REGISTRATION INFORMATION
PC+ Registration Procedure:
PC+ Company 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 PC+ Company 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.
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 $20.00 to PC+ Company. Payment of the
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at
any one time.
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 con- tacting PC+ Company.
Anyone distributing 3_Drives for any kind of remuneration must first
contact PC+ Company 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 immediately (However
PC+ Company 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 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:
3_Drives.HDD $20.00 (US $) we send a registration key code by
return mail.
4_Drives.HDD $30.00 (US $) we send a diskette by return mail.
3 to 4 upgrade $10.00 (US $) we send a diskette by return mail.
Corporate Site licenses and custom OEM versions available.
Oklahoma residents must also add state tax at 6.5%.
You can send a check or money order, or use Visa/MasterCard. If you
are mailing in a credit card order be sure to give us the information
on your credit card, including name, type of card (Visa), your card
number INCLUDING expiration date. Also, please sign the order.
Thanks for your support!
