Dear all,
We are kindly inviting you to participate in an experiment related with free trial software (FTS). As a part of my PhD thesis, this experiment seeks to collect data and feedbacks about your usage experience towards the specific FTS. We will provide you a FTS to test during certain time period (ranging from 10 to 30 days). The software is a non-commercial photo editing software purely developed for this experiment.
To give you a brief background, free trial software (FTS) is the trial version of commercial software offered to potential buyers for free. Before purchasing the full, unrestricted version of software, consumers can try it out for a limited time or limited functions, or both without being charged. In most FTS cases, the software will expire after the trial period ends and cannot be used unless one purchases the commercial version.
Your response in this experiment will be very important for us to conduct further research on the FTS. We highly appreciate your participation and guarantee your answers and information will be kept only for research purposes. We also promise this is non-commercial research and the software is not related with any profit-oriented organization to aim for sale.
Please access the URL link below to start. You are required to read the instructions in order carefully before you proceed to the next stage. If you have any question, please approach the experiment coordinator to clarify it.
