摘要：本文主要分为四个部分，第一部分介绍了免费软件的定义，目前国内外研究状况，国内外的发展状况，让读者对免费软件有个初步的了解。第二部分应用当今最流行的SWOT模式对免费软件分析目前免费面临的威胁，拥有的机会和优势。当前免费软件最大的优势在于它的巨大的用户基数，最大的劣势在于用户与利润之间转化率较低。第三部分，详细介绍了免费软件盈利的几种方法，如广告收入，会员制度，网络游戏业务，其他方式的增值业务，这几种形式也就构成了大部分免费软件的盈利点。第四部分就针对发现的问题提出一些应对的措施和方法，如提高客户的粘度；不断的完善自己的产品；实行多种盈利模式相结合；以原有核心业务为基础，不断拓展业务范围；与其他大企业进行深度合作，实施强强联合战略；加强用户的开发与维护等等的建议。

目前国内对免费软件盈利模式也只是简单的介绍，只是零星的在一些名人的博客中少量的提及，国外把免费软件等同于“开源软件”一起研究。目前一些依托免费软件不断发展壮大起来的公司，如百度，腾讯，奇虎360成为互联网巨头，走出了国门，到美国上市。论文主要研究目的就是研究免费软件盈利模式，为国内相关的研究填补空白。本论文先从免费模式的优劣势进行分析，通过研究该类公司的经营业务，财务报表等数据和相关公司披露资料进行研究，列举出当前免费软件盈利的几种模式。本论文的研究意义在于对目前免费软件盈利模式进行分析和整理，分析免费软件面临的威胁，未来的机会，以及能够提出一些建议和思考，能够给免费软件经营策略和模式转变提供理论参考。
