Trials / Freemiums / Shareware / Lite / Feature-limited

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemium

Ways in which the product or service may be restricted in the free version include:[10]

  • Feature limited (e.g. a "lite" version of software, such as not including features like three-way video calling)
  • Capacity limited (e.g. SQL Server Express, which is restricted to databases of 10GB or less)
  • Seat limited (e.g. only usable on one computer rather than across a network)
  • Customer class limited (e.g. only usable by educational users; most Autodesk software with full features is free for students)
  • Effort limited (e.g. Temple Run, in which all or most features are available for free, but require extended unlocking or slowly obtained in-game currency which can be accelerated or purchased for a fee)
  • Support limited (e.g. users of a "lite" version do not receive telephone and/or email support)
  • Time or bandwidth limited
  • Storage Space Limited (e.g. free initial Storage of a Cloud storage provider, additional storage on a subscription model thereafter)
