Your purchase of Rumpus includes at least one year of free software upgrades. You may upgrade to the latest version of Rumpus any time you wish, simply by going to the Maxum Web site and downloading a current demonstration version. To access the downloads, click "Download" on the Rumpus Home Page at:

http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/

The demonstration version will include the full Rumpus application, updated User's Guide, and new support files.

To validate the demonstration version so that it will run without limits or an expiration date, launch the demo application and choose "Validation..." from the "File" menu. Enter the serial number and validation code from the "Keep This Card!" registration card in your original package, or from the e-mail you were sent if you received Rumpus electronically.

It is very important that you keep your serial number and validation code, as they will be needed for all future updates you qualify for. Maxum cannot be responsible for lost validation codes.

If you purchased Rumpus before October 1, 1999, then you received a "key file" instead of a validation code. Your program disk includes a special key file, named with your Rumpus serial number, which can be used instead of a validation code. To validate a copy of Rumpus, simply drag and drop your key file onto the Rumpus application. Rumpus will launch and display the message "Thank You. This copy of Rumpus has been validated."

Please save your original Rumpus disk that includes your key file in a safe place. In the future, when you download new versions of Rumpus, you can then simply insert your floppy and drag the original key onto the new version of Rumpus. If you received Rumpus electronically, save your key on a floppy disk or in some other safe location.

After one year, your key may no longer work with new versions of Rumpus. Contact Maxum Development for information on upgrading to a new version at that time. Of course, any existing validated copies you own will continue to function normally for an indefinite period of time.
