guiltware

In computing, variety of shareware software that attempts to make the user register (and pay for) the software by exploiting the user's sense of guilt.

On-screen messages are displayed, usually when the program is started, reminding users that they have an unregistered version of the program that they should pay for if they intend to continue using it. Some programs will also display the message at random intervals while the program is in use.
