Unlock Code Generation Form

Unlock Code Form - I'm in a hurry, skip this introductory stuff and get me an unlocking code right now

Evaluation Agreement - I want to read the evaluation agreement before I agree to it (doesn't everybody?), so skip to that section

Unlock code information

Each program installation of our product defaults to a demo/browsermode. To get to higher levels of capability it has to become unlocked, which means, you (or your network supervisor) need to enter a code which identifies the capabilities to which you are now entitled.

This unlocking mechanism is shared by low level "C" language code used in a number of products, such as Mark V's ObjectMaker®, ProcessMaker®, and a number of tools from other companies which incorporate the runtime C code in other products.

We have isolated the semantics of the tool you use in configuration, rules, and menu files, so that the core product (which may be named an appropriate name for your application) develops its personality with files whose sufixes are .cfg (the configurations possible), .bin (incorporating compiled .mnu and .rul files), and other modules your supplier might integrate. (Yes, you can sneak one set of .cfg and .bin files onto another set of DLLs or binaries, but make sure the versions belong together; the unlock code provides your ability to use the features on a given CPU or network.)

Unlock codes are generally for individual CPUs (tied on Unix to host ID, and on PCs to hard-disk signatures). Network-based unlock codes are available for multiple license purchase. In our own sales of ObjectMaker and ProcessMaker, the configuration file you receive (base-named to match the executable, with suffix .cfg) has these modes of behavior (remember, a third party product incorporating our binaries as a component is likely to have its own choices of unlocking mode behavior):

Demo browser, the default mode when no unlocking code has been entered: for now we have set this capability to allow you to open existing diagrams to view them, but not provided any capability to edit these diagrams. We are considering allowing a small number of objects to be edited in this mode.
Evaluator: this is the capability you can request yourself through the attached reply form below, to unlock the tool to play around and get sufficiently hooked to want to buy a "real" license. The code issued here is "time limited" to one week (you can extend it by re-requesting another code), and the number of nodes you can draw on a diagram is limited to 10. There are longer time periods, you can see them in the forms below, but these require a distributor to request, which means you have to have a really persuasive story; we really want you to quickly decide to purchase a full license.
Classroom: this mode is for you if your're an instructor unlocking for a classroom. Your student's programs are time-bombed, but their data files are not (so they can proudly show their products to the boss later on, and so you can develop the students into consulting revenue under optimal circumstances). Requires an assigned password.
Full license: no time bombs on data files, no restrictions (program may be time limited if rented instead of purchased license). But, no source code for rules and semantical implementation of methodology. Requies an assigned transaction ID, matching your name.
Developer: no time bombs on data files, no restrictions (program may be time limited if rented instead of purchased license). Includes source code for rules and semantical implementation of methodology. We like you to buy this (you can tailor methods to your own needs, you can implement your own method, and you get more deeply hooked into our product!). Requies an assigned transaction ID, matching your name.
Others: there are other modes for special markets, generally intended for distributors (who may, in fact, customize this form to be more appropriate to their market, and may, thereby, specialize the choices in the form listboxes).

Before you can get your unlock code you have to install the program on your computer, and open the installation menu item's "Setup Unlock Code" dialog window. Then paste or retype the system signature from that dialog into the Unlock Code Form below.

Evaluation Agreement

1. Parties, Effective Date. As of the time when the "Agree" button below is pressed, (hereinafter called the "Effective Date") the submittor of the Unlock Code Form below, ("Licensor"), and Mark V Systems Limited (address below), a California Corporation, agree to all the points in this Agreement.
2. Evaluation of Software. This agreement is made to induce Licensor to unlock for Client one copy of Mark V System Limited's computer software product as downloaded, with any related documentation, training materials, courseware, and like matter (collectively the "Software"), and to demonstrate the Software to Client, or to train Client in it (or both), so that Client may evaluate it. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Client's promises under this Agreement are accepted as adequate consideration, without payment in money.
3. License Granted. Licensor claims as owner or holder or all pertinent rights in the Software. This Agreement licenses Client only to inspect and evaluate; it confers no other rights, nor obliges Client to buy anything including a license to use the Software. Client shall not, without prior written consent from Licensor, use (other than in the evaluation permitted by this Agreement), unlock Software for a third party, or otherwise appropriate use of the Software, and shall not in any circumstance alter, disassemble, or reverse-engineer it, or attempt to do so. In making any copies, Client shall preserve all logographs, notices of copyright, and like markings.
4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and shall be governed by the law of the location of Licensor's principle place of business below, or the Federal law of the United States of America to the extent controlling; however if that law would apply the law of another jurisdiction, such other jurisdictions law shall nonetheless not be applied. Breach of Licensors rights under this Agreement would injure Licensor irreparably, with damages difficult to measure; if aggrieved, Licensor may have injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy. The Client, in agreeing by applying, and Licensor, agreeing by supplying in return the Unlock Code, each warrant that their party is fully authorized to do so. Client has read and is urged to print on paper a copy of this Agreement.
