Z-Write is commercial software. It may be previewed for up to 30 days for free. After that, however, you are expected to purchase a license to continue using it. Z-Write will function for two weeks without limitations of any kind. After two weeks, Z-Write will remind you to register at every launch. After 30 days, Z-Write becomes a demonstration version.
Using Z-Write on Multiple Macs
Use Z-Write like you would a printed book -- as long as there's no way that two licensed copies of Z-Write are in use on two or more machines at the same time, you're free to make extra copies for other machines (i.e. install it at work and at home, or on a laptop and a desktop). However, if more than one copy if Z-Write is being used at the same time, you are required to purchase separate licenses for each computer (quantity discounts available). Stone Table Software offers Z-Write site licenses for companies wishing to install Z-Write on all their computers.
Limitations to the Demonstration Version
Stone Table Software feels strongly that users should never be prevented from accessing their data. Therefore the demonstration version of Z-Write is not save disabled; it will still allow you to use the program to print, edit, and export your Z-Write files.
However, the demonstration version has the following limitations:
1. Registration reminders at every launch.
2. You may not create more than five (5) Sections. If you have a document
with more than five Sections, all five will be available, but you will not
be able to add any more. If you delete a Section but still have more
than five, you still won’t be able to add any more. This means you
can still use your previously created Z-Write files, but you won’t be able
to add more Sections until you delete enough to have less than five.
3. The “Duplicate Section,” “Merge Sections,” and “Rearrange Sections”
commands are disabled.
4. Printed documents will contain a “Printed with a Demonstration Version
of Z-Write” header (overriding any existing header).
It is hoped that these limitations are enough to encourage users to register while still allowing the program to be useful as a demonstration of its capabilities.
