AShop V Version 5.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use of AShop V software is subject to the terms of this license agreement.
By using this software you signify that you have read the license agreement and accept its terms.
Your purchase of an AShop V software license entitles you to a specific number of working copies
of the script per license. You may NOT copy, reproduce, resell, or give away copies of the script
in any way shape or form without prior written consent from AShop Software. Violation of this
license agreement may void your right to technical support and subject you to legal action.

Shopping Mall terms clarification: charging a setup fee for new members to sign up with your
AShop Shopping Mall IS considered the same thing as reselling the software and it NOT permitted.
Should you  want to do this you will need a Shopping Mall reseller license. Contact us for more
information about this. Using the Shopping Mall to allow members to sell their products through
your AShop without paying a setup fee is allowed without any additional license.

AShop V Installation Requirements

A list of basic requirements is on
http://www.ashopsoftware.com/ashop-software-requirements.htm

We recommend that you first test the site to make sure that all of the program requirements are
supported by the server and IonCube decoding works on the server. Download the AShop Pre-install
Test from http://www.ashopsoftware.com/dlcounter/downloads.php. Instructions are included with it
in a text file. Run the ashoptest.php script from a browser. If all of the tests pass, go ahead
with the installation. 

The IonCube encoded scripts run fine on most servers. We do not guarantee that the IonCube
decryption will work on all servers. Troubleshooting of server configurations is not included in
our free software support. If you have trouble with IonCube decyption and cannot resolve it with
your hosting service or system administrator, then we recommend changing to a hosting service
that supports the requirements of the AShop program.

IMPORTANT!!!
THE PROGRAM MUST BE REGISTERED DURING THE INSTALLATION.
A key code must first be obtained from our site. 

Obtain a trial version key code, which will run for 30 days.

INSTALLATION SERVICE

AShop Software technicians will install the software for you for $50. You can purchase this
installation service at http://www.ashopsoftware.com/tech-service-request.htm. In order to install
and setup AShop Software on your host server, the host service provider must provide a method
such as cPanel or Plesk to create a database and assign a user and password. Most host service
providers have one of these hosting control panels or something similar. If your hosting does not
provide this, you may need to ask your server technical support to create a MySQL database for you
and provide the database location, database name, user, and password. 

In order to install and setup the software, we will need the following information:
 
FTP username and password to directory where AShop V is to be installed.

URL to your hosting control panel
Username and password for hosting control panel (to create database)
OR
If access to the hosting control panel cannot be provided or the database must be created by the
hosting company technical support, please send the following:
database server path or URL (if not localhost)
database name
database user name
database user password
