This file describes how to upgrade or register your copy of IM. (Users who purchased IM from a dealer must register with Stiller Research.) This file also describes how we expect to be improving Integrity Master and how to obtain the upgraded releases. We generally produce new releases every 90 to 120 days. You can order these upgrades when they become available, or you can arrange for us to automatically ship the latest versions of Integrity Master when they become available. YOU MUST BE A LICENSED USER BEFORE YOU CAN ORDER UPGRADES. HOW TO ELECTRONICALLY UPGRADE: ------------------------------ For 12 months from purchase, registered users of Integrity Master can download the evaluation (shareware) version from our web site (http://www.stiller.com), internet ftp sites, CompuServe (visit our forum by using the command GO STILLER), AOL, MSN, or most larger BBSes. The license information stored in IM.PRM will allow the evaluation version to work as the registered version. You can extend these "electronic upgrades" by 12 or 24 months for a small fee. When you download the evaluation version, just unzip it into the \IM_Home directory or copy the files wherever you have your existing IM files. You do NOT need to rerun SetupIM. You MUST keep your old IM.PRM file since this contains your license information and allows the downloaded software to act registered. If you have any problem with this, copy IM.DAT from your latest IM diskette and execute "SetupIM /U" (this updates the license information in your IM.PRM file. ==================================================================== New versions of Integrity Master fall into two categories: Upgrades: --------- Integrity Master is constantly being improved. We place a high priority on adding those features and capabilities requested by our customers. (Please let us know what changes YOU would like to see!) Approximately every 60 to 120 days we issue an update. 12 month extension of electronic (BBS) upgrades ----------------------------------------------- You may extend your ability to download Integrity Master from our support BBS or any other BBS carrying the evaluation versions of Integrity Master for 12 months. This includes a diskette with the latest version of IM and any updated manuals we've released as well as an additional 12 months of tech support. Major upgrades: --------------- When we have added enough features or make a major addition to Integrity Master's capabilities, we release a new major version. New major versions are only occasionally produced. We expect the next version (version 4) of Integrity Master to be available between July 1997 and December 1998. Examples of some improvements that we are now working on: o The ability to read the report file directly from within IM o A status bar indicator to indicate the percentage of checking done and the percentage left to do o Improved hardware diagnostics to help you determine causes for existing problems. o The ability to pick specific files to check from a file list o The ability to check arbitrary groups of files o The ability to check only programs in directories on the DOS path o The ability to customize IM with your own messages o New add on utilities (like IMview and IMcheck) o A security module to prevent someone from accessing your hard disk while you are away (even if they boot your PC from diskette o Support for OS/2 HPFS, WindowsNT, and Win95 longer file names. What you will get if you upgrade: -------------------------------- We will send you the latest version of Integrity Master at whatever interval you select. You will receive one copy of the latest version on diskette plus a new copy of the book/users guide if enough changes have been made to warrant this. All automatic upgrades will automatically upgrade you to any new major versions of Integrity Master released during that time period. All upgrades include extension of the 12 month Stiller Research technical support which comes with the initial license. This extension is effective until six months after the last upgrade is shipped. Shipping and Handling: ---------------------- Prices for automatic shipment of Integrity Master include shipping and handling. Since only a single copy will be mailed, you don't need to pay more shipping or handling even if you are licensing multiple copies of Integrity Master. Quantity: --------- If you have Integrity Master licensed to be used on more than one PC, you need add only the small $4 charge at the bottom of the order form for each additional PC on which are you are using IM.
