GEM Pricing and Purchase options

‘30 Day’ FREE Trial Period

Once you have activated your system you will get a ‘30 Day Trial’, complete with a full set of demonstration data, so that you can see the full system in action. (There are some restrictions to prevent trial users mass-mailing the REAL Businesses and People in the demonstration data, who have been included with their permission.)

If you re-install the software you will get another 30 day trial period. But you will loose all the data that you input previously. If your trial period expires before you register your system, you will not loose your data, as you will still have sufficient access to be able to register your system.

Registration

To continue operating beyond the end of your free trial period, each installation will have to be registered. During registration clients have the option of purchasing the software with or without ‘Software Assurance’ that entitles you to FREE upgrades in the coming year, leasing it on an annual basis, or keeping a FREE Personal Version.

The ‘Registration Wizard’, in the GEM Admin program on the Windows Start menu, will price all the options for you in your local currency and accept your payment by credit card through a secure server. When our Server receives acknowledgement of payment, it will register your system on-line.

If you want a networked system, it is only necesssary to register the server.

Pricing Options

A Personal Version is entirely FREE, but can only be registered over the Internet. You can keep it forever and share it with all your friends - if you have a CD, or burn one from the downloaded files. Small Business Versions are discounted so that they cost the same as a local postage stamp per record of database capacity. "After all, if you want to store someone's Address it has to be worth the cost of a postage stamp." That way GEM is affordable to businesses of all sizes, as well as private individuals, and no one has to compromise on features because of budgetary constraints.
