‚àë CHESS 5 LITE & PRO
====================
‚àë Chess 5 comes in two different versions: ‚àë Chess 5 Lite and ‚àë Chess 5 Pro.
‚àë Chess 5 Lite is freeware and can be downloaded from the ‚àë Chess web-site
http://www.sigmachess.com. Certain high-end features from the commercial version are either
disabled or limited in this free version. Nevertheless, it's a complete, full-strength chess
program with many features; it's not just a demo. If you're a casual chess player without the need
for special features, chances are that ‚àë Chess 5 Lite will do just fine.
‚àë Chess 5 Pro is not freeware, but a full featured commercial product. You must pay the $15
fee in order to register and become a legal owner of this version (see below for details on how to
register). Before deciding to buy and upgrade to the Pro version, we recommend that you stick
with ‚àë Chess 5 Lite for a while, and get familiar with the program. This way you won't end up
paying for something that really wasn't what you expected.
The division of ‚àë Chess 5 into Lite and Pro versions resembles the shareware concept in many
ways, but there are some important differences:
• The Lite version is time-unlimited freeware: You can use it for as long as you like, not just for
e.g. 30 days as for shareware products.
• Although some features are disabled/limited in the Lite version, it is still a complete,
full-strength chess program.
• When/if you upgrade to the commercial Pro version by paying the small $15 fee, you'll not only
relieve your conscience (after all) and make the author of ‚àë Chess happy :-), you will also
benefit from all the new features which were disabled/limited in the Lite version.
LICENSE AGREEMENT
==================
Although ‚àë Chess 5 Lite is freeware, it is copyrighted and NOT in the public domain. It may not be
modified in any way and may thus only be distributed in its original form (the "sigma-chess-5.sit"
file). It may not be sold, or included on a CD-ROM or any other physical media without explicit
permission by the author.
‚àë Chess 5 Pro is NOT freeware, it is copyrighted and may not be redistributed in any way: It's
illegal to upgrade ‚àë Chess 5 on two or more computers using the same Serial Number and License
Key.
Unless explicitly otherwise stated the above license also applies to all subsequent versions of
‚àë Chess 5.x Lite & Pro.
