Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor - License file

« on: September 22, 2005, 08:26 AM »

it would be more accurate probably for the program to start out saying
"donation reminder license"
and then when you apply freeware license it should say
"freeware license; renewal in 180 days"

i will change this in the new versions or make it something similar.

Yes would be more accurate and not so confusing - thanks.
BTW: I am still happy with your software

I don't think that it works that way.

What I found out is:

- You download and install ScreenshotCaptor - you will have a "License: Freeware License" - this you will see on your about screen whitout any license file imported.

- But after you import a license file, you will see "License: Freeware (180 days before renewal needed)".

So for my understanding: without license file it's freeware (without renewal) but with license file a renewal is required. Am I right?

That is what makes me wondering - without license - freeware, with license freeware which requires renewal. Shouldn't it be the other way?

Hi Mouser,

I thought about your licensing/donation model.

What do you think about this idea:
By default your software (which is really great) is freeware, but after a time periode a 'donation reminder' will pop-up.
But when a user takes the time and signs in to your forum - personally I think such a forum is a good idea - and than gets a license file - he will no longer gets those 'donation pop-ups'.

Is just an idea

I understand your wish to get donations - you are developing great software, no question.

But what I found a little bit strange is that your software is freeware and changes to a demo version after applaying a license key. For me it's a strange behavior - that' all.

BTW: Thanks fpr you response

Screenshot Captor / Screenshot Captor - License file

« on: September 09, 2005, 01:37 AM »

Hi,

why do I need a license file for Screenshot Captor?
On you website you write:
"The reason we require people to download a license key from us is so that we may have a chance to ask you to consider whether you might be willing to make a one-time donation to this site, of any amount you choose."

So I downloaded a license file and I entered this key into Screenshot Captor.

But what surprise  My Freeware License became a Demo License 

What's that? Why do I have to register to this forum? Why should I provid my email?

Only to become a license file which is changing my freeware license into a demo license???
