In 1993 the world was introduced to Roshal Archive, or RAR – a proprietary archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery and file spanning. It was developed by Russian software engineer, Eugene Lazarevich Roshal, but the copyright for the file format is held by his brother Alexander.
Two years later, we got WinRAR – a file archiver utility for Windows, which would be used to create and view archives in RAR or ZIP file formats, and also unpack a whole bunch of other archive file formats.
WinRAR is distributed as a ”try before you buy” software. According to the terms of use, you can use it for free during a 40 day trial period, after which you are required to buy a license.
However, if you ever used WinRAR, you know that you can continue using it for free even after the 40 day trial period ends.

AuthorThanks CHM Tech for explaining our business model in such an amusing and educational way! And of course thanks for purchasing the only license we ever sold, we are still celebrating it 😉
John Roscoe
AuthorI have to hand it to them. That's a great business model, and dare I say one of the most "fair" there is. The big businesses will buy licenses because they have to maintain certain legalities; the home user would most likely never run in to a situation where not buying the license is noticed by or given any importance from any regulatory agency, so it would be asinine to put a hard stop once day 40 is over. So really, everyone wins. The businesses can afford numerous licenses, the devs make their profit and the private home user still gets to benefit. That seems pretty cool to me.

MugenYomi
AuthorIf you only use WinRar through the right click options, then you will never see the buy reminder (I had used it for years, and had completely forgotten it wasn't actually FreeWare; now use 7Zip, but it is an interesting way of getting around the pop up window)

palopatrol
AuthorWhile this seems like they are just letting people have their software for free, when you think of it another way, this is free software that’s constantly pushing you to upgrade to the better version, and people who wouldn’t know better would purchase it not knowing they don’t need it.
Molotov!
Author7-zip is totally free and was made by russian dude.
