Section 50: Trial restrictions

More commercial / shareware software - more intensive life in the eComStation city.

Every program should be valued.

Your interest:

  • demonstrate usability and performance of your product
  • do not provoke users to crack the program
  • allow to user participate as tester

Examples:

  • PMView -- always ready to show your pictures but makes you buy it
  • DVD/CD: it's bad idea to restrict the speed. Better put restrictions to Qty of CDs per day, Allow record after OS reboot again
  • Internet dialer - break connection in 1 hour
  • DFsee -- several monthes for testing - good idea, users are working with disk several times per year.
