Like with the official retail version your users will have to register to be able to use the program to its full potential and keep it past the evaluation period. The difference is in that the registration will be free for them because you pre-paid for their licenses.
What you get out of this system is two things. First, you are sure that you pre-paid licenses for only those users that really want to keep and use the program while distributed number of copies remains unlimited. Second, you have an opportunity to include a questionnaire in the user registration process and get valuable information for your future marketing efforts.
The whole distribution and user registration process goes like this:
- you host the program's setup file on your own web site for public download or distribute it on a CD etc.
- your users install unregistered version of the program that has limits on the number of events/tasks and stops working after 42 days (the same behaviour as the official retail version).
- a user that wants to keep the program and use it beyond limits has to register through a web form hosted on our web site to get a unique registration code.
- minimum information required for user registration is a valid email address where a registration code is to be delivered (optional user questionnaire appears at this point).
- only one registration code will be delivered per one email address and at the same time you will get an email message with user's registration code, email address and answers to the questionnaire.
