Registering Nexus 2000:
-----------------------
Nexus 2000 is a shareware game. You may evaluate it free for 30 days but if you decide to keep it, you must register. You can register Nexus 2000 either online with your credit card or offline with credit card, check or money order at a cost of just US$14.95. All Registrations are handled through RegSoft.com Inc.(Duluth, GA, USA). See How to Register.htm for complete information. After you register you will be emailed a lifetime registration key which will turn your current shareware copy of Nexus 2000 and all future upgrades into a fully licensed version.
Incentives for Registering:
---------------------------
╖ The about box will no longer pop up when Nexus 2000 is first launched.
╖ The Super Undo feature will be activated.
╖ The cheat features will cost much less to use.
╖ Registering will allow me to continue to develop Nexus 2000 further adding yet more options for your enjoyment and not to mention, ease your guilty conscience :-).
╖ All references to Nexus 2000 being shareware will be removed from the program including the Register menu option and the Buy Me! message. The help file contains no mention of registering the program so after you register, you will have a clean fully licensed version with no references to your need to register.
I tried not to limit the shareware version too excessively but still leave you with some incentive to register. I feel I've achieved a fair compromise as the Super Undo is the only feature which isn't available and although the cheat services cost a bit more in the shareware version, they're still cheap enough to use allowing you to get a full feel of the game.
