Registering Ultra Logic

Ultra logic is being distributed using the shareware concept. If you have been using Ultra Logic for more than 21 days you must register. Registration is very easy and fully automated. All you have to do is fill out the registration form (Help|Registration Form menu).  After completing the form, print it by clicking the print button and send it with the registration fee to the author. The author’s address and the total registration amount can be found on the form itself.

After the author receives your registration you will be sent a special registration number which you will be able to enter  into the Registration Code dialog (Help|Enter Reg Number menu). After verifying the code Ultra Logic will register itself and all the features will be fully enabled. The same registration number can also be used in all future versions which can be obtained for free via the Internet (see Where can I find the newest version)?


License Agreement

Users of Ultra Logic (“program”) must accept this disclaimer of warranty: The program is supplied as is.  The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of the program.

The program 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 the Programmers to continue to develop new products.  If you find this the program useful and find that you are using the program and continue to use the program after the trial period (21 days), you must make a registration payment of 5 US$ to Vitaly Livshits (“author”).  The 5 US$ 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's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of the program along to your friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it.
