We really appreciate your feedback about PasswordVault Lite, and I hope the following information clarifies our thinking on the Lite Edition.
The distinction between freeware and shareware is sometimes unclear. In our view, shareware often means you can try it out for 30 days (or similar), whereupon some key functions are disabled or crippled. Alternatively, the Shareware version may have something missing (eg. the Shareware version of Doom only included the first third of the game). The Lite Edition of PasswordVault is not restricted in this way - the auto-distribution function is actually a Pro Edition feature (generally needed by enterprise users, not individual users) and the 30 day trial of this feature gives all users the opportunity to test this feature if they wish to. BTW, the commercial Std Edition includes a 30 day trial of this feature too.
Lite Edition users may never need to crossgrade to the Std or Pro Editions (15 services is enough for many users), so for them PasswordVault is free. In addition, it's made very clear in the primary product title that it's the 'Lite' edition - you are obviously getting a 'Lite' edition when you download this product.
Spyware is generally hidden in products which are represented as full versions so companies can make money dishonestly - we don't do that. There is no spyware or any other malware in PasswordVault at all, nor will there ever be.

This policy of limiting an application very greatly by capacity until one purchases a licence is completely in line with the normal marketing practices of shareware. I agree that this application cannot claim to be freeware, but is in fact shareware. There is no need to damage the application's potential success by having it mis-marketed in this manner. I would get this changed as soon as possible.

I admit the user interface is pretty lousy and there are limited fields for data entry, but the syncing and cross platform features have made this my go-to software for storing data that I might need at anytime and anywhere.
