SHAREWARE - "USER SUPPORTED" SOFTWARE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareware, sometimes called "user supported" software, is a distribution
method, not a type of software. It is "try before you buy" software.
The essence of user supported software is to provide computer users with
quality software without high prices, and yet provide incentive for
programmers to continue to develop new products.
Copyright laws apply to shareware and commercial software alike.
Shareware authors, however, grant you limited rights to copy and
distribute the software. These rights vary with different authors and
programs, but serve to give you and others a chance to try the software
before buying it.
The shareware concept depends on the support of its users. After a
specified trial period, if you decide to keep using a shareware program,
you are expected to send in the requested payment to register with the
author. These funds reward the authors for their valuable work, and
fuels their future endeavors - support, new programs, new and better
features. With shareware, you get the ultimate money-back guarantee -
if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CADET AS SHAREWARE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wasco Technical Software has made a version of CADET available as
shareware. After you acquire the CADET shareware, you may take up to 21
days to evaluate it, free. The shareware version of CADET displays a
registration reminder screen, describing the allowed evaluation period
and registration requirement. CADET shareware is complete and fully
functional - it is not crippled in any way.
You must send payment to license CADET in order to use it beyond the
shareware evaluation period. Site-license arrangements are available.
Registered users receive the retail version of CADET, product support,
new product notices, and upgrade discounts. The retail version of CADET
is serialized and does not display a shareware screen. For pricing,
print the accompanying file REGISTER.DOC file or contact Wasco Technical
Software for an order form.
CADET shareware may be copied and passed around, but only in its
complete, original, and unaltered form with all disk-based documentation
intact. Feel free to share CADET shareware with your friends and
associates, and encourage them to register their copy if they find that
they can use it. You may not bundle CADET shareware as part of a
system, service or sale without permission from Wasco Technical
Software. Serialized retail versions of CADET may not be distributed.
If you would like a copy of the shareware version to share with others,
please call or write.
Anyone other than ASP vendor members who wish to distribute CADET
shareware for any kind of remuneration must first contact Wasco
Technical Software for authorization. Vendor members of the Association
of Shareware Professionals may begin distributing CADET shareware
immediately, but should advise us if they wish to be kept up-to-date
with the latest version.
You can always find the latest shareware distribution of CADET in the
CompuServe AutoCAD forum (!GO ACAD), library 8 or 9. Registered CADET
users who wish to join Compuserve can sign up for a FREE Compuserve
Intropak with $15.00 usage credit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registered CADET users receive support for a minimum of three months
from the date of registration. Contact us by voice mail, fax, regular
mail, or electronic mail via Compuserve (we check Compuserve mail on a
regular basis). We are interested in hearing suggestions from anyone
who has tried CADET. We value your suggestions and try to implement as
many as we can.
If you have encountered a problem, please try to give us enough
information to verify or duplicate it. Explain in detail the keystrokes
executed and what you perceive the problem to be. It is important to
describe your hardware, AutoCAD version, and any TSR programs or other
AutoLISP programs you may have loaded. We attempt to find and remedy
any CADET software problems, but cannot promise compatibility with all
hardware or software environments.
