8. This is TRY BEFORE YOU BUY software
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PDFSearcher is NOT free or public domain software. 

It is "Try Before You Buy" software.  

This means that you may use the program for a total of 30 days 
 to evaluate it, and determine whether PDFSearcher meets your needs.
At the end of this trial period, you must either register PDFSearcher
 (purchase a license for continued use of the program), 
or discontinue using PDFSearcher.  

For the complete text of the evaluation use license, refer to file 
License.txt that is included in the PDFSearcher distribution package.

9.  Evaluation vs Continued use
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is NO functional difference between the evaluation and licensed 
versions of this software (except for the registration reminders,for a
short time displayed by the program after the evaluation period has ended).  
Actually, it's the same program: You can convert an evaluation copy 
of PDFSearcher to a registered one by entering your name and a 
registration code.  .

Evaluation copies of PDFSearcher are 100% functional. Everything works!
But you can only see a limited number of files that match searchstrings
convert pdf files to text files 10 times and see 50% of pdf file as a text file.

We make them this way so you can have a real look at them to decide 
whether or not they fit your needs.   If you need more time to decide 
whether you want to register, you will have a few extra days before 
the program stops working.  After that, if you want a fully functional 
copy of PDFSearcher, you’ll have to register the program.  When you do,
 you’ll join a growing community of discerning computer-users --
 our customers.  We appreciate your 
understanding of this policy.



10.  DISTRIBUTION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
  You may distribute the evaluation version archive and make as many
  copies as you like provided that it is the official evaluation
  version archive. You are required to verify this.

  You are specifically prohibited from charging, or requesting
  donations, for any such copies, however made and from distributing
  the software and/or documentation with other products (commercial 
  or otherwise) without prior written permission.
