The shareware concept allows authors to produce commercial-quality software at a fraction of the cost. But the authors will not continue to produce shareware unless users register! You may register an Alexi/Ware program by check/money order, or by credit card. Credit card registrations, the fastest way to get your key, are handled through Dave Perkovich of the Negotiations BBS (510-247-9221, Fidonet 1:161/205, HST and v32bis available). Just log on, go to the registration door, and fill out the short questionnaire. As soon as Dave verifies your card number, he sends the information to me, and I send your registration key to you. To register by check or money order, please print out the ORDER.FRM file (or write the necessary information if you don't have a printer) and send it, along with your payment in US funds, to: Chad Nelson P. O. Box 5614 Hampton Park, MD, USA 20791 Either way, you will receive a return letter with your registration key and instructions for installing it. Personal checks may require extra time to clear the banks; other forms of payment (credit card, money order, cashier's check, etc) will be processed immediately. All payments must be made in US funds, and drawn on a US bank. I don't recommend sending cash, but you may do so at your own risk. Unless otherwise noted in the program documentation, your key is valid for life (yours, mine, or the program's), and can be used on all current and future versions of that program. Non-commercial, non-government systems must pay a one-time fee of $25 for the program, and may then use it on as many machines as are run by that Sysop. These systems do *not* need to purchase multiple copies or site licences to run the program on more than one machine. Commercial or government systems must pay for each copy they will use. Bulk pricing is available as follows: Copies Price per copy ------ -------------- 1-10 $25 11-25 $22 26-50 $18 51-75 $13 76+ $10
