WND Terminal Free is a personal license for one person on their own computer. It’s the same WND Terminal for Windows, Mac and Linux, with 3270, 5250 and UNIX sessions, macros, file transfer, Modern view, and Explain and Ask WND with your own AI service. It runs four sessions at once. It doesn’t run on computers an organization manages, or in WND Terminal in a browser.

Questions about WND Terminal Free
Is WND Terminal Free a trial?
No. It’s a personal license for one person on their own computer. It runs 90 days, and the same page renews it for another 90.
Can I use it on my work computer?
Not on a computer your organization manages. WND Terminal opens there, says so, and offers a trial for your team. A trial or company license on that computer is used instead.
Does it contact WND Software to check the license?
No. The app never contacts WND Software to check it, so it works on a closed network too.
Does it include Ask WND and Explain this screen?
Yes, with your own AI service, such as Ollama on your computer.
