The correct answer is

shareware

Software that can be downloaded and used free of charge for a limited trial period, after which payment is required to continue using it, is called shareware.

Shareware is a distribution model in which users may 'try before they buy'; once the trial ends, continued use legally requires purchasing a licence, and features may be limited until payment.

Public domain software has no copyright restrictions and is free to use without any payment. Freeware is available at no cost for unlimited time, though the developer retains copyright. Open-source software provides free access to its source code, which users may modify and redistribute. None of these require payment after a trial, so the term for pay-after-trial software is shareware.

Correct answer: shareware
