About Software Protection

EstiMate uses a custom-written, software based protection system. While it is no fun to have to contact us for a new security key, the fact that EstiMate is relatively well-protected offers you several very serious benefits.

• You can receive technical support as a registered user
• When our system changes - which we do periodically in case it has been cracked "in the wild" - you can be assured that your copy will work
• Most importantly, our revenue stream is protected, insuring that we will be around in the future to provide the software and services you have come to expect.

When Will I Need to Get a New Key?

Actually, it only seems that way. There are only a few circumstances where you will need to get a new unlock key. They are as follows:

• At the end of your 60-day exploratory period, when you are ready to choose your plugins and purchase your software, you will need to get a permanent key to unlock those you have chosen.
• When you purchase new plugins, you will need to get a new permanent key including the new plugins you have purchased.
• If you install EstiMate on multiple computers and wish to run them on those machines, you will need to purchase additional licenses which require their own individual unlock codes.
• Finally, if you re-install Windows, or a new hard drive, your permanent key will change and you will need to contact us for a new one. Fortunately, in this circumstance, EstiMate (if installed from your original CD) will run for a 60-day trial period again and you will not be "dead in the water" if you need a key on the weekend.
