Deactivate

Deactivate (Registered Version Only)

The Deactivate button in the lower right corner of the Registration dialog allows you to convert a registered version of Executive Desk  back to an UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE version.

Why anyone would want to convert a registered version back to a shareware version?

Well, the answer is simple.  Suppose you had registered Executive Desk and wanted to give a copy to your friend to evaluate.  Legally, you cant give them a registered version.  Besides, you wouldnt  want someone else to use a copy with your name embedded in the title bar anyway.

Before you use this option, make sure you have your activation code written down somewhere so you can convert Executive Desk back to a registered version.

About Shareware

This software is NOT free.  It is copyrighted material; however, it is distributed as shareware.  As such, the UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE version may be freely copied and distributed.

Contrary to popular belief, Shareware is a kind of marketing -- not a kind of software.  The only conceptual difference between commercial software and shareware is that with shareware you are allowed to try the software, for a limited period, before you buy it --- TRY-B4U-BUY.

When you install Executive Desk for the first time, you are automatically granted a 30-day evaluation period, during which to determine if  Executive Desk is of value to you.

At the end of the evaluation period, if you continue to use Executive Desk, you MUST register it.  Failure to do so is in violation of copyright law and international treaties.

Why Register?

There are lots of great reasons to register shareware.  Here are just a few reasons for registering

Executive Desk:

Reason # 1: Registration is Easy and Fast

Advanced activation code technology now makes instant registrations possible.  With a VISA or

MASTERCARD and a quick, toll-free call you can transform your current UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE version of Executive Desk into the full-featured registered version in seconds.  If you don't have a major credit card, simply drop an e-mail line to us and you will receive your activation code in a flash (usually 24 hours).  If all else fails, fill out the registration form and send it with check, money order or credit card information via USMAIL.

Reason # 2: Additional Features

Let us say, first of all, that the unregistered shareware version of Executive Desk is a fully-functioning and unrestricted product.  It is not crippled in any way.  That said, when you register Executive Desk you get some extra functionality. Here are a few.

-Splash screen disabling:  The unregistered version is not restricted; however, the opening splash screens (or dialogs) can be a bit annoying after a time.  Registering allows you to turn off splash screens so Executive Desk can load faster

-Professionally Bound Printed Manual : You will receive a complete manual for easy reference. Besides describing the features in detail, the manual also tells you how to get maximum value out of this software.

-Latest Update : Dont worry if you dont have the latest version of EXECUTIVE DESK. Upon registration, you will receive the latest update with newly added features, if any.

-FREE Bonus Booklet: You will also receive a free booklet titled WORKING SMARTER specially written by the author of EXECUTIVE DESK for the registered users. This booklet will provide you useful tips on effective Time Management and organize you to make the best use of your time.

Reason # 3: Technical Support

Executive Desk is designed to be powerful yet easy to use.  Users of even the best software occasionally require technical help, however.  Registration affords you access to our e-mail address and telephone technical support staff.  Do not call for technical assistance if you have not registered Executive Desk.

Reason # 4: Free Updates, Big Upgrade Discounts

Between version major releases, there are likely to be countless interim and maintenance releases of Executive Desk (4.xx).  When you register, you will be able to use your activation code again and again to convert shareware versions to licensed versions for free.  And, best of all, when the next major release is available you will receive big discounts of as much as 50% on upgrades.

Reason # 5: Legalities

As is stated in the opening shareware license splash, if you use Executive Desk beyond the evaluation period, you must register it.  In other words, if you use Executive Desk for more than 30 days without registering it, you are in violation of federal copyright law (and/or international treaties).
