original copy and got updates for free, but various serials are online.

"serials are online" describes Warez, not Freeware.

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/WareGlossary.php

"Warez: Software that is stolen, and/or enabled, by illegal means."

"Abandonware: software that the original owner no longer offers to the
public. Abandonware refers to a product that is no longer marketed or
distributed by the author/company that published it. Orphanware is used
when the author cannot be located or the company is no longer in
existence. Copyright laws apply to Orphanware and Abandonware. The
programs are freeware only if they were released as freeware (or given
freeware status by the owner at a later date). "
