Thoth is shareware. That means you have to pay for it if you continue to use it after an initial trial period. If you wish to redistribute the program, you must obtain the prior written permission of Brian Clark, and you must distribute the complete Thoth archive containing the application and all other files.

Thoth Trial is a special trial version of the application. You have 30 days from when you first launch Thoth Trial to evaluate the program. Thoth Trial also limits you to downloading or posting 100 articles or 10 multi-part posts (whichever is greater) per launch. Viewing inline images counts towards these limits. Alerts reminding you that Thoth is shareware will be shown at startup until the program has been registered and you have entered your registration key using the regular version of the application. These are the only differences between registered and unregistered/trial copies of Thoth. The nag alert, 30 day expiration, and download/posting limits serve as incentives to register Thoth without preventing the program from being fully evaluated and all its features fully tested prior to registration.
