- RenderCalc Registration Information

-
-
- RenderCalc is a Shareware program. If you find that you use this program
- please send the Shareware registration fee of $15 (US dollars) to the
- address listed at the bottom of the Registration.form file.
-
-
-
- What do you get when you register?
- ----------------------------------
-
- When you register your copy of RenderCalc you will receive a personalized
- keyfile. This keyfile will remove all of the Shareware Notices which
- appear whenever you start or exit the program, as well as when you click
- on the zoom gadget. These notices will NEVER appear again as long as the
- keyfile is not removed or tampered with.
-
- Another benefit of registering is that I will take into account the
- requests of registered users if/when I revise the program. If you're not
- a registered user, you can still send in a request for an addition or
- change, but I won't be as quick to implement those requests. I will give
- more consideration to the requests of the registered users.
-
-
-
- What the heck is a keyfile?
- ---------------------------
-
- A keyfile, literally, 'unlocks' a program. In this case, the keyfile will
- remove all of the Shareware Notices which appear.
-
- Installation of this keyfile needs to be done only once. You will receive
- complete and concise instructions about what to do with the keyfile upon
- registration.
-
- The keyfile encryption system is, as it stands, quite solid. If, however,
- I decide to change the encryption scheme, all registered users will
- recieve updated keyfiles, which reflect these changes, as soon as possible.
-
- The whole purpose of the keyfile system was to remove the burden and
- hassle of mailing disks, which is more expensive and slow. If you have an
- Internet email account I can send the keyfile, which is just a set of
- numbers, and instructions through Email. Otherwise I can send it over
- regular postal mail. With every update, you won't have to wait for a disk
- to arrive (which would be an additional cost above the shareware fee.) Every
- time a new version of the program comes out, your keyfile will work with
- the 'regular' Unregistered version. In effect your keyfile will Register
- or 'unlock' the current and all future versions of the program automatically.
- If anything is disabled in future versions of the program, your keyfile will
- enable them, allowing you to use the program to it's full extent.
-
- Your keyfile will be personalized. This means that in addition to
- unlocking the RenderCalc program, your name will be encrypted into the
- keyfile as well. This is why it is important, when you register, to
- include your full name.
-
-
-
- How the heck to I register?
- ---------------------------
-
- It couldn't be easier. There is a file called 'Registration.form' which is
- a template you may print out. When you print out the form, just neatly print
- (so I can read it :-) ) the requested information. Your full name and address
- are mandatory. The rest of the information is optional, although, I would
- like to hear your comments.
-
- After you fill out the registration form, enclose a check or money order
- for $15 (US dollars) to Daniel S. Milling Jr. at the address listed at the
- bottom of the registration form. (If you are overseas, please add $1 to cover
- postage if you don't have an internet account.)
-
- It will probably take about 2 weeks or less for you to get your keyfile
- through the US mail (not sure about foreign.) If you have an Internet
- account which can receive Email, PLEASE include this on the registration
- form. If you include an Internet Email address I will send all of the
- necessary information via Email. You will get the information MUCH faster
- than by regular mail (especially foreign folks.) Via Email, I can send it
- within a day or two of my receiving your form and payment (you should get the
- info within one week or less from the time you mailed it.)

-
- How do I reach the Author?
- --------------------------
-
- You can either send EMAIL to:
-
- MILLING@STUDSYS.MSCS.MU.EDU or
- dan@chaos.mcs.mu.edu
-
- You may also reach me via my postal address, listed on the registration
- form.

-
-
- Anything else?
- --------------
-
- Please remember, every time you look at that wonderful Shareware Notice, that
- a lot of hard work went into the creation of this program.
-
- Thank You!
