kostenlose Demo-Laufzeit einer Software

Explanation:
just a guess
meist bleibt es auch im Deutschen "grace period" - oder es wird umschrieben - oder es heißt nur "kostenlose Demoversion" - da geht dann aber die Zeitbegrenzung unter.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Danke für die Hilfe! Diese Grace Period wird gegeben, nachdem der Testzeitraum abgelaufen ist. Z.B. der Testzeitraum = 14 Tage, nach Ablauf der 14 Tage bekommt der Interessent nochmals 7 Tage. Das ging nicht ganz aus meiner Frage hervor. Danke :-)

3 hrs confidence:

Kulanzzeit der Software

Explanation:
A search with grace period turned up the following definitions
Wikipedia : A grace period is a period of time past the deadline for fulfilling an obligation during which a penalty that would be imposed for being late is waived.
Investors : The additional period of time a lender or insurance policy issuer provides for a borrower to make payment on a debt without penalty.
And the second page is along the same lines.
The German word Kulanz seems to embody this meaning and a search has turned up credible matches.
