Abstract

The present invention is a computer network-based method for allowing prospective users to test software programs. The method provides for a potential user of software programs to request a test session from a test software server. The test software server resides on a server computer maintained by the software vendor or third-party. The test software server causes the selected software package to be executed. The test software server checks to ensure that the potential user has the appropriate test software client. The test software client resides on the potential user's local computer. A network connection is established between the test software server computer and test software client computer. The test software server gets the output of the tests software session, filters and eliminates any output not associated with that test software session, encodes the output for network transmission, and passes the encoded output to the test software client.
