The copy of MCBase, marked "SHAREWARE version", it is NOT free software! Evaluation period: You may EVALUATE this copy of the MCBase database system for a period of 30 days (OR until you've reached the EVALUATION LIMIT for a database, which ever comes first), to determine if it meets your needs. After this trial period you must register your copy (by purchasing a registration key) at one of the given addresses (see the MCBase order forms within this file) OR STOP using this software. Evaluation limit: While in it's shareware status, MCBase is limiting itself to accomodate (roughly) 30 albums. We are assuming that when you have entered these 30 albums (or whatever database that might be the first to reach it's shareware evaluation limit), you're BEYOND the point of an EVALUATION USAGE. The shareware status is terminated IMMEDIATELY after adding the registration key to the MCBase database directory. ==> SEE SECTION "MCBASE LICENSE AGREEMENT" FOR FURTHER INFO. <== REGISTER YOUR COPY OF MCBASE REGISTERING MCBase (purchasing a registration key) allows you to use the product after the evaluation period. Apart from that: - 1) You will receive the mentioned registration key, that will remove the shareware evaluation limit on the database system. Also, the registra tion key will enable you to upgrade FOR FREE to any other MCBase V2.x update! Just copy any new V2.x MCBASE.EXE-file over the old one, that's all. The newly obtained (shareware) version will recognize your re- gistration key and will turn itself into a REGISTERED MCBASE VERSION. Further information on the registration key and how to use it, will be included with your registration key. - 2) You will receive the most recent version of MCBase on disk in 3 ver sions: XT-, AT- and protected mode versions. A manual is included on disk as a textfile. Software for MCBase V1.x database conversion will also be included. - 3) You will also receive notification of major MCBase updates and you will be able to obtain those updates with a 25% DISCOUNT off the normal registration price. (Payable amount = Registration price - Upgrade Discount + S & H costs). Minor updates can be obtained for Shipping & Handling costs only or FOR FREE from the MCBase software download pages on our InterNet website at: http:\\ourworld.compuserve.com\homepages\Harry_Doldersum\mcbhome.htm - 4) You have priority when questions might occur. Product support is available (through the use of postal mail, e-mail or fax) for an unlimited period of time. - 5) Registered MCBase users know they are helping to keep SHAREWARE "low cost / good quality"-software alive. NOTE: You can register using one of the orderforms within this file) OR you can use an online registration service. All the required information about placing your ORDER can be found in this file. What happens if you choose to use MCBase without registering! As an unregistered shareware version, MCBase has evaluation limits on the maximum amount of processable items. As an example: the Album database is limited to 30 entries (See "evaluation limit"). Now, if you do NOT register MCBase and you enter MORE than this maximum amount of albums, you will be notified that your evaluation period has expired and that you are requested to register, if you wish to continue using MCBase. If you would ignore this request and would continue entering data, the editing functions (as several others) will soon be disabled. The reason for doing so is following: This package is SHAREWARE. IT IS NOT FREEWARE! MCBASE LICENSE AGREEMENT. MCBASE IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE. The MCBase registration key, is STRICTLY PERSONAL and may not be duplicated other than for backup purposes on your personal behalf, as it turns the shareware version of MCBase V2.x into a registered version. By registering your copy of MCBase you do NOT become the owner of this software package, but you are granted the fully supported use of the MCBase database system. The MCBase software package will remain the total property of the author, Harry Doldersum, under all circumstances. Users are granted a limited license to use the SHAREWARE version of MCBase for a limited evaluation period (See "Evaluation period") in order to determine if the produkt meets their needs. Any other use of MCBase or use past this period requires registration. (PLEASE NOTE THAT CONTINUED USE AFTER THE EVALUATION PERIOD WITHOUT VALID REGISTRATION IS A VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS). All users are granted a limited license (and are encouraged) to copy the shareware version (NOT the registered version: DO NOT SHARE YOUR REGISTRATION KEY: SHARING YOUR REGISTRATION KEY IS A VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS) of MCBase only for the purpose of allowing others to try it, subject to the above restrictions as well as these: MCBase must be distributed in absolutely unmodified form, including all program, documentation and other files as found in the original MCBxxx.ZIP (xxx = version number) archive file. If you MUST repack the ZIP-archive then please make sure you include all files as found in the original archive. MCBase may not be included with any other product for any reason whatsoever without a written license from the author in person or his legal representative in these matters. No payment may be charged for MCBase, other than a fee to cover copying expences. Bulletin Board system operators may post the unregistered SHAREWARE version of MCBase on their BBS for downloading by their users WITHOUT written permission of the author (= Harry Doldersum) ONLY if the above mentioned conditions are met, and only if no special fee is necessary to access the MCBase archive file. Distributors of SHAREWARE and Public Domain software, MUST obtain written permission from the author (Harry Doldersum) before distributing MCBase and must follow the above mentioned conditions (EXCLUSIONS: PLEASE SEE "IMPORTANT NOTES" BELOW). Permission is almost always granted; this requirement is necessary to ensure protection for ourselves and MCBase users from unscrupulous individuals. Important notes: -1) You may not advertize MCBase as free software, but as SHAREWARE only! Please explain the shareware concept to prospective buyers. -2) Distributors, who are an ASP member (or those who follow the ASP's guidelines), do NOT need our written permission for distribution. -3) ALL distributors and/or BBS-systems must seize distributing MCBase within one month of written request by the author.
