    Partially true...

    Original SB from Ronen Tzur and then Sophos yes.
    Since splitting into to Branches (Classic and Plus), both versions are not free.

    Classic is nagware and from time to time it remembers the user with countdown dialog that you have to get a supporter certificate.
    With Plus you get "special" features.

    Yeah, 1000€ for a Lifetime cert is absolutely ridiculous².

    It's unfortunate that Sandboxie has come full circle once again with its licensing stuff - albeit understandable, considering all the effort. But I do dread that it only needs a few more controversial changes to make people want to fork the project, or even create "cracks" for it. For example, when the program shows there is multiple sandbox types, but suddenly it says it's a supporter feature only, that leaves a sour taste in one's mouth. I expect it will be three years before something else happens that shakes up the community.

    I mean I get it, but make the prices a lot more reasonable. Do a modified subscription of 5 USD a year or something where you can still use the software without expiring updates

    I want to use a sandbox with my Win7 64, preferably neither Microsoft nor Mozilla nor Google.
    The only thread I found is from.... 2009.

    Thank you

    Yes, I use Sandboxie myself on my Win 7 home server. Super handy for certain things.

    After I was told that it still exists and works just fine, I re-installed it...
