Shareware: You try the program for a period of time if you like it than pay, may or may not have a expiration date.

Beta: A program that is being tested, if you try this program back up the files and systems. You may have to pay a fee for trying this beta. So beware of any promises by the vendor.

Freeware: Free that it.

Demo:You try the program for a period of time if you like it than pay,there is usually a 30 to 90 days period. Like shareware, but if it a game of something like that, it may have only 1 or 2 level's of play. Or if it a business program, you may or may not be able to save, print or access certain feature of the program.

* Final Warning - Note if the filename has a "zip" extention, it must be open with "Winzip" or "PKware" unzipping program. If it has "exe" extention, you can just double click on it to run the setup program. (In case you were not paying attention to the above) and remember save your files and backup.

Downloading

Downloading can be fun and a pain in the you know what! The files you download can be either a setup file or a zipped (compressed) data file. If they are "zipped" go to Winzip or Pkware, if you have Windows XP you will not needs these programs to unzip you files. Of course I prefer Winzip, because it ease of use.

Winzip
Pkware
Stuffit - (for you people who are Apple/Macintosh nuts).

Download Website

Here are some of my favorite website for either freeware, shareware, demo's. A freeware is usually a program free of charge at no cost. A shareware is program that you try for a while and if you like it you would pay for the program. A demo is a program with a limited time offer of usually 10 to 30 days, in which to try after it with no longer function. A demo is many time a full functioning program, all you have to do is pay for it and get the "serial or registration number from the website. Shareware you can keep for unlimited time and if you decided to keep it, you pay with no time limited. Of course most of time shareware are not as full function, when you pay for it. You with get all of the functions that go with the program.
