About Us


Bambuka Shareware provides software for free use or trial. Some of the software you see here will be free - you can download it and not think about ever paying for it. Some of the free software is supported only by an author, some by ads, and others by donations.

Some software is designed for trial use. Sometimes an author will provide a free basic version of their software. So will want to purchase a more feature rich version from them lately. Similarly, some software comes with some features disabled until you purchase it. Some software will only work for a limited period of time (for example a certain number of days or a set count of uses).

When trial completed it will fail to work until you purchase it.

Shareware is software that is distributed on a trial basis with the understanding by the users of the software, that there may be a small charge by the author to continue to use it. Most Shareware is delivered free of charge by downloading it from the Internet, either from the authors Website or from a software download site. By registering the software and paying the small fee, you become registered with the author and you can receive technical support and updates of the software when they become available.

Freeware unlike Trial Software, is software that is completely free for anyone to use or pass along to other to use. The difference between Freeware and Trial Software is that Freeware is just that - Free. You never have to pay to use Freeware and can pass it along for others to use too free of charge. This is a huge advantage for using Freeware.
