 This  file  contains   important  licensing, registration and
 evaluation information about the SPLOT for Windows program.

 SPLOT  is  distributed  as  "Shareware"  or  "User  Supported
 Software" and is fully copyrighted.  If you will register the
 program you will receive these benefits:

   1) The latest version of SPLOT.
   2) A technical  reference  in Windows help format  which
      describes all plotter instructions supported by SPLOT.
   3) An end to the nag screens and opening banners.
   4) Deep discounts on the next major versions.

 There are three types of license:
   1) A single user license permits a single user to use SPLOT
      only on a single computer at a time.
   2) A multi user license permits to simultaneously use  more
      SPLOT copies on  more computers at  a time according  to
      the  licensed  number  of  users.  The unlimited license
      (with  no  limitation  on  simultaneous  use)  is   also
      available and it is equal to the licensing of 70 users.
   3) A multisystem site license is designated especially  for
      use on  computer networks  with a  dedicated server from
      which the  network users  can run  SPLOT on workstations
      and so it permits simultaneous use on one network.  Only
      one copy of the SPLOT executable file can exist in whole
      network and it must be  situated on the dedicated server.
      Generally the  multisystem site  license can  be used on
      any multiuser environment  as long as  only one copy  of
      the SPLOT  executable file  exists in  that environment.
      However  note  that  this  license  cannot  be  used  on
      peer-to-peer networks (use  multi user license  for that
      purpose). You  can also  order a multisystem license for
      more sites  (servers).   The unlimited  multisystem site
      license (with no limitation to number of sites) is  also
      available and it is equal to the licensing of 5 sites.

 The  single  user  registration fee  for SPLOT for Windows is
 65.00 EUR. The multisystem site fee for SPLOT is 700.00 EUR.

 The price for a multi user license is a corresponding multiple
 of the single  user registration fee  reduced by a  graduated
 discount. The discount is  graduated according to the  number
 of users:
         Number of users  Discount [percent]
              2 - 10        20 %
             11 - 20        25 %
             21 - 30        30 %
             31 - 40        35 %
             41 - 70        40 %
 The  number  of  70  or  more  users  equals to the unlimited
 license.

 The  price  for  more  multisystem  sites  is a corresponding
 multiple of one multisystem  site license price reduced  by a
 graduated discount.  The discount  is graduated  according to
 the number of sites:
         Number of users  Discount [percent]
              2 - 5   20 %
 The  number  of  5  or  more  sites  equals to the unlimited
 license.

 menu bar Help  item), which will  help  you  namely for multi
