What is the difference between a trial version and freeware?
While a trial version is a version of the programme for potential customers to try out, which cannot be used for free after a certain period of time, freeware is software that you can download and use for free. In most cases, the range of functions of freeware programmes is smaller than that of paid software or the operation is less convenient. Nevertheless, in many cases there is useful freeware that is interesting for many users as long as only low requirements are placed on a programme.
What is open source software?
Besides freeware, there is also open source software. While a freeware programme is just free software, with open source software the programming of the software – i.e. how it is built – is also freely available. In the case of open-source programmes, every knowledgeable user has the possibility of modifying the programme according to his or her own requirements.
