Domain restriction

Being a sysadmin, I love to test lots of shareware and freeware utils.
Sandboxie gives me a safe place to do so.
But with the coming of sandboxie 3.2 I noticed that the software isn't freeware anymore on domain computers.
That's a real shame, cause I have a domain at home, and I'm not ditching it just to use newer versions of Sandboxie.
So I'm sticking to version 3.02, until some other freeware comes along which has the same props.
I'm not sure where the 'domain' idea came from, but I've never seen it before with freeware, I think.
Maybe something to think about...

Actually, Sandboxie was never freeware in the first place. It's true that you could still use the program after 30 days, but it was and still is shareware. About the domain idea, all it is is another word for "commercial use" (which im sure you've heard of). I think it's just that Sandboxie has gone so long without a commercial licensing scheme, that now that Sandboxie has a "commercial (domain)" license, it's kinda overwhelming and/or confusing to everyone.

Btw, if im not mistaken, if you've already registered the program in the past, then you should be liable to "upgrade" to the domain license. But for all new licenses, well....

Read the homepage......

The Alternative

Sandboxie is free so you really don't have to look around for an alternative. If you find it makes your Web experience that much safer, you are encouraged to register the program for a small fee. However, if you still don't like or can't use Sandboxie for whatever reason, here are some alternatives.
Unquote

So now you say Sandboxie is not free but shareware ???

Read a comment from the main man himself (tzuk).....

tzuk wrote:you said there Sandboxie is freeware and that is misleading. Sandboxie is shareware. Just because it does not stop working if you don't register, does not mean this is not shareware.

So now you say Sandboxie is not shareware but free ???

Ask the main man tzuk to correct his homepage then to shareware !

But he never even says it's freeware in the first place on the homepage...
If anything he actually says (or implies) that it's shareware when he says (using your quote):

The main man tzuk also said before that phrase,

Sandboxie is free so you really don't have to look around for an alternative.

This is misleading, he should just state what he now thinks.

Sandboxie is shareware so you really don't have to look around for an alternative.

Makes sense ???

Here, let me use this example.
You're using Sandboxie right? You also probably haven't regged the program yet either, right? Ok, well do you notice how you've been able to use the program for free, even after the 30 days is up? Well then, tzuks statement about Sandboxie being free is correct.
At the same time, notice how you can't use some of the features (like multiple sandboxes), since you haven't regged the program? Well then, that also makes tzuks statement about Sandboxie being shareware correct since you do have to pay to get full functionality.

Actually Guest, you are asking for the extreme correctness in all parts of the wording with the site. But what you can not see for yourself is that you are confusing 'Free' with 'Freeware' which are not technically the same thing.

Exactly man! But anyways, who cares now. This thread has been taken way offtopic for no reason whatsoever, so lets quit it about this shareware/freeware debate! Back ontopic with the domain "restriction"....

Personally, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to prove whether or not a non-commercial domain is in fact set up. I really have not seen as many 'Domain' users anywhere as I've seen around here lately. How would it differentiate from let's say a company laptop that someone is using?

Oh the domain issue.

Looks like this is going to be the never ending story.

First of all, I am considering to relax this domain restriction somewhat in a future version, because I do actually want everybody to be able to at least try the software.

Just make it easy for the person who uses her domain office laptop for off hours surfing and want to use SB non-regg.

No, you need to clear your confusion between "free" and "shareware".
