  Registration Level Information

 

In order to make our software available to both home and business users, two registration keys are possible. One of these is for "Personal Use" copies of the software, whereas the other is for open "Business Use" of the software. In this fashion we have set up online payment, where you are able to purchase your unique Personal Use Code, at the personal use rate, or the Business Code at the business rate.

Differences between the levels are set out below:

 


Business Use

  • Business Use code gives you license to use the software for an unlimited number of CDs for the company/ person to which it is registered.
  • Shareware reminder dialogs NEVER come up.
  • The software NEVER displays the text over images.
  • You can use the software for CDs which will be sold, or used for other business purposes.*
  • We will register a company name or an individual's name for Business Use. (We do not register to "User Names" or "Nick Names".)
  • We will support you (via email) as much as we can in your use of the software.
  • You are licensed to use the registration code (for authoring) on one computer only, for use on additional computers additional licenses must be purchased. A discount of 15% is available for purchases of 3 or more of the same program (at the same level) at a time.

Personal Use 

  • Personal Use code gives you license to use the software for an unlimited number of CDs for your own personal home or student use.
  • Shareware reminder dialogs NEVER come up.
  • A personal use only notice comes up for 1 second, which shows either "Personal Use Only" or your name (alternating between). Our newer applications do not alter your menu but show (in white text) "Personal Use Only" or your name in the banner which shows "unregistered user" in the trial version. In our other applications this comes up in very small text in the lower right corner of the main graphic area of your menu in a random color over your image.
  • You are not authorised to use the software for CDs you use for company or business purposes or CDs which you will sell.*
  • We will not register a company name for Personal Use. (We also do not register to "User Names" or "Nick Names".)
  • We will support you (via email) as much as we can in your use of the software
  • You are licensed to use the registration code (for authoring) on one computer only, for use on additional computers additional licenses must be purchased. A discount of 15% is available for purchases of 3 or more of the same program (at the same level) at a time.

Unregistered Use 

  • Unregistered Use gives you the ability to try our software to see if it suits your requirements.
  • There is a 10% chance a dialog will come up, reminding you that the software is shareware and giving you a chance to visit our site to register. That means that 90% of the time the CD will "Autorun" as you want. This will continue to happen until the software is registered.
  • "Unregistered Copy" comes up in small capitals in the lower right corner of the main graphic area in a random color over your image.
  • You are not authorised to use the software for CDs you will distribute, sell or use for either personal or business purposes.
  • We offer only limited support to unregistered users, as there are many many more unregistered users than there are registered ones.

 

  Other Information  

* You are not authorised, under any condition, to "onsell" our software. This means you cannot purchase our software, and then create CDs for or on behalf of other companies or individuals. This includes CD Authors, CD manufacturing services and all electronic media. The CDs must be made for the registered user only. The software is licensed, not sold. This means you are a licensed user of the software, and for another company or individual to use the software then they must have license, in their name, to use the software. This means that if you are a CD authoring service and wish to offer our software to your clients, you must pay for and register the software in the clients name if they choose to include it on their CD.

If you have any questions on registration or the options you have please do not hesitate in emailing us.
