Why do I have to register WinZip?

WinZip is not free software. Subject to the terms of the WinZip End User License Agreement, you are licensed by Corel Corporation and WinZip Computing LLC (collectively "WinZip Computing" and/or "WinZip") to use for evaluation purposes only one (1) copy of WinZip, on one (1) computer or workstation, without charge, for a period of 45 days after you first install WinZip on any computer or workstation, during which period the features of the WinZip software will be accessible. If you want to use this software after the 45-day evaluation period, you must acquire from WinZip Computing for a fee a single-user license for WinZip. Refer to Ordering Information for information on license pricing and ordering options. Use of WinZip after the expiration of the 45-day evaluation period without acquiring such a license from WinZip Computing is outside the scope of the Evaluation License and a violation of U.S. and international copyright laws.
