3. Backup instructions
---------------------After registering do not forget to save a backup copy of your rarreg.key,
it may help you later in case of disk crash or other similar problems.
4. Known problems
----------------4.1 Can't copy the attached rarreg.key into WinRAR directory
problem:
When I try to open the folder it say:
Cannot import rarreg.key:
The specified file is not a registry script.
Solution:
Please don't try to open rarreg.key, use the option "save as"
from your e-mail program to copy rarreg.key into your WinRAR
directory. If your e-mail program allows it, you may drag it
to WinRAR directly from e-mail program.
4.2 WinRAR Registration doesn't work.
WinRAR doesn't accept other files or directories which are
named rarreg or rarreg.* in it's folder.
Please delete such files in your WinRAR folder
and repeat registering process.

10. EULA (End User License Agreement) for use and distribution
-------------------------------------------------------------The RAR archiver and its Windows version WinRAR are shareware.
This means:
1. All copyrights to WinRAR/RAR are exclusively owned by the author
- Alexander Roshal.
2. Anyone may use this software during a test period of 40 days.
Following this test period of 40 days or less, if you wish to
continue to use RAR, you must purchase a license.
3. There are 2 basic types of licenses issued for RAR, these are:
a. A single computer usage license. The user purchases one license
to use RAR archiver on one computer.
Home users may use their single computer usage license on
all computers which are in property of the license owner.
Business users require one license per computer RAR is
installed on.
b. A multiple usage license. The user purchases a number of usage
licenses for use, by the purchaser or the purchaser's employees
on the same number of computers.
In a network (server/client) environment you must purchase
a license copy for each separate client (workstation)
on which RAR is installed, used, or accessed. A separate
license copy for each client (workstation) is needed regardless
of whether the clients (workstations) will use RAR simultaneously
or at different times. If for example you wish to have
9 different clients (workstations) in your network with access
to RAR, you must purchase 9 license copies.
A user who purchased a RAR license, is granted a non-exclusive
right to use RAR on as many computers as defined by the licensing
terms above according to the number of licenses purchased,
for any legal purpose. The licensed RAR software may not be rented
or leased, but may be permanently transferred, in it's entirety,
if the person receiving it agrees to the terms of this license.
