Why do I have to register WinZip?

WinZip is not free software. Subject to the terms of the WinZip Evaluation License, you are licensed by WinZip Computing, S.L. ("WinZip Computing") to use for evaluation purposes only one (1) copy of WinZip, on one (1) computer or workstation, without charge, for a period of 21 days after you first install WinZip on any computer or workstation. During the first 14 days of this period, all Pro features of WinZip will be accessible; after that, only the Standard features can be used. If you want to use this software after the 21-day evaluation period, you must acquire, for a fee, a WinZip license from WinZip Computing. Use the WinZip website for information about Standard and Pro license pricing. Use of WinZip after the expiration of the 21-day evaluation period without acquiring such a license from WinZip Computing is outside the scope of the Evaluation License and a violation of U.S. and international copyright laws.

How do I subscribe to WinZip?

You can use the WinZip website to subscribe to WinZip. You can select whether you want to subscribe to WinZip Pro or WinZip Standard.
