GPG LICENSE.TXT Page 1 The software package offered by GPG contains programs with capabilities designed to manage working environments and files. Failure to follow documentation, or improper use of the programs can result in deletion, damage to, or loss of files. The user assumes full responsibility for choosing to use GPG software (see liability notice, below). Shareware copies of GPG software may be used for a trial period of up to 21 days, in order to evaluate the software package before purchasing it. The evaluation period begins when you first install the program on one or more computers (as many as is necessary for purposes of evaluation). After the 21 day period expires, you agree to either buy a registered copy of the program, or to discontinue use of the program on all machines used to evaluate it. If you decide to buy the program, you may continue to use your shareware copy until your registered copy arrives. If you are evaluating a shareware copy of GPG programs, you are free to make copies of the software package for distribution to other users, providing you include all the files you received with your shareware copy. You agree to inform the recipient that the shareware is for a limited time evaluation purpose only, and they must buy a registered copy of the program if they wish to continue using it after the evaluation period expires. You further agree not to sell shareware copies of GPG software, nor receive any kind of fee or compensation for distributing copies. Note, licensed shareware dealers should refer to the file VENDOR.TXT supplied with the distribution. BBS administrators should refer to the file BBS.TXT for GPG policy for bulletin boards. Registered copies may be bought directly from GPG, or through an authorized software dealer. Shareware users also have the option of converting shareware copies into registered versions using a registration code provided by GPG. Registered copies may be purchased for use on individual computers, or for multiple computers through a site license registration. Single registered copies are for use on a single computer, and may also be installed on a portable computer owned by the licensee, providing the computers are not generally in use at the same time. If you purchase a multi-system license, or network site license, you agree not to use the software on more computers than indicated on your license or invoice of the licensed GPG product at any one time. Registered copies of GPG software diskettes may be duplicated for normal backup purposes. You agree not to make other copies of the software, or any part of them, and agree not to sell or give away registered copies of the software to others, without our advance written permission.
