*********************************************** * * * ARIS Version Tracking System Version 1.3 * * * *********************************************** 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 $50. Checks must be made payable to Alexander Riedel. Checks must be drawn on any US or German bank. For checks of other countries please add $3 handling fee. You will be sent by return mail a registered copy of the latest version of AVTS with hard copy of the user's manual. This registered version also contains a small utility that converts projects created with AVTS versions prior to 1.3 the new new file formats. Registration also entitles you to user support by mail or CompuServe E-mail for at least one year, to a free copy by mail of the next major update to AVTS. You may order your registration by one of several ways: o Directly, by sending cash, check or money order to Alexander Riedel Informations-Systeme Parkstr. 2 D-85646 Anzing Germany o You may also register online if you are a CompuServe member. Type GO SWREG and use registration ID #579. The amount charged by CompuServe includes shipping via air mail. 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 $50 registration may be extended to any number of additional users at the rate of $12.50 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 $25 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.
