nag screens
Upgrade reminder dialogs
Nag screens are prompts in software that repeatedly urge users to take some action—typically to register, upgrade to a paid version, or renew a subscription.
The term captures the persistent, annoying quality of these interruptions: The free version works fine, but the nag screens every time you save are unbearable.
Common in shareware and trial software.
