Package Software

 Packaged software is a collection of programs that perform similar functions or have

similar features.
 For example, Microsoft Office includes multiple applications such as Excel, Word, and 
PowerPoint. Video and audio editing software may also be available as packaged software,
used for editing music and video files used in a movie.
 Some programs included in packaged software may be available for purchase individually.
However, purchasing packaged software is often cheaper than purchasing each software
program separately.
Custom Software

 Customized software is software that is specially developed for some specific

organization or other user. As such, it can be contrasted with the use of software packages
developed for the mass market, such as commercial off-the-shelf software, or existing 
free software.
 It is also known as bespoke software or tailor-made software.
 Custom software development aims at a narrowly defined set of requirements.
Shareware Software

 Shareware is commercial software that is distributed free to users, eventually either

requiring or encouraging users to pay for the continued support of the software.
 The format allows software developers to get their products into the hands of potential
users for a test run, in hopes that they decide to purchase the fully functional version of the
program.
 For example; WinZip, Adobe Acrobat, Skype, Fireball, GetRight
Freeware

 Freeware is any copyrighted software, application or program that may be freely

downloaded, installed, used and shared. Such programs are available for use at no cost to
general end users.
 Generally, freeware is a concise and limited version of a larger and paid software program.
 For example; GIMP, Pixlr, Free studio.
Public Domain Software

 Public domain software is any software that has no legal, copyright or editing restrictions
associated with it. It is free and open-source software that can be publicly modified,
distributed or sold without any restrictions.
 For example; SQLite, I2P and CERN httpd are popular examples of public domain
software.
Open source software

 Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in

which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and 
distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose.
 For example; Linux, VLC media player.
Web Application

 A web application is application software that runs on a web browser, unlike software

programs that run locally and natively on the operating system (OS) of the device. Web
applications are delivered on the World Wide Web to users with an active network
connection.
 For example; online forms, g-mail, yahoo, spreadsheet, word processor.
Productivity Software

 Productivity Software is application software used for producing information such as 
documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, 
electronic music and digital video.

Commodore Plus/4 model of computer contained in ROM for applications of productivity
software.
