2. GRANT OF LICENSE.  
Evaluation License.  If you have acquired the license for the Software on an evaluation or trial basis, you may use the Software without charge for the evaluation period of 28 days.  Your evaluation period begins on the day you install the Software.  You must pay the license fee and register your copy to continue to use the Software after the evaluation period.  Otherwise you must immediately cease using the Software and delete all installed copies of the Software that you have made.  To pay the license fee and register your copy, you should visit www.swiftdog.com.  For so long as the Software is the most current version of GameThrust distributed by SWIFTDOG, you may give exact copies of the evaluation Software to anyone.  You may not charge any fee for the copy or use of the evaluation Software itself, but you may charge a distribution fee that is reasonably related to any cost you incur distributing the evaluation Software (e.g. packaging).  You must not represent in any way that you are selling the Software itself.  Your distribution of the evaluation Software will not entitle you to any compensation from SWIFTDOG.  You must distribute a copy of this license with any copy of the Software and anyone to whom you distribute the Software is subject to this license.  You may not remove any copyright, trademark or reservation of rights language displayed on, in or with the Software.  You may also not include any registration number, serials or methods to circumvent the Software protection mechanism.

Registered License.  When you purchase a license, you will be provided with a registration number.  You must enable the registered license for the Software by entering the registration number as prompted by the Software.  The term of the license is perpetual.  You may use the registered Software on that number of computers for which you have purchased a separate license as indicated on the invoice or sales receipt.  You may also make one copy of the Software for back-up or archival purposes.  Otherwise, you may not copy the Software in whole or in part.

You may not rent, lease, or lend the Software.  You agree not to enter any serial or registration number into the Software for which you have not purchased or use any means to circumvent the Software protection mechanism; in that event the license to use the Software will be in violation of this agreement.

4.  SUPPORT SERVICES.  SWIFTDOG may provide you with support services related to the Software.

In the event the license to use the Software has been violated due to piracy restrictions set forth in this license, you hereby grant us the permission to the following actions:  You agree we are authorized to restart your computer to remove any illegally entered serials, registry entries or modifications to the Software.  You also agree we are authorized to install files to display a piracy notice at the start of the computer indefinitely to notify the owner of the computer of infringing material; whereupon the piracy notice will automatically remove itself from the computer.  To remove the piracy notice manually, simply restart the computer up to twelve times without entering subsequent illegal serial codes into the software; and/or manually delete the file (typically located) at: ‘c:\windows\sysutil.exe’.
