SHORTHAND 5.x FOR WINDOWS PRICE LIST AS OF OCTOBER, 1997

(Prices are subject to change without notice; please
see the Shorthand On-Line Help for complete
licensing and registration information.)

You can register on-line with a credit card through the
Shorthand Home Page at http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~lim/shorthand.

There are three types of Licenses:
1. USER LICENSE ($49) -  license for 1 person for office use. 
2. PC LICENSE ($29) - a low-cost copy protected license for 1 PC for home use.
3. SITE LICENSE ($149 per 10 users) - a multi-user license for company-wide use.

User License (US$49 per User)
-----------------------------
A User License gives you a personalized Single User License File
which allows you to install Shorthand on any 
computer you use.
Only the person named in the License File is allowed to use that
particular copy of Shorthand.  The License File is not
copy protected.

Single PC License (US$29 per PC)
------------------- -------------
The Single PC License gives you one (1) license  
to run Shorthand 5 on a single PC. 
The PC License is intended for price-senstive home users who 
don't mind the inconvenience of copy-protection in exchange 
for a lower price.
To get the PC License you must send the PC ID and USER ID (obtained 
by clicking the Register button in Shorthand's About Box) 
along with the license fee to OfficeSoft. OfficeSoft will 
then email you a password that allows you to use Shorthand 
on that PC.

Notes:
- The license is a PC-based license (*not* a user-based
  license). If you want to move Shorthand to another PC you
  will have purchase another license for the new PC.
  (If your job requires you to change your PC frequently,
  you should get the User License as described above.)
- The PC License employs software copy-protection and cannot
  be copied to another computer. If you don't like copy-protection,
  you should consider purchasing the User License described above.
- Once a PC is properly licensed, you can download and
  install the latest version of Shorthand 5 on the licensed
  PC without charge from the Shorthand Home Page (see
  Shorthand's About Box for the exact URL address). If you
  don't have access to the Web, you can get the latest version
  on a disk for a small service charge (see "Getting the
  Unregistered Version of Shorthand on a Disk" below).

Multiple PC Licenses (US$19 per PC)
-----------------------------------
If you register for two or more PC licenses, the cost is only 
US$19 for each PC license.
The PC ID and USER ID are different for every PC.  
You must send OfficeSoft the PC ID and USER ID plus the
license fee for each PC you want to register.

Site Licenses
-------------
A Site License gives you a Site License File which allows you
to install Shorthand on any computer located at a single physical 
site so long as the number of persons who have access to Shorthand
at any one time is not greater than the number of authorized users 
specified in the License File. The License File is NOT copy
protected.
A Site License costs US$149 for 10 users, US$495 for 50 users 
and US$795 for 100 users. Prices are subject to change at any
time.

Upgrade from a Previous Version of Shorthand
--------------------------------------------
If you are a registered user of Shorthand 4.0 or earlier, 
you can upgrade for only US$19 per PC LICENSE or US$29 per
USER LICENSE. 

Getting the Unregistered Version of Shorthand
on a Disk (US$10 per disk)
---------------------------------------------
