You may use and evaluate this program for a period of 30 days. After
such time you must either dispose of the program or register as a
user via the Agentware method of registration.
The Agentware method of registration is designed to encourage users to
register the software they use by allowing them to participate in the
success of any program which uses the Agentware registration method.
How the system operates.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Located on the disk is a file containing the names of people who have
registered as users of the program. These people are referred to as
AGENTS. Every time the program is run this file is loaded - it may
contain between 1 to 4 Agents. To register as a user of this software you
must send the fee of TWO POUNDS to each agent. There may only be 1 agent
on your particular disk, so it may cost as little as two pounds to
register your software and become an agent.
A list of the Agents who have already registered can be found at any time
by selecting the menu item CURRENT AGENT LIST from the Agentware menu.
What you get in return for registering.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you register each agent will send you a unique set of code numbers.
When you have codes from all the agents who are listed in your copy of the
program you should select INPUT CODES from the menu. You must now enter
the code numbers you have been given by each agent. If all is correct
you will be asked to supply your name and address. When this is done
you will be given your own unique code number. You will now have become
an agent and your name will be added to the Agent list and saved to
disk. You will become Agent number 1 and all other agents will be moved
up a number. Since the system will only allow 4 Agents to take part in
the system whoever was Agent 4 will be removed from the disk.
How do you benefit ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an Agent it is now in your interest to distribute as many copies of
your disk as possible. Since your name now appears on the Agent list
you will now receive part of the registration fee when a user registers
a copy of the disk you have distributed. Since your name will stay on the
disk till you reach the postion of Agent 4 you will also receive
registration fees from the distribution disks of those who register
below you. Your could receive registrations from a great many disks
As an Agent you are ensuring the future production of low cost software
from Prediction in Silicon. These programs will be made available to
those who register early enough.
How do I register and become an Agent?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To register this software and take advantage of this system by becoming
an Agent you must send the sum of two pounds to each agent on your
program disk. If you have an early copy of the program this may cost
as little as two pounds. The registration procedure is as follows:
1] Select AGENTWARE from the main menu then select CURRENT AGENT LIST.
Make a note of the address of each Agent on your disk. You can also
print out the address by selecting PRINT from the menu.
2] To EACH Agent on the program you will need to send a STAMPED SELF
ADDRESSED ENVELOPE plus a cheque or Postal Order for the sum of TWO
POUNDS. It is not advisable to send cash through the post. Enclose
a note which states that you wish to register as a user of the program.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO STATE WHICH PROGRAM YOU ARE REGISTERING AS THERE
MAYBE MORE THAN ONE PROGRAM USING THE AGENTWARE SYSTEM.
Please write in the Top Left hand corner of your return envelope
the number of the Agent to whom you are writing. This will make it
easy to identify which Agent sent which code numbers. It also allows
Agents to judge their progress through the system.
3] When you have the code numbers from all Agents in your possession
you can select INPUT CODES from the Agentware menu. When prompted
you should type in the codes provided by the Agents on your disk.
If all is correct a screen will appear which will allow you to
enter your name and address plus any other message. You only have
one chance to do this so please make sure your name and address
are correct before clicking on CANCEL. Your unique set of code
numbers will now appear. PLEASE WRITE DOWN THESE NUMBERS AND KEEP
THEM IN A SAFE PLACE. THEY WILL ONLY BE ISSUED ONCE.
4] Place your original program disk in drive df0: MAKE SURE THE DISK
IS WRITE ENABLED. The modified Agent_file will be saved to disk
with your name appearing as Agent number 1. YOU CAN NOW BEGIN TO
DISTRIBUTE YOUR OWN COPY OF THE PROGRAM ON WHICH YOU WILL RECEIVE
REGISTRATION FEES.
Your responsibilities as an Agent
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an Agent you must ensure that you deal with registration requests
as quickly as possible. Do not delay in returning your code numbers - you
will only be slowing down your own distribution network. You must not
disclose the code numbers of any other Agents. You must only supply
your own set of code numbers as issued by the program.
