Hello Amanda,

Abandoned software is the one for which no product support is available and the manufacture is neglecting the product and are no longer available for legal purchase neither they lie in public domain.

So legally you cannot download abandoned software over an internet.

Thanks

Hi there!,

I have read your question, and I have  found some leads with your concern.

Anyways, Abandonware (Abandoned software) is really not discontinued, it is just ignored by the manufacturer.

You can check some examples or even download Abandoned software on the internet or you can also check out

Vetusware ​DOS-related books on Amazon

And More free abandoned software

Hope it would be helpful.

Thanks.
