Free software trials. Love them or hate them? Free software trials suggest to me that I will be able to have a play around and get a feel for the software, before I commit to a full user experience. But in the back of my mind, I always have that saying “you don’t get anything for free.” There is a lot of truth in that when it comes to software trials. Yes, the idea of…
