What_Happens_After_Register
What happens after I register?

After you register PrimaSoft software you will receive diskettes with the registered version of the program. The registered version is functionally identical to the shareware version but the Registration Reminder screen is no longer displayed and the program is not time-limited. We will always send you the latest version of the program. If you register on-line on the Internet through one of our on-line stores you will be able to download the registered version of the program - in this case we will not send you diskettes by mail. If you register by e-mail we will send you back the registration code.


What_Is_Shareware
What is shareware?

Shareware is a marketing method of computer software in which the user has a chance to try the software before buying it (Try-Before-You-Buy). The user can freely copy the shareware version of the program and install it on his/her computer. After the evaluation period (typically about 4 weeks), if the user decides that he/she likes the program and wants to use it, he/she should register the program by sending the registration fee to the program author.


Differences_Shareware_Registered
What are the differences between the shareware and registered versions of your software?

Assuming you have the latest shareware version of our software there are no functional differences between the Shareware and Registered versions. The Registered version will not display the Registration Reminder screens and is not time-limited. Registered users are entitled to discounts and in many cases to free upgrades.


Printed_Manual
Is there a printed manual included with your registered version?

No, we don't include any printed documentation. You will only receive a short letter with Installation instructions. If you have problems using our software try reading help messages. Once you learn how to use one of our programs you should have no trouble using all our other programs. If you still have problems send us an e-mail message.


Using_Credit_Card
Can I register using my credit card?

You can register over the phone, through on-line systems (Compuserve, AOL, Internet, MSN), or regular mail using your VISA Card.
