Phoenix Simulator Downloads

Since PhoenixSim is now fully out of business and there is no customer support left whatsoever I consider it to be abandonware and I feel I can share files for support and community purposes to those still using the software. You still need a dongle to use it. If original copyright holders wish to take these files down for a valid reason they can contact me.

As for the other two they may be free to download and have a limited trial period?
No it is NOT legal "Abandonware" simply because you think it is.

What Is Abandonware and Is It Legal? (makeuseof.com)

Publicly posting it in a forum also offers proof of intent.
