What is SHAREWARE

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,  whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

Benefits of Purchasing Ecopad
Benifits of Purchasing Ecopad

When you purchase Ecopad, you will receive a registration number that will convert your shareware version into a registered version which will disable all shareware screens and which does not reverse even numbered pages.  You may use this registration number for all future releases of Ecopad, so that upgrading is as easy as downloading the new version.  Of course, this also means that all upgrades are completely free of charge!

As a special bonus, when you purchase Ecopad, you will also receive EcopadNT free of charge.  EcopadNT is a 32 bit, native WindowsNT application which can handle files of unlimited size.

Versions of Ecopad will also be available for Windows95.  You can download them and use your registration number to register them instantly!
