LICENSE AGREEMENT 9. DISCLAIMER Thank you for trying My Personal Diary (32-bit) *** READ THIS!!!! IMPORTANT STEPS FOR UPGRADING *** If you are upgrading from a previous version of My Personal Diary be sure to follow these steps: This version looks for your entry files in a different directory than previous versions did. Before running the program for the first time move your existing entry files (normally found in the C:\MPDDATA directory) to the "Diary Data" directory in the directory you installed My Personal Diary in. For example if you install in the default directory, move all the files in C:\MPDATA to C:\Program Files\CAM Development\My Personal Diary\Diary Data. When you run this version for the first time you will need to re-create your account. You do this at the login screen by entering the SAME name and password you used previously and clicking OK as you normally do. When asked to create a new diary, answer YES. This will not effect any entries you already created with the previous version. MAKE SURE YOU ENTER THE EXACT SAME NAME AND PASSWORD YOU USED PREVIOUSLY! IF YOU ARE UPGRADING AND DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE THIS PROGRAM MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY! 1. SHAREWARE INFORMATION This program is the full featured trial version of My Personal Diary (32-bit). THIS IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE. It is distributed as Shareware, which allows you to "try before you buy." You may evaluate the software for 30 days.

LICENSE AGREEMENT By installing this software you accept the following license agreement. The software is distributed through a means known as Shareware. Shareware is not a type of software, but a means of distribution. SHAREWARE IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE. You are granted a right to use the software for an evaluation period of 30 days. If you continue to use the software after the evaluation period you are required to either register or remove the software from your computer. The software is considered "registered" once the author has received the appropriate payment for the software and the "registration ID" has been entered in to the program. Once registered the software does not display the message explaining the Shareware concept and therefore can not be distributed as Shareware. Your registration ID code is for your personal use only. You may not publish your registration ID code or distribute it in any way nor may you distribute the software once it has been registered. Distributing your registration ID is illegal and is no different than distributing illegal copies of the registered software. You may freely distribute the SHAREWARE version provided that 1) you distribute the original ZIP file containing all the original files 2) it's clearly stated that the software is Shareware 3) no more than $5 is charged per copy (only to cover duplication costs if applicable). If you are a vendor see the VENDOR.DOC file for more information. VENDORS MUST BE GRANTED PERMISSION DIRECTLY FROM ME BEFORE DISTRIBUTING THE SOFTWARE. The software and documentation are copyrighted. United States Copyright law provides civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, and/or sale of copyrighted material. 9.
