Now, as a computer user, i believe that you surely know about winrar, so there will be no intro or explanation about it, straight into the topic !
Winrar gives the users a free trial of 40 days, and as per their rules and guidlines, if you don't buy the software after those 40 days, you will have to either buy the software or delete it from the computer, also after the trial, you'll start getting this windows pop-up whenever you open a rar file :
also, if a user doesn't agree with the rules and guidlines, then he's using the software illegaly, right? the answer is NO, why ? because the founders are allowing that, and that's all only on papers 
now, since that's not a big deal, almost nobody buys it since closing that windows isn't hard at all LOL.
The annoying pop-up removal (i bet you knew this)
As winrar being available for everyone, it makes it the most used software in the world, which means better opportunities for the company, and also it's being bought by a lot of companies around the world, which made the software's company survive since 1995, the company also helped fighting software piracy by doing so!
