If you use this SOFTWARE after the 30-day evaluation period a registration fee is required. If you happen to go over your thirty (30) day evaluation period without realizing it, the SOFTWARE will remain functional (with an increasing pause on startup for each day it is run past 30) as a convenience to those of you who must get critical work done before you have a chance to purchase a license. The registration fee grants you the right to use this SOFTWARE for unlimited time, and allows you to unlock the program to its full potential. When payment is received you will be sent your own personal registration code.

Registered Version

You may access the registered version of SOFTWARE through a network, provided that you have obtained individual licenses for the SOFTWARE covering all workstations that will access the SOFTWARE through the network. For instance, if 5 different workstations will access SOFTWARE on the network, each workstation must have its own SOFTWARE license, regardless of whether they use SOFTWARE at different times or concurrently.

FlashFXP Privacy Policy
==============================================
At CEDSoft, our utmost goal is to provide you with the absolute best FTP/FXP client available. In this day and age of widespread Internet usage, privacy has become a major concern for everyone. We aim to be open and honest about what our software does, and how we use the information you provide when you browse our website, participate in our forums, and purchase/use our software.

WEBSITE/FORUMS
When you browse our website, download our software, or participate in our online forums, your ip address, the time and duration of your visit, the web browser you are using, and the pages you view are logged. This information is used to compile statistical reports about how you use our website and ultimately used to improve your browsing experience. If you choose to register for our forums, a valid email address is required, but all other information is optional. Our forums are moderated, and we reserve the right to remove any post we deem inappropriate, and any user account being used inappropriately. The purpose of our website and forums is to provide the best support possible to our valued customers.

SOFTWARE

TRIAL VERSION
Absolutely no personal information is required to download and try out our software. Additionally, while in trial mode, FlashFXP will never send ANY information to us or any of our servers. FlashFXP is yours to try for free, without obligation, and without restriction.

REGISTERED VERSION/LIVEUPDATE
If you choose to register FlashFXP, some personal information is required to complete the purchase. Things like your name/company, address, and billing information like your credit card number is collected. Your billing information is only used to complete the sale, and is NOT stored in any database. All methods of purchase are ssl encrypted and detailed information can be obtained from the website at time of purchase. Your personal information is securely stored, and is never given out to anyone, or used by us for anything other than a purchase record.

LiveUpdate is a special feature of the registered version of FlashFXP. It allows for a convenient method to update the FlashFXP software. Because this is a registered version only feature, and to keep our download servers from becoming overloaded, an encrypted piece of your registration key is sent as an authentication token when LiveUpdate connects to our servers. No other information is transmitted. The first time you register FlashFXP, an automatic live update check is done to ensure you are running the latest and greatest version of our software. You can choose, however, to not install the update at that time if you wish to do it some other time.

FRAUD/PIRACY
We aim to keep your information safe. Credit card fraud, identity theft and software piracy will not be tolerated. We may release any information necessary to comply with the law, protect our software licenses, and foremost to protect our valued customers. We will also work with law enforcement and fraud/credit agencies to ensure the safety of your information.
