Note: Licenses for Slider 0.9 Beta may be freely obtained from http://www.longrie.com and may be used by an unlimited number of users until September 30th, 1998.
Although Slider is freely distributed, it is commercial software. As such, it will only run in demonstration mode until a license is purchased and installed. In demonstration mode the application is restricted to only load up to five images at one time. You may use Slider in demonstration mode for as long as you like.
Installation of a license is simple and is accomplished by accessing the License panel from the "License" option of the "Help" menu. To install a new license, simply enter the license key into the "Key" field and press the "Set" button. The "User Name" field should be left blank unless otherwise instructed by information given with the license key itself.
The panel above shows Slider running on license number 0 for user "Terry G Longrie" on a computer named "passion" and that it has been running for the last 4 hours and 24 minutes. License number 0 is a floating license for a maximum of one user. It does not expire and is not restricted to a specific user.
