About the Registered Version

You may try out Concordance free of charge for a period of thirty days. If you wish to keep on using it after that time, you must buy a registration.  Please read the Licence Terms and Conditions first, as there are restrictions on what you may do with the unregistered version.

The Unregistered Version

The unregistered version of Concordance is fully functional. You are allowed to use it for no longer than thirty (30) days for personal evaluation and trial purposes only. 

If you have not registered after thirty days, the program will cease to work until you register.  

You can register during the thirty-day trial period or afterwards. If the trial period has expired and the program has ceased to work, it will start to work again when you register.
  • You may not distribute, publish, or exhibit files, Web Concordances, or other materials made with the unregistered version.  You may not make them accessible on a website.
  • The unregistered version may not be used for teaching or demonstration purposes or as part of an educational course in any way, whether as teacher or as student.
  • You may not install or use multiple copies of the unregistered version, and you may not permit others (for example, a class of students) to do so.

    To remind you to register, the unregistered version will add an 'Unregistered' notice to concordances when you export or print them. You may not remove these notices. 


    When you register

    Once you have registered, you will receive by e-mail a personal registration key and instructions for entering it into the program. You may enter your key in exactly one (1) copy of the program, installed on a single computer. More than one person is allowed to use the software, as long as no two people use it at the same time. If in doubt, think of it as a book: it can be read by many people, but by only one person at a time.  If two or more people need to use it at the same time, you need to buy two or more copies.  If you want to install it on two or more computers (including one at work and one at home), you need to buy two or more copies. See the Licence Terms and Conditions for fuller details. Second and subsequent copies are attractively priced: see Multiple Copy Pricing.

    All registration keys are distributed by e-mail. 

    You won't have to re-install the program or download anything else when you register.

    Benefits of Registration
  • You will no longer see 'Unregistered' messages when you export and print.  
  • You will receive e-mail notification when new versions of the program are available.
  • You will be entitled to upgrade to new versions free of charge and without re-registering for some time to come.  If a subsequent major release of the program does require a new purchase, existing customers will get preferential rates.

    You will be entitled to publish or distribute files, Web Concordances, and all other materials which you make with the registered version.  (Be sure you are not infringing someone else's copyright on the source texts.)  All materials you create with the registered version of Concordance are your property entirely and you may do whatever you like with them, just as you could with documents you create using a word processor. 
  • You will be able to use your registered copy for teaching or study as part of an educational course.
  • If you need to ask me questions, I will give them higher priority than questions from unregistered users.

    The Registered Version

    The registered version adds a single unobtrusive 'Made with Concordance' message to the end of the HTML files it creates.  You are invited to let this remain, but you are free to remove it if you wish.  If you publish any web files made with the program, the message with its link to the Concordance website will save you having to answer questions about how you created them.
