K-INSTALL for DOS and Windows 2.7 Copyright (c) 1994-96 by Rob McDonell, ARK ANGLES All Rights Reserved REGISTRATION INFORMATION THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT Shareware is licenced commercial software which the authors make available on a try-before-you-buy basis. Users may evaluate a Shareware product for a period usually between 30 and 90 days, by the end of which they must either pay for the product (known as Registration) or stop using it. Copying of Shareware, subject to the above conditions, is not only allowed, it is encouraged. Pass copies on to interested friends and colleagues. Shareware authors rely on the integrity of users to abide by the conditions of the licence, and register the product if they want to continue using it. Many, like ARK ANGLES, also give added benefits to users who register. ABOUT THIS PRODUCT This program is Shareware, and may be freely copied and distributed subject to the terms described in the VENDINFO.DIZ file. The program may be tried out for up to 60 days without charge, after which time users should register it or cease to use it. Note that Shareware does not mean Freeware or Public Domain. This program is licenced software, and copying, using or distributing it without paying for it, except as provided above, is a breach of copyright. This program MUST be registered in order to distribute it as the install program for any other piece of software, whether it be commercial software, shareware, public domain, freeware, demo programs etc. WHY REGISTER? As stated, the licence for this product entitles you to try it out for up to 60 days. Use of the unregistered product beyond that period, or the distribution of any part of it except as allowed in the VENDINFO.DIZ file, is a breach of copyright and is against the law. But apart from the legal obligation, there are many benefits to be gained from registering. With K-INSTALL Standard Edition you will receive: * a copy of the latest version of the program, plus * no pricing or registration reminders in the program, plus * a fully indexed printed manual, plus * the right to distribute INSTALL.EXE and/or SETUP.EXE royalty free with your own software, plus * bonus programs, plus * 12 months free support from the author, plus * news and upgrade information, plus * the satisfaction of supporting value software through Shareware. K-INSTALL Professional Edition includes all the above benefits, plus lots of additional software features: * complete customisation of all messages, even for other languages, plus * basic copy protection facilities to safeguard your software, plus * the ability to scramble the settings file to prevent tampering, plus * check for a pre-existing installation for upgrades, plus * install optional components separately at a later time, plus * automatic installation from multiple directories on CDs, plus * text and graphics slide show capabilities during installation, plus * both DOS and Windows versions in the same package, plus more! PRICING Individual registration of K-INSTALL Standard for either DOS or Windows is A$65 (US$53, 35, Dm85, 5500). This entitles one author to use and distribute K-INSTALL royalty free with any number of programs they have developed entirely themselves. Business registration of K-INSTALL Standard for either DOS or Windows is A$155 (US$125, 80, Dm200, 13000). This entitles the business to use and distribute K-INSTALL royalty free with any number of programs they have developed by any number of employees in one development group at one site. Register both the DOS and Windows versions together and get the second for half price. Individual registration is A$95 (US$77, 50, Dm125, 8000). Business registration is A$225 (US$180, 115, Dm290, 19000). For the serious developer, K-INSTALL Professional includes lots of extra features such as complete customisation of all messages, basic copy protection, ability to scramble the settings file, check for pre-existing installation, separate optional component installation, extra support for installing from CDs, text and graphics slide shows, and more. Both DOS and Windows versions are included in the Professional package. Individual registration is A$125 (US$100, 65, Dm166, 10500). Business registration is A$295 (US$240, 150, Dm385, 25000). For CD-ROM manufacturers, K-INSTALL CD is a multi-product catalogue and installation system that can handle thousands of products on one disk. It offers several types of classifications, multi-category and keyword searches, product information slide shows, the ability to copy, install and/or run each product, and more. Perfect for shareware CD publishers and other multi-product distributors. Both DOS and Windows executables are included, as are all the functions of K-INSTALL Professional. Business registration is A$495 (US$395, 250, Dm640, 42000). Individually customised versions of all these products are also available, in which your chosen settings can be hard coded into the program itself. This alleviates the need for a separate settings file, makes your program more secure from prying eyes, and results in a smaller install program. Pricing for each customised version is the same as the equivalent generic program. Updates are released regularly, and unregistered copies of the latest version are available from ARK ANGLES for just a shipping charge of $5 each, or from many good Shareware vendors. All prices include shipping anywhere in the world. Need K-INSTALL in a hurry? Ask for SPEED (Special Purpose Electronic Express Delivery) when ordering.
