Keyware and License information ------------------------------- SatTrack is provided as KEYWARE. KEYWARE is intended to provide you the best demonstration of the features of the program while still allowing for the support for further development. KEYWARE relies on a set of "keys" in a file that are verified by the program. Each set of keys is specific to the user. This tends to prevent the distribution of the software by licensed users, since the user's name, address and phone number is displayed during the startup of the program. DEMO keys are provided which will work but contain an expiration date. The SatTrack program will not operate after that date. DEMO keys also cause SatTrack to be more and more inaccurate as time goes on. (Registered users receive keys that NEVER expire, will work on ANY new versions and have NO REDUCTION IN ACCURACY over time) If you are interested in obtaining a registered set of keys, order early. A short assessment of KEYWARE is provided: o Full features available, no disabled features in the demo. o Copy protected via the display of the Licensees name and phone number. This tends to make users less likely to "loan" the software to other people when they cannot be sure that they will not in turn "loan" it to other people. Resulting in pirated software with YOUR name on it. Don't loan your license keys to anyone, don't take the risk. o Registered users can get new versions automatically via GEnie, BBS and other telecommunication methods. This assures the registered users' quick bug fixes since the author does not have to mail out copies to all the users. A new version can be installed using original set of registered keys, a registered user can obtain new version SatTrack via any means. o Software key protection can be broken, if you have knowledge of: Keplerian Orbital Mechanics, 68000 machine code, Key technology and any tricks by the author. Amiga users are some of the greatest computer enthusiast in the world, only a certain type person can fully understand the Amiga; a person like you. If you think you are qualified enough to break the protection schema of SatTrack, think about this; The efforts should take several hours at best. The completion of the task is always uncertain. If think you can break in, consider spending your time producing a useful contribution to the Amiga. If you need ideas, give me a call, I have many. I don't have the time to produce them all, maybe you can! CAUTION: attempting to change the keys or the address information will cause the program to abort or change several geographical or physical values resulting in incorrect tracking. DEMO keys will cause the program to become less accurate as time goes on. Consider becoming a registered user. ====================================================================== License information ORDER INFORMATION: ------------------ There are two options when registering for permanent personalized keys.
