Registering the Software

To register you simply have to send one of the Authors a registration fee (in the form of bank notes or sterling cheques drawn on a UK bank) of not less than 10 pounds, 30.000 lire, 35 marks, 20 US dollars, 100 francs, 50 Nlg or equivalent. If you want you can include a disc and, say, 2 pounds for mail costs, and you will be sent the latest version of the Software along with some other PD programs.

In return you will be given a registration key. This is a number of 10 digits or less and can be used to register the Software.

To register your Software select the register option from the main menu, type in your name as you specified it to us in the box that appears (Case, punctuation and spaces are important) and your registration number. Press the Save button. This will register the Software in your name.

This has two functions

1. It removes the start up message
2. It burns your name into the program info box, so we will know if you give away a registered copy of the program.

If you want to unregister the program (before you give it to a friend maybe) then make sure the registration key field is clear and press Save.

Registration keys will unlock future versions of the Software unless the Authors decide otherwise.

Disclaimer

In normal operations FCFS is not a dangerous program since it doesn't write anything to the disc. However, when restoring an image, it completely removes the destination disc's contents, so if you use it on the wrong disc by accident, you will be sorry!

If for any reason (either your mistake or a bug in FCFS) it causes you a loss of data, we are sorry for you but we will not be held responsible.

Use FCFS at your own risk.
