Registration

This section covers registration issues, such as the shareware concept, pricing, how to register and methods of payment.

You must register iMalc and pay the shareware fee if you intend to continue using iMalc.

Shareware

iMalc is shareware. So what is shareware? Firstly, shareware is NOT free software. You have to pay for it like everything else. Shareware is a method of software distribution that allows software authors to share their endeavours with you in a cheap and easy way.

Shareware is effectively try before you buy. This means that you can try the software free for a trial period before deciding whether you want to keep on using the software. A period of 30 days is reasonable. After 20 uses, iMalc will start reminding you to register. After the trial period, if you decide to keep on using iMalc you must register and pay the shareware fee, or you must delete iMalc and its associated files from your hard drive.

Shareware also means you can share a program with a friend, so long as you give them all of the files that accompany iMalc. They, of course, like you, have to pay a shareware fee if they continue to use the software.

Most shareware authors donÕt earn a fortune. But the fees they do receive provide an incentive to keep producing and updating software that might otherwise be unavailable. Shareware relies on your honesty to succeed.
