Keyware and License information
-------------------------------
SatTrack is provided as KEYWARE. KEYWARE is intended to provide you
the best demonstration of the features of the program while still
allowing for the support for further development. KEYWARE relies on a
set of "keys" in a file that are verified by the program. Each set of
keys is specific to the user. This tends to prevent the distribution
of the software by licensed users, since the user's name, address and
phone number is displayed during the startup of the program. DEMO
keys are provided which will work but contain an expiration date. The
SatTrack program will not operate after that date. DEMO keys also
cause SatTrack to be more and more inaccurate as time goes on.
(Registered users receive keys that NEVER expire, will work on ANY new
versions and have NO REDUCTION IN ACCURACY over time) If you are
interested in obtaining a registered set of keys, order early.
A short assessment of KEYWARE is provided:
o Full features available, no disabled features in the demo.
o Copy protected via the display of the Licensees name and phone
number. This tends to make users less likely to "loan" the
software to other people when they cannot be sure that they will
not in turn "loan" it to other people. Resulting in pirated
software with YOUR name on it. Don't loan your license keys to
anyone, don't take the risk.
o Registered users can get new versions automatically via GEnie, BBS
and other telecommunication methods. This assures the registered
users' quick bug fixes since the author does not have to mail out
copies to all the users. A new version can be installed using
original set of registered keys, a registered user can obtain new
version SatTrack via any means.
o Software key protection can be broken, if you have knowledge of:
Keplerian Orbital Mechanics, 68000 machine code, Key technology and
any tricks by the author. Amiga users are some of the greatest
computer enthusiast in the world, only a certain type person can
fully understand the Amiga; a person like you. If you think you
are qualified enough to break the protection schema of SatTrack,
think about this; The efforts should take several hours at best.
The completion of the task is always uncertain. If think you can
break in, consider spending your time producing a useful
contribution to the Amiga. If you need ideas, give me a call, I
have many. I don't have the time to produce them all, maybe you
can!
CAUTION: attempting to change the keys or the address information will
cause the program to abort or change several geographical or physical
values resulting in incorrect tracking. DEMO keys will cause the
program to become less accurate as time goes on. Consider becoming a
registered user.
