Licensing

EchoStation is free to download and distribute, and to "test drive" for 30 days.  After 30 days, however, registration is required.

You must provide a callsign when registering.  You will be issued a registration number, which must be entered in the Help/Registration window.

Once the software is registered, it may be installed and used on any number of computers, but the callsign used in the CW ID cannot be changed.  If you wish to change the callsign, you must obtain a new registration number.  (This will be provided free of charge if the callsign has been changed in the FCC database.)  Minor changes to the ID, such as adding "DE" at the beginning or "/R" at the end, do not require a new key.

Registered users are also entitled to e-mail-based support.  Many of the upcoming updates to the software will also be provided to registered users free of charge.
