If after a trial period you decide to use it, you must get a license. A license for the use of UniQWK can be obtained by sending a $30.00 (American dollars) registration fee. Regarding the Shareware registration. There is only one reminder box just to stimulate you about the registration. This is NOT a crippled version of the program. It is a shareware version, but it is fully operational. There are only two restrictions: the obligatory use of two UniQWK advertisement taglines and an occasionally box to remind you to get a license. The license fee paid for UniQWK is a one time fee. The license legalizes your use of the program and keep you free from the boring reminder box and from the taglines. With registration you can change the tagline, or use no tagline. Licensed users can use future revisions of UniQWK without an additional fee, and have technical support, if necessary. The registration of the 3.0 version gives you the title of Hot0Line BBS user for 30 days, beginning at the day of receiving your registration. If the registration response is good then we'll have the incentive to keep improving the program. It is very nice to know that some of you like what we've done, but it's even better to receive some money... Anyway, your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Public Domain Disk Vendors and distributors of public domain and user supported software may not charge a fee for UniQWK itself. However you may include UniQWK on a diskette for which you charge a nominal distribution fee. The purchaser of said diskette must be informed in advance that the fee paid to acquire the diskette does NOT relieve said purchaser from paying the Registration Fee for UniQWK. Operators of electronic bulletin board systems (Sysops) may post UniQWK for downloading by their users without written permission as long as the above conditions are met. A fee may be charged for accessing the BBS as long as no specific fee is charged for downloading UniQWK files. BBS Operators (Sysops) can get a special (free!) license if they post this software for downloading - contact us. *** How to Install - This version includes an installation program.
