I am glad you placed so many comments – it is helpful for us to hear such valuable feedback from shareware people.

For companies like Avangate or Plimus, it is a common thing to assist shareware developers to start their e-businesses.

Moreover, here at Avangate we offer LIVE technical support and free web marketing consultancy to help you start promoting your software over the Internet and have e-sales on your site. Our web marketing specialists write articles and help the shareware community to develop the e-business.

As for the Avangate demo account – what you’ve seen is just a toy to play for all developers willing to see our platform functionalities. Avangate has more powerful features that are not present in that generic demo account.
Feel free to drop me a line if you want to know more about it.

Good luck with your business !

Regards,
Laurentiu
