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.
