The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 1 Updated: November, 1995 *** NOTE: USE "INSTALL" or "1STHAND SETUP" to install Hands On *** The MAIN manual is HO.TXT; it is available during the setup _______ ____|__ | (R) --| | |------------------- | ____|__ | Association of | | |_| Shareware |__| o | Professionals -----| | |--------------------- |___|___| Member This is the SHAREWARE Registration information for some P.C Softsmith software. This information is subject to change without notice in future distributions. When you register please clearly state what you want and mark what you are registering. One choice is to simply add your name and address to this, edit it, and print it, circle or highlight the correct selection, then mail the results. You can do the same with email and some cutting and pasting. Written comments and suggestions will always be gratefully accepted. We normally do not ship hard copy manuals. Registered users can ask for the most up-to-date version of Hands On, and can receive it and more technical information. We are normally shipping a local and restricted distribution version with more advanced features than normal registered or non registered version. You can ask for a copy when you register. As an aging indicator, any version on the ASP CDROM is likely two or three months behind our current distribution and vendor or BBS lag may add another month. The Ziff-Davis/PBS time lag also seems to be 3 or 4 months. The history section in README.TXT roughly shows the Hands On upgrade frequency. You have to communicate your needs with us, not a disk vendor or other agency. Yes, if you register and you ask we will ensure that you get the latest version. Its quite possible for you to register with someone else, and find later that we have never heard of you (everybody can goof). The registration amounts are for U.S. Dollars, or Canadian The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 2 equivalent. Please note that U.S. Dollar Postal Money Orders are generally the most convenient way to directly exchange and send currency to us. The bulk of our European registrations arrive in the form of cash. The prices are applicable for any portion or all of Hands On. ASIS $50 As is where is. Licensed for one simultaneous link between 1 host and 10 remotes, or 1 remote and 10 hosts. NORMAL $60 Shipped updated complete package. Licensed for one simultaneous link between 1 host and 10 remotes, or 1 remote and 10 hosts. PROFESSIONAL $100 Shipped updated complete package. Licensed for one simultaneous link between one host and any of an unlimited number of remotes, or one remote and an unlimited number of hosts. Assistance and tools to help multiple site setup, security, and support. 1 year of free major or quarterly upgrades. PARTNER $100 up. If you are a Registered user, you can negotiate partial or full source code for internal use. Prices start at $100. SITE or WORKGROUP LICENCE $500 Shipped updated complete package. Licensed for any number of simultaneous links between one particular site and any number of outside users. The WorkGroup variant encourages a scattered group to work together on a common task or project. The idea is that the common task is NOT just 'normal business', and that there will be instances where sub-groups work together without a common site. UPGRADES $20 single. $50 for 3 quarterly updates. *** NOTE: In each case, one person should be designated as liaison per licensed copy or site. *** PLEASE TELL US IF YOU REGISTER WITH SOMEONE. TELL US IF YOU NEED "EXTRAS", and what you want shipped if anything. The following is a separate product that we distribute. People often indicate that they would have preferred to look at both choices before they opted for one. TeleShare provides The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 3 more basic remote control capability than Hands On. Its simpler and cheaper. For example, the current release does not include host keyboard locking or a modem database. TeleShare/DOS basic distribution $35 This assumes one master support center or machine and any number of machines to be supported. This price is applicable for any portion or all of the current TeleShare release. Other materials: CONSULTING & CUSTOM SERVICES $50 hourly with a two hour minimum for materials that are not likely to be part of a product upgrade. This must be arranged directly with us. We do not believe that one product fits all needs, and can tailor this product or other tools to meet a variety of needs. One example is a simple one or two phone line BBS for specific uses. ALTERNATE ORDERING AND PAYMENT SCHEMES: OPTION 1 - Public (software) Library terms PsL's terms are: "You can order by sending check, cash or money order to P. C. Softsmith or with MC, Visa, Amex, or Discover from the Public (software) Library by calling 1-800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394 or by FAX to 1-713-524-6398 or by CIS Email to 71355,470. These numbers are for orders only. To insure that you get the latest version, PsL will notify us the day of your order and we will ship the product directly to you. Any questions about the status of the shipment of the order, refunds, registration options, product details, technical support, volume discounts, dealer pricing, site licenses, etc, must be directed to P. C. Softsmith (see below). You can also mail credit card orders to PsL at P.O.Box 35705, Houston, TX, USA, 77235-5705." Please note that the Public (software) Library will normally be selling disks with the latest version, and we will assume that you have the latest version unless you specifically ask for an update and utilities with Hands On. If you can order from PSL and email/mail us at P. C. Softsmith with any The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 4 technical/support details you will get the best overall service. Note that you cannot talk to us and order from PsL through us; the two procedures are separate. We can discuss upgrades, timing, and so on, with you but the PsL people cannot. Talk to us at P. C. Softsmith but pay them at PsL. Please figure on adding $4 for shipping and handling with the PsL option. If you just want a 'test drive' copy, order from it PsL (and ask them for a copy of their monthly magazine/catalogue). OPTION 2 - via Compuserve You can use Compuserve to register. Hands On is registered as #4509, and you "GO SWREG" to go through the registration process. It can take a month or so for us to learn that you have registered. Send us email about the registration, and ask for any 'extras' that you want. OPTION 3 - P. C. Softsmith terms, and general support Or you may send your name and address and U.S. funds, or Canadian equivalent to P.C.
