The top box is where you will enter your own company informa-
tion.  All of this information gets stored in the protection control
files that we will be talking about later.

The next box of information has to do with your default protection.

Default expiration type

When you are editing this field, a pop-up window will show you
the 4 types of expiration.  Simply press the first letter of the type
you choose or cursor to the type and press enter.

         + Expiration Types +
         |Payments          |
         |Demo              |
         |None              |
         |Exe Count         |
         +------------------+

Payments  If most of your customers are paying you monthly
          payments for your software, you would select this
          expiration type.

Demo      If most of the programs you sent out are set up as
          demo versions, select demo.

None      Will add no expiration to the program.

Exe Count Will cause the program to stop after "n" number of
          program executions.

Distributor

Let's say you have a product that you sell to a software distributor
and let's say they order your product in lots of 100.  Defining the
distributor would allow you to mass produce your program
diskettes without having to enter the same info over and over each
time.  Later when an end user calls to get unlocked, you can
update their protection control file using the pp_savepp() function
from your PROPLUS.LIB.

+----------------------------------------------------+
|     Product:                                       |
| Distributor:                                       |
|     Address:                                       |
|        City:                                       |
|       State:                                       |
|    Zip Code:                                       |
|   Disk Size:                                       |
+----------------------------------------------------+

By hitting the [enter] key on the Product and Disk Size fields, you
will be prompted with a pop up picklists to choose from.

Codes

Protection Plus allows you to define up to 18 protection codes.
Here is where you define each of the code names.

+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Payments are due on

If your company has a payment plan, here is where you tell
PROPLUS the day of the month that your payments are due.  This
will allow you to cause the users software to stop working after
that date.  We have had fabulous results in collecting our A/R
when we use this protection.  Your customer will simply call you
monthly to get the next month unlock code.

Demo will work for

If you send a full running program to a prospective customer and
place it in the DEMO type expiration, you can tell PROPLUS how
many days to let the program function.  Their demo will stop after
n number of days.  If the customer used your program long enough
and likes it, they will purchase it from you and you will give them
a new code to unlock it all the way.

The tone toggles are, Yes or No questions.  If you want the GET
beep answer Y.  The GET beep is when you fill a field.  The
ERROR beep is when you enter un-validatable data and ALERT
beep is when the program is trying to alert you to look at the
screen.  You will see alert messages at the bottom of the screen.
