Since 1987, the ASP has been dedicated to the advancement of shareware, also known as try-before-you-buy software, as an alternative to conventional retail software. Today the ASP is a vibrant organization with hundreds of members around the world working together to improve their businesses and making it easier for computer users to find quality software at reasonable prices.
Our professional software association has over 1000 members, who produce some of the finest software available today. Our members‘ software can make your life more productive.
How often have you bought retail software, only to get it home and find out that a patch is needed or that it doesn‘t work with the latest operating system? This software may have been shrink-wrapped and sitting in a warehouse for months or years.
All too often, retail programs are purchased, installed, fail to work as advertised, and then sit on a shelf; that‘s how they became known as "shelfware". With try-before-you-buy software, you know in advance that the software is compatible with your system, your hardware, and your other programs, and will do what you need to do in a reasonable way.
When was the last time you called a shelfware company and got the chief programmer on the phone, who then sent you a fix or a new feature on the same day? In the world of shareware, it‘s not unusual at all. ASP members continually update their products, and the latest versions are easy to find on the internet.
