Traditionally, the software or the content had to be downloaded by the End user. As the software is being installed on his / her computer by the End User, often some keygen are being used to unlock them.

  • Limited by the Capacity or the Features – Think of Free Cloud Storage and Free Apps offered by Google.
  • Pay as you go in various cloud computing services is not really a Freemium model, but significantly reduces the cost.
