NOTE: Background Information about Digital Money, Inc. and the AutoPay module can be found at the end of this chapter.
We created InternetMemory in the spirit of shareware and, in many ways, to combat the rising prices of commercial software. As you will soon discover (or may already have), the demo version of InternetMemory will only let you store a grand total of 5 items in any file. You can avoid this limitation by registering InternetMemory for the low price of $20 US.
InternetMemory uses Digital Money, Inc.'s AutoPay module to do registration and upgrades. This allows us to accept major credit cards and cheques over the phone and through mail-in registration. All of the screens that you will be required to interact with during the registration process have built-in help screens.
Registration
To register InternetMemory, simply choose the "Register InternetMemory..." item from the Apple Menu.
ﾂ
This will connect you to the AutoPay system, which allows online registration with a simple phone call (toll free in Canada or USA), or a modem call (also toll free). If you encounter any problems with the AutoPay module, call the Digital Money technical support number at 1-800-210-5517 (toll free within Canada and USA).
Updates
New in InternetMemory 1.5!
Users who wish to upgrade from InternetMemory 1.0 (or 1.0.1) should do the following:
1窶｢ Call 1-800-210-5517 (toll free in USA and Canada) or
(415) 833-0200
These are the numbers to access DigitalMoney.
2窶｢ Tell the operator that you have registered InternetMemory and would like to upgrade to the new version.
3窶｢ They will ask you for your name as it appears on the Splash Screen. It is important that you spell it exactly the same way.
Pay special attention to initials!
4窶｢ They will give you an unlocking code.
It should be a four letter code in all capitals.
5窶｢ Launch InternetMemory and choose "Register InternetMemory..." from the Apple Menu.
This puts you into the AutoPay module.
6窶｢ Choose "Enter Unlock Code" from the "Delayed Register" menu.
You will be asked to enter the code given to you by the operator.
That's all there is to it folks!
