You have 2 options:
1. You can download Paint Shop Pro 7 (PSP7) for FREE. This is not a trial version, this is the full version and it is now FREE. It includes Animation Shop.
***This used to be availabe at some sites, but it doesn't appear to be available anymore. I will continue to look, but don't hold your breath, lol***
Sometimes people offer to give away their earlier versions of PSP, i.e. PSP7 or PSP8, once they've bought the latest version PSP9.
You can keep your eye out for one of these offers. It may be free or they might charge a nominal fee for it. Note: There should only be one user for each registered copy of PSP.
2. You can download the latest version of PSP on a 90-day FREE trial basis. You can decide to buy this version at any point within the 90-day trial. You will be periodically notified about how many days remain in your trial period. After the 90-day trial is up, this copy will become inoperable. You will not be charged for it. No credit card information is taken for the trial version. To purchase PSP you must go to the website and order a copy.
PSP also comes with Animation Shop but the Animation Shop trial is only 30 days. You'll have your hands full with PSP so I recommend you download Animation Shop 30 days later than PSP.
NOTE: You have to download the trial versions of PSP and Animation Shop separately. The links are below.
