Answer:

Shareware

Shareware is copyrighted computer software that is developed and made available to individual end users for free on a trial basis.

Explanation:

Shareware is commercial software that is distributed free to users, eventually either requiring or encouraging users to pay for the continued support of the software.

You might see shareware in formats that paywall advanced features or offer the full package for a limited time. Some software might even be fully functional and backed solely by voluntary donations.

It was first introduced in the early 1980s, with its popularity rising in the 1990s as personal computing moved into the mainstream in both offices and homes.

The format allows software developers to get their products into the hands of potential users for a test run, in hopes that they decide to purchase the fully functional version of the program.

Shareware is also popular with gamers, as it gives them a chance to try a new game on a limited basis before purchasing the full version.

Like other types of software, shareware is not necessarily a bad thing to avoid at all costs. Many shareware products are legitimate. But even legitimate products can have weaknesses.
