The small registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. If you plan to keep the software, please pay the authors. These fees are small, and support some of the brightest programmers working today. 2.2 ASP Ombudsman Statement This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
