shareware

Software distributed free via the Internet or on disks given away with magazines. Users have the opportunity to test its functionality and ability to meet their requirements before paying a small registration fee directly to the author. This may bring additional functionality, documentation, and occasional upgrades. Shareware is not copyright-free. In the 1980s and early 1990s, many shareware libraries existed, but shareware has since fallen in popularity. Compare with public-domain software.
