Registration Information
Hermes II is distributed as keyware. Keyware is a system where you, the user, can use Hermes II for 30 days without registering the application and entering your unique serial number. After this trial period, if you want to use it, you must send in the registration fee. When you register, you will receive a serial number that allows you to use the product further. If you attempt to use the product beyond the trial period without a serial number, the software will not function. Your thirty days starts the first time you boot any version of the program. There are several ways to register. The first is to simply log on to Olympus, the Hermes II Support BBS, and register with your Master Card or Visa. Master Card and Visa purchases are normally processed within 48 hours after entry. You may also send a money order or cashier's check. They are processed immediatly. The last option is to send a personal check, but allow up to 10 days for this to clear after receipt. You will be notified on the support BBS that we have received your presonal check. Your serial number must be obtained from the Hermes Support BBS. No notices of upgrades are mailed out to registered customers but all updated versions will be available on the tech support BBS.
The keyware fee is $125.00 for a license to operate Hermes II. This license is sold to the original purchaser and is not transferable. It cannot be resold, traded or given to a third party. The only way to purchase this program is directly from Arachnoware.
Unless registered, the program will stop allowing users to log on after 30 days. To register, call the Hermes II support BBS and register online with your Visa or Master Card, or send a money order, cashier's check, or personal check along with the person, company or BBS name that you want the copy registered under to the following address:
Arachnoware
P.O. Box 1252
American Fork, UT 84003
If your check is not drawn in US Funds on a US Bank, it can't be accepted. Foreign banks will be able to produce such checks upon request. You should include your Olympus tech support BBS user number with your registration fee as all serial numbers are distributed from the support BBS.
Support BBS
You can reach Olympus BBS at the following number:
You should establish an account on the support BBS listed above. Not only are serial numbers distributed via the BBS, updated version are made available there and it provides an invaluable source of information and Hermes II support. There are hundreds of users there exchanging advice on how to get the most out of Hermes II. All sysops will benefit from this BBS, and you can always download the latest version there. Unregistered users may establish an account for 30 days. If they do not register by that time, their account will be deleted. Unregistered accounts have restriced access, but may download the latest version, modem drivers, and other files necessary for basic setup.
Upgrades
Obviously, every customer has a modem, so there should be no problem in obtraining the latest version from Olympus. Hermes II is updated too often to send out new versions by mail. However, if you are a foreign customer or have some other special case where you are unable to log on to the support BBS, we will make exceptions. If you send a formatted disk with a self addressed stamped envelope, it will be returned with the latest version of the program and manual. You must be a registered customer to do this.
Updated versions are normally released every 2-4 months. They are always available on the support BBS and are uploaded to AOL and Compuserve. The latest version is also normally available from several other Internet sites. Although many upgrades are released free of charge to registered customers, some versions may have an upgrade fee. Registered customers are licensed to use the version they first registered and although some free upgrades have been given, no guareantee of free upgraded is made.
