REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Registration Procedure:
Dustbowl Designs, Inc. 3_Drives.HDD device driver is a complete and
fully functional Shareware program. You are invited to try and test
the device driver for a time period of 14 days (2 weeks) in its
unregistered status. After this 14 day trail period, the device
driver must be registered with Dustbowl Designs, Inc. or disengaged.
Unlike the flexibility provided in Shareware Applications for
registration reminders, a Shareware Device Driver is often out of
sight and out of mind. So, please take care to remember that you are
still obliged to follow the rules of the 14 day trail period. This
shareware version requires the user to press a specific key to
continue the boot process and displays a "Don't Delay, Register Today"
reminder. Registered versions boot through without ANY delays,
whatsoever.
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 beyond
the trial period, you are expected to register.
Copyright laws apply to Shareware software products, and the copyright
holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
below. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
the software, either to all or to a specific group. For example, some
authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
copy their Shareware products.
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 do not use the product, you do not pay for it.
3_Drives is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
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 continue to use 3_Drives after 14 days, you must make a
registration payment of $30.00 to Dustbowl Designs, Inc.. Payment of
the registration fee will license one copy of v2.1 for use on any one
computer at any one time. You have the option at registration time to
opt to register the enhanced 4_Drives v2.1.
Registered version features:
* Ultra-fast program loading without delays or required user
intervention.
* Program supports up to 10 logical drives per physical drive.
* Includes 4_Park, a four drive head parking utility.
* Discount on version upgrades.
* Access to advanced technical support and registered user sections
of our support BBS.
* Postscript version of the documentation.
You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that
this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely
moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no
possibility of it being used at one location while it is being used at
another.
Commercial users of 3_Drives must register and pay for their copies of
3_Drives within 14 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Dustbowl Designs,
Inc..
Anyone distributing 3_Drives v1.5 for any kind of remuneration must first
contact Dustbowl Designs, Inc. at the address below for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
distributors, and such distributors may begin offering 3_Drives v1.5
immediately (However Dustbowl Designs, Inc. must still be advised so
that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of
3_Drives).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of 3_Drives v1.5 shareware
distribution ZIP file along to your friends for evaluation. Please
encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use
it.
We have studied hundreds of shareware products in order to determine a
mutually acceptable registration fee. This wonderful device driver
does provide a true enhancement to your system and likely allows you
to derive benefit and system uses otherwise impossible. Therefore, we
have established the following registration fees:
