What is shareware?

The term "Shareware" denotes special software marketing that can be characterized as "Try before buy".

One of many definitions of 'Shareware':

Copyrighted software available for downloading on a free, limited trial basis; if you decide to use the software, you're expected to register and pay a small fee. By doing this, you become eligible for assistance and updates from the author.

Let's summarize the steps you are expected to do:
Read the product description, download, install and test. Only then — if you like the product — go for purchase.

What does it mean a trial version?

The standard way of selling programs is that the user gets a version of the program for testing.

Based on whether the user is satisfied, he can eventually decide for the purchase of the full version.

Resco products offer 2-week trial version that is identical with the full version except it is time-limited.

My trial period elapsed, but I did not have time to do the testing.

We do not have any utility that would "restart the trial". But there might be a solution.

Check, please, if there exist a newer version than the one you currently use.

  • If yes, then install it and you get some extra days for testing.
  • If not, send us an email. We might be able to provide at least a beta version for the next release. (Which is usually better than the current one.)
