Pinochle 4.0 is copyright (c) 1994-98 by Christopher Chapman. All rights are reserved. This pre-beta version may not be redistributed.
This program is shareware, which means that you may try it for free, but are required to register it for a small fee ($15) if you use it for more than 15 days, except for the exclusions listed below.
A license to use this UNREGISTERED program is granted to any individual for a period of 15 days. The unregistered form of the program is fully functional but places a limit on the total number of unique games that may be played (25 total). Users at educational institutions, students, members and employees of the U.S. military, retired military personnel, and those employed as staff or faculty of educational institutions may continue to use the UNREGISTERED program after 15 days, although the unique game limitation will continue to apply. This program is licensed to individual users, not to companies, institutions, or other corporate entities.
The registered form of the program expands the number of available unique games to 99,999,999. Otherwise, the registered and unregistered versions are identical. The registered version may be activated by one-time input of a registration available from the author upon payment of a $15 licensing fee.
Registered users may use the program on any computer that they own or use routinely. For example, a single license is sufficient to allow use of the program on computers at work, at home, and on portable systems. A single license also is sufficient for all members of a household and all computers that they use, and for all users of a single properly licensed computer (e.g., co-workers sharing a single computer). However, a single license does NOT apply to: multiple computers used principally by people who live in different households, nor to any network server that makes the program available to multiple people outside of a residence, nor to non-licensed users of any computer that a licensed user only occasionally uses (e.g., a computer at work that is mostly used by others).
This program is licensed to individual users, not to companies, institutions, or other corporate entities.
No warranties, either express or implied, are made about this program or its fitness for any particular purpose. The author will not be liable for any direct or indirect damages that may arise from use or misuse of this program. All risk for use of this program resides with the user. Users should determine fitness for their own needs, and should register only if the program meets those needs. In no case will any liability exceed the amount paid to register this program. Also, because the program is licensed to individuals and not to companies, no liability may exist with respect to any company. The license as stated here constitutes the complete agreement between the author and user. Some states may exclude some aspects of this agreement, so user rights may vary from state to state.
To register the program for complete function, follow the instructions in the online HELP | REGISTER command from within the program, or read the file REGISTER.TXT included with the program.
