Registration

Shareware is a marketing method, not a type of software or even strictly just a distribution method. When software is marketed through normal retail channels, you are forced to pay for the product before you've even seen it. The Shareware marketing method lets you try a program before you buy it. Since you've tried the program, you know whether it will meet your needs before you pay for it. A Shareware program is just like a program you find in major stores, catalogs, and other places where software is purchased; except you get to use it, on your own computer, before paying for it.

The Planetarium demo version

The Planetarium software you find on the internet is fully functional. If you install it on your Palm it will run as demo version and will give you plenty of time to try it out and check if you like it. After a while it will begin to show a remainder screen at program start to convince you either to register it or to remove it again from the Palm. If you decide to register, you will receive a registration code which you enter into the program. This will convert the program into the registered version and disable all remainder screens.

Why register?

When you register you will get a registraion code you can enter into Planetarium that disables the reminder screens, so you can fully enjoy the program. The shareware fee is not very high compared to the amount of functionality you get. We are not a big company with high administrative overhead. This allows us to give you the software for a very competitive price ($24). However, we need some revenue to be able to continue developing software and supporting our users.
