Shareware Registration ZipIt is not free. You may test ZipIt for a period of one month, and then you must pay the shareware fee of $15. After you pay the fee, you will receive a password that will disable the registration dialog box that you receive upon starting ZipIt. Customers in the United States and Canada will also be able to encrypt and decrypt files within zip archives. Customers in French-speaking countries may want to contact me for more information about a French version of ZipIt.. Individual Registrations Individuals may register ZipIt in one of four ways: I. By telephone: You will need three numbers for this method: your credit card, ZipIt’s product number, and your SoftLock ID. Your SoftLock ID can be found by launching ZipIt and reading the information in the registration screen. The 8-digit number in bold characters is your SoftLock ID. (If there is no 8-digit number, or ZipIt reports “none,” then you cannot use this method.) ZipIt’s product number is either 30021 if you are a resident of either the United States or Canada, or 30022 otherwise. Dial 1-800-SOFTLOCK and answer the questions. Time to receive password: Password given instantly Password sent via: Immediately, over the phone Requirements: Credit Card or SoftLock voucher II. CompuServe: At any menu, type GO SWREG. Choose “Register Shareware,” then search by ID. ZipIt’s CompuServe ID is 1677. Time to receive password: Approximately two weeks Password sent via: CompuServe mail Requirements: CompuServe account III. US Mail: Inside ZipIt, click “Print Registration Form…” Fill out the form, and mail it, along with a $15 check or money order, to the address listed in the first section of this document. (The address is also listed on the registration form.) Users outside of the United States and Canada may send $15 in cash, United States currency, at their own risk. Domestic users, please do not send cash. All checks must be drawn on a United States or Canadian bank in U.S. currency. If you cannot print a registration form, please include a note with your name, address, telephone number, ZipIt version (available in the about box), where you obtained ZipIt, and how you can be reached, if at all, online. You must include all of this information. Time to receive password: 4-8 weeks Password sent via: Email, if possible; otherwise postal mail Requirements: Check If possible, please try to register using one of the other methods. IV. NetCash: First, obtain your NetCash. For details, send email to netbank-info@agents.com. Once you have the NetCash, please fill out the registration form (located in the file “Registration Form” included with ZipIt) and send it via email to tbrown@dorsai.org. Time to receive password: Approximately two weeks Password sent via: Email Requirements: NetCash If you opt for method II, III, or IV, and you have an online address, please check these services regularly to be sure you receive your password. If you do not receive your password within 8 weeks, please leave me a message. Note: If you own Freddie — the Macintosh QWK reader by Kem Tekinay — v.1.2.5 or above, follow the instructions in Freddie’s documentation instead of the above instructions to register ZipIt along with Freddie. Note: Your SoftLock ID (method I) is based on a fingerprint of your hard disk. That means that, if you register using this method, you will not be able to use ZipIt on any other computer. In addition, if you format your hard disk, or it crashes, you will need to contact me for a replacement password. Please write down your SoftLock ID before registering and keep it in a safe place. Legal notice: The shareware fee is for ZipIt as a package. Technically, thefee covers only those portions of ZipIt that are copyrighted by Tommy Brown. The code to zip and unzip files is copyrighted by others, as noted elsewhere in this documentation, and those portions of ZipIt are free. Corporate Registrations If you are registering ZipIt for your own private use within a company, then you may register as an individual. However, if there is to be more than one person using ZipIt, then you must read this section. Please indicate your own name on the registration form, and your company’s name in the “Organization” area. You must register via U.S. Mail (method III above). Send $15 per copy of ZipIt you want registered. For example, if you estimate that 5 people will be using ZipIt, send $75. Also, please indicate somewhere on the registration form the number of registrations you’re ordering, and that you want ZipIt to be registered to your company. Please read the section on site licenses below as well. Site Licenses: For small organizations that exist in one physical site, you may obtain a site license for $225. This will grant you the right to use of ZipIt at one physical location. Other arrangements can also be made, including distribution to more than one site of an organization, or registering a larger-scale organization. In this case, a customized version of ZipIt would be created. If you are interested, please contact me. Distribution Licenses: ZipIt may be distributed freely, provided that it is unaltered and distributed with its original accompanying files. Registered versions of ZipIt may not be distributed. If you would like to pre-register ZipIt for inclusion with your software, please contact me. ZipIt may not be sold for profit, nor modified and redistributed, without my prior permission.
