SPICE 3f4 compiled by Wolfgang Mües for Win32.
There are no limitations of number of parts or nodes and you may use and distribute it for free.

2) LTspice/SwitcherCAD III (http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/#Spice)
Updated october 19, 2007.
It is free and it seems to be unrestricted.

LTSpice works great. It is very easy to use since it is integrated with the diagram drawing.

You will have to go hunting for spice models, as the distributed models are minimal.

Spice Simulation of a Loudspeaker with Thiele Small Parameters


On
http://micka.de/org/en/introduction.php
you can find an interesting approach to use TSP within Spice. The recalculation is done within the circuit file:

It is demonstrated with LTSpice. For your own examination download

Wow! I haven't seen this stuff since the late 80's / early 90's! That's how we used to have to do it. :yes:
