Eclipse is distributed as shareware. You are permitted to use it on a trial basis for up to 30 days. If you wish to continue using Eclipse beyond that period, you are expected to pay a registration fee to obtain a license to use Eclipse.
After we have processed your registration, we will send you a license code that you enter to complete the registration process. This removes the shareware notices and personalizes your copy of Eclipse.
Eclipse has a $15.00 registration fee. Upgrades from earlier versions are $5.00.
We don’t cripple our products. We don’t gouge you with absurd prices. We don’t fool you into buying our software with slick advertising.
What we ask is this: if you like our products, support us by paying for them. If you don’t like our products, don’t use them (or better yet, tell us why you don’t like them, so we can improve them).
Why should I register (pay for) Eclipse?
We’re attempting to offer high quality products at a low price on a “try before you buy basis.” Supporting us by registering Eclipse — assuming you like it — is the only way you can ensure that we will continue to produce more high quality software distributed as shareware.
Beyond that, you will receive a license code that removes the shareware notices and personalizes Eclipse with your name, giving you a legal copy on your Macintosh.
Registering your copy of Eclipse
Ambrosia’s Register Eclipse application allows you to easily register Eclipse using your choice of several different methods. Simply click on the Register... button that appears when you launch Eclipse. This will launch the Register Eclipse application. You can also double-click the Register Eclipse icon from the Finder.
Ambrosia Software accepts all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express). A credit card can be used to register by eMail, fax, phone, or postal mail. You can also send a check or money order to the address that appears below. Ambrosia Software also accepts purchase orders if your organization requires them. All of these options are available in the Register Eclipse application.
The Register Eclipse application is used to register Eclipse and enter your license code. This application should not be thrown out or moved, even after you’ve registered, in case you need to enter your code again.
Site Licenses
We offer site licenses and discounts for quantity purchases. This discount is calculated during the registration process. While in the Register Eclipse program, simply enter the number of copies you need and press the tab key. Your discount will be calculated and the total displayed. Here is a breakdown of the discounts:
10 - 20 copies: 10% discount
20 - 50 copies: 20% discount
50 - 100 copies: 30% discount
100 - 200 copies: 40% discount
over 200 copies: 50% discount
There is also an option to request a purchase order, if your company/institution requires them.
Custom Site Licenses
Ambrosia’s Eclipse screen saver software has proven to be very popular for companies, schools, and institutions looking for a low cost screen saver that is compatible with a multitude of Mac CPU’s and Operating Systems. If you are interested in a site license, Ambrosia is willing to work with you to customize both pricing and the Eclipse application itself to fit your particular needs.
