- Yes and no.
-
- Beginning with the Executor 2 beta, we will have two separate
- versions, the demo version and the commercial version.
-
- The demo version will be time limited, and have a few other
- limitations built in. It will not be possible to convert this version
- to the commercial version because some of the limitations will be done
- by actually removing code. The demo version will be publicly
- redistributable.
-
- The commercial version will be fully functional but will not be
- available electronically. Patches to the commercial version *will* be
- available electronically, but the patches will not be of any use to
- the demo users.

-
- You'll need a copy from ARDI, but all purchasers of 1.99<x> will
- automatically be sent a CD-ROM containing both the demo and the
- commercial version of Executor. The demo version will be on the
- CD-ROM so it will be easy for Executor owners to leave a demo copy on
- a friend's machine. We greatly appreciate the word of mouth
- advertising that many of our current customers do for us.
-
- We are adopting these changes because too many serial numbers and
- passwords have been found on bulletin boards and even Usenet groups.
- In addition to s/n and keys, there are also cracks that bypass the
- timer code. Since code will be missing from the demo version, cracks
- that just bypass the timer still won't result in a fully-functional
- demo version. It will still be possible for people to illegally copy
- the commercial version, but it will require more modem time and it
- will be easier to prosecute violaters.
