Lochness Solitaire is distributed as a shareware program. You are free to give away complete, unmodified copies of the program and its files as long as you do NOT receive money or other consideration for it. You are also free to try the game yourself for 10 days before you buy it. But at the end of the 10-day evaluation period, you are required to make a decision: either delete it from your computer, or register it by sending a license / registration fee of $7 to the author.
Of course, nothing disatrous is going to happen if you fail to register your copy of Lochness. But some good things will happen if you do! For instance, the 30 game limit will be removed, and the 10 second countdown timer that appears on the introduction screen will go away. You'll also be entitled to free upgrades to future versions of Lochness. Not to mention the peace of mind you'll experience from knowing that you've done the right thing.
Lochness only costs $7 -- that's less than the price of a pizza! But your contribution to the "pizza fund" will help me continue to write and improve shareware games like Lochness. It helps pay for the Lochness web site (http://www.haversack.com/lochness). And it also gives you a chance to give me feedback and make suggestions for the game. You want all this, don't you? Then register today!
