LICENSING AND REGISTRATION


         All versions of EasyCASE, from version 1.1 on, are NOT Public Domain
       software nor are they Free software. Currently, EasyCASE is a
       SHAREWARE program and requires the user to register the program if he
       or she intends to use it except for the purpose of limited evaluation
       described below.   Registration grants the user a licence to use
       EasyCASE on a single computer at any one time.

         Non-registered users are granted a limited licence to use EasyCASE
       on a trial basis for the purpose of evaluation and determining if
       EasyCASE is suitable for their needs. Use of EasyCASE, except for this
       limited purpose, requires the user to register the product.

         All users of the SHAREWARE version of EasyCASE are granted limited
       licence to copy the product only for the trial use by others, subject
       to the above limitations, provided that EasyCASE is copied in its full
       and unmodified form. That is, the copy must include all files
       necessary to permit full operation of the program, this licence
       agreement, registration form and full documentation. No fee, charge,
       licence, warranty, registration obligation or other compensation of
       any kind may be accepted by the donor or recipient in exchange for a
       copy of EasyCASE.

         Operators of Electronic Bulletin Board Systems (BBS Sysops) may
       permit the SHAREWARE version of EasyCASE to be downloaded by any user,
       and any user may be permitted to upload a copy of EasyCASE to a BBS,
       with the Sysop's permission, provided the above conditions are met.

         Use of non-registered copies of EasyCASE by any person in connection
       with a business, corporation, educational establishment or government
       agency is forbidden. Such users must register the product and/or
       purchase a site licence agreement.

         Registration of EasyCASE licences you to use the product on a
       regular basis and entitles you to receive notification of bug-fixes,
       enhancements, extensions, upgrades etc. and product technical support
       relating to the use and application of EasyCASE.

         Registration  covers the use of the product, by the registered user
       only, and provides you with the latest version of EasyCASE on disk and
       a complete, more comprehensive printed and bound copy of the user
       manual.

         As a registered user, you will be notified of future EasyCASE
       upgrades and revisions and offered the opportunity to acquire them at
       a preferred rate and also, for a limited time,  you will be provided
       with minor upgrades, bug-fixes etc. free of charge. You will also be
       able to upgrade to EasyCASE Plus.

         Shareware is copyrighted by its author and cannot be distributed
       without the author's permission. The author retains all rights (unlike
       Public Domain software) to a shareware program and can make changes to












       it, or withdraw it from public use as he or she wishes. The
       distribution of shareware is encouraged by the author so that others
       may evaluate it and determine if it meets their needs, use of which
       beyond a reasonable evaluation period requires the user to register
       his or her copy of the program.

         The Shareware concept, known also as user supported software, is
       beneficial to both the developer and the user. The user benefits from
       this 'try before you buy' approach because it enables him or her to
       obtain the program at a minimal investment, typically only the connect
       and line charges for telephone connection to a bulletin board or
       CompuServe, GEnie etc. or the price of the disks and shipping (usually
       $5 - $10) from shareware vendors such as Public Brand Software or PC-
       Sig, and then spend some time determining if the program meets his or
       her needs in terms of functions, user interface, performance, hardware
       investment, speed, features etc.

         If after a trial period, typically one month, the user wishes to
       continue using the program, he or she must then register it and so be
       entitled to the latest version, full documentation, upgrades,
       technical support etc. However, if after the trial period, the user
       does not find the program suitable, he or she should cease using the
       program and/or pass it on for other potential users to evaluate.

         The shareware approach is additionally beneficial to both the user
       and developer because, as the software is user supported, the user may
       suggest or request certain enhancements, additions etc. for
       consideration by the developer who is usually only too willing to
       cater to the needs of users and usually at only minimal cost. How many
       times have you been unable to afford or spent a large amount of money
       on a commercially available program only to find that it does not
       really meet your needs, was vastly over-priced or you later find that
       you have to spend even more money for additional features, upgrades
       etc. and that program ends up as 'shelfware'?. The shareware approach
       is intended to try to address these problems and provide the user with
       high quality, affordable software.
