- REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
-
- Definition of Shareware. . .
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
- buying it. If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are
- expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
- request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
- trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
- to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both shareware and commercial software, and
- the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions
- as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just
- like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In
- both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is
- in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right
- to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
- commercial or shareware. The shareware system makes fitting your needs
- easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
- low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee
- -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
-
- ARIS Version Tracking System Disclaimer - Agreement. . .
-
- Users of ARIS Version Tracking System (AVTS) must accept this
- disclaimer of warranty: AVTS is supplied as-is. The author disclaims
- all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
- which may result from the use of AVTS.

- _____
-
- Individual Registration. . .
-
- AVTS is a copyrighted shareware program by Alexander Riedel,
- President, ARIS Germany. The evaluation version of AVTS is offered at
- no charge to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to share it
- with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part
- of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
- provide personal computer users with quality software without high
- prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
- develop new products.
-
- If you find this program useful and find that you are using AVTS
- after a 60-day trial period, you must make a registration payment of $30.
- Checks may be made payable to Alexander Riedel or ARIS. You will be
- sent by return mail a registered copy of the latest version of AVTS
- with hard copy of the user's manual.
-
- Registration also entitles you to user support by mail or CompuServe
- E-mail for at least one year and to a free copy by mail of the next major
- update to AVTS.
-
- In addition, if you are a CompuServe subscriber and so wish, you may
- be added to an E-mail list and receive periodic upgrades of AVTS by
- CompuServe E-mail. These files will be transmitted as binary files
- compressed using the PKZIP utility. Please indicate your desire in the
- area provided on the registration form.
-
- You may order your registration by one of several ways:
-
- o Directly, by sending cash or money order to
-
- Alexander Riedel Informations-Systeme
- Am Schmiedberg 16a
- D-8019 Glonn
- Germany
-
-
- o With major credit card through the CompuServe Shareware Registry.
- Just GO CIS:SWREG Registration ID 579
-
- Site Licenses. . .
-
- For a "corporate" user, in which a company wishes to provide AVTS as a
- workplace resource for employees, the company's registration may be
- extended to a license for multiple users in any combination of two ways:
-
- 1. The single-user license conferred with original $30 registration
- may be extended to any number of additional users at the rate of $7.50
- per additional user, with no increment in the original benefits (ie., no
- additional hard copies of manual will be sent, only one copy of the
- future upgrade will be sent, technical support provided only to the
- original registrant).
-
- I recognize that the number of users afforded access to AVTS in a
- large company or network will vary as employees come and go and users are
- added and subtracted, and so I ask only for a good-faith estimate, BUT
- based on the total number of users afforded access, NOT on some lower
- estimate of the number of users who might be using AVTS
- simultaneously. The company may at its own expense print this number of
- additional manuals and disks to distribute to the added users. I have
- priced this license extension so reasonably that this additional cost per
- additional authorized user is affordable for the smallest to the largest
- company, and represents a small fraction of the workplace productivity
- gain benefiting each user.
-
- 2. The original license may be extended to additional users at the
- rate of $15 per user, and I will send one complete registration package
- (disk plus manual and any current material fringe benefits) per
- additional user.
-
- In either case of license extension, the users added are licensed to
- use AVTS ONLY in the workplace for which the license extension was
- purchased. Any users who wish copies for their personal use MUST
- individually register AVTS with ARIS.
-
-
- Shareware Distribution. . .
-
- Distributors and BBS sysops recognized by the Association of
- Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
- distributors may begin offering AVTS in their catalogs/BBS services
- immediately.
- Other distributors whose only remuneration is a nominal fee for the disk
- itself, and whose literature makes it clear to their buyers that the
- program material must be separately purchased from the author, may also
- offer AVTS immediately, but should inform me so that I can provide them
- periodic updates. Distributors who wish to sell AVTS packaged as or in
- a retail product must contact me, and are NOT authorized to distribute
- this version of AVTS without prior approval.
