The freeware version of
BreveEasy operates in an identical manner to the licenced version - but it also
occasionally interrupts your use with a pop up message window encouraging you
to purchase a licence.
When you do purchase a licence
you will be guaranteed free upgrades to the software as and when they become
available. Your licence will continue to be valid for all versions of BreveEasy
that you choose to run on your machine. Note that it is possible for future
versions of BreveEasy to require advanced hardware that your current machine
may not have. Future versions of the software will be available for download
from the www from time to time.
Your licence will operate on a
single machine. It bases it's licencing on a machine signature which relies on
the sound card, operating system, hard disc and monitor. The only time you will
need to purchase another licence will be if you do a major upgrade to your
machine hardware, or if you throw it away and run the software on a different
machine. Any number of people can use the software on your machine. However if
you want to use the software on two different machines you will need two
licences.
Before you licence your
software you should confirm all of the following points using the freeware
version.
1) The software only prompted
you to enter your name and user details on the very first time you installed
it. On subsequent runs the software goes straight to the main
screen.
2) You can enter your name and
instrument (under Tools / Options) and that once entered they remain unchanged
when you stop and then restart the BreveEasy application.
3) You can start a repeated
note monitoring system and then play a note on your instrument. The "Waiting
for Note" box changes to "Monitoring" and the note name (eg A flat) is
correctly displayed in the "Note" box. When you stop the note the "Monitoring"
indication changes back to "Waiting for Note" .
If someone has recommended this
software to you be sure to include their e-mail (using the correct upper and
lower case letters) when you purchase your licence - so that they can claim
commission on their sales. Once you licence your software you too will be
eligible for commission.
You can purchase a licence
on-line using your credit/debit card. It costs 10 GBP for a single machine
licence. Or you can exchange an unused BreveEasy software token for a software
licence. The software tokens are available for purchase from this www site. In
either case you need to have your software licence key ready. This is available
from the Tools / Authorise menu. It is best to copy the key to the Windows clip
board ready to paste it prior to purchasing. |
