Upgrade Policy


Free Interim Upgrades

The majority of the code for the licensed and evaluation versions of this program is identical.

It is the presence of a non-redistributable file, ICL1X.DLL, that is supplied with the licensed version and is unique to each licensee that causes the program to generate compiled distributables that do not display the "Distribution is Prohibited" messages and that contain the licensees details in the "About" box.

The presence of the licensed ICL1X.DLL file will also cause any further versions of the InfoCourier program that still bear the 1.xx release number to behave as licensed versions, wherever you obtain them from. Versions that bear the 1.xx release number will generally be for minor enhancements and bug-fixes. Any release containing major new functionality will bear the release number 2.xx, and an upgrade fee will probably be chargeable.

We will make new versions of the InfoCourier program available via the usual sources, online on services such as CompuServe, CIX and the Internet and via disk vendors, cover disks and CD's.

The prime location for new releases is our Internet site at http://www.smartcode.com.

If you do acquire a newer version of the InfoCourier program simply make sure that the ICL1X.DLL file that you received when you purchased your licence remains in either your Windows directory, or the directory you have InfoCourier in.
