT YOU GET TO USE THEM, ON YOUR OWN COMPUTER, BEFORE PAYING FOR THEM. WHAT IF I LIKE A SHAREWARE PROGRAM? YOU PAY FOR IT AT THE END OF A TRIAL PERIOD (TYPICALLY 30 DAYS) BY SENDING THE AUTHOR A FEE HE OR SHE HAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE PROGRAM.

FREEWARE

FREEWARE PROGRAMS ARE EITHER DISTRIBUTED FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY, FOR FAME, OR AS STRIPPED DOWN VERSIONS OF PROGRAMS THAT DO COST MONEY. REMARKABLY, SOME OF THE VERY BEST PROGRAMS FOR USING THE INTERNET ARE COMPLETELY FREE. MOST FREEWARE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT COMMERCIALLY SOLD, IS COPYRIGHTED BY THE AUTHOR. ALWAYS CHECK THE LICENSE AGREEMENT IF YOU CONSIDER USING THE APPLICATION FOR ANYTHING THAN YOUR PERSONAL USE.

ADWARE

ADVERTISING SUPPORTED SOFTWARE (ADWARE) IS A PRODUCT THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND IN EXCHANGE DISPLAYS ADVERTISING BANNERS WITHIN THE SOFTWARE INTERFACE. INSTEAD OF YOU HAVING TO PAY FOR THE SOFTWARE, THE COMPANY CREATES REVENUE BY SELLING ADVERTISING SPACE IN THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT. MOST OF THE TIME, IF YOU PREFER A "NON ADVERTISED" PRODUCT, YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE A VERSION THAT DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY BANNERS. HOWEVER, YOU ARE FREE TO USE THE ADVERTISING SUPPORTED VERSION AT NO CHARGE FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIKE. USUALLY, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE FREE PRODUCTS INVOLVES TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF THAT IS USED TO TARGET CONTENT AND MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS ON BEHALF OF PAYING ADVERTISERS.
