Registration Benefits
Thank you for enduring the legalities. They are there to protect
us, and also to convince you that this is our business, from which
we expect to make a living. We'll now return to a softer sell, to
try to make you want to register for our product.
In practical reality, it is up to you to decide to register : you
are "on your honor". Also in practical reality, most users who ought
to register haven't, yet. For most, it's not dishonesty but merely procrastination. So we have provided some incentives, to prod you
into registering.
One incentive technical support, which only registered users
can purchase. If you get stuck somehow, you will be able to call
for help. The technical support number will be sent to you upon
receiving your registration. Bug fixes will be sent automatically
to registered users.
Some of you will think of things needing to be added
to enhance the product.
Only registered users will be given opportunity to upgrade at a
reduced fee.
Also, the shareware version of dTimer is a single user version.
You may register for the multi-user version by sending a $85
registration fee. This will allow unlimited users on a single
machine to track their time. Once again, each machine you install
dTimer on must be registered to be legal.
A network version is in the works and all registered users will
be notified when it is available.

Finally, there are the intangible incentives. You know you've
done the right thing. You're letting us know that you appreciate
what we've done. You're letting the world know that quality
software can succeed when distributed as shareware.
PLEASE contact us if you find bugs in our programs; we'll fix them!
It's very frustrating to hear about people telling each other
about bugs, and not telling us.
