Registering Vapor Software
**************************
Thank you for supporting Amiga Software Development! By registering the
Software you use, you ensure further development of high quality Amiga
applications.
The information presented in this document is valid as of
December
17st, 1999. Please check out the Support for latest information.
How To Use
**********
The registration utility provides an easy, GUI driven means to gather
all necessary information required for registration. It also
calculates resulting fees and discounts, and shows all options
available. You can print the resulting registration form or directly
mail it via Internet mail if you have an Internet connection.
After starting the program, you will be shown the main window.
Depending on your screen size, the window contents may be larger than
the visible size of your screen. Use the window's scrollbars to move
the contents just as you do with Workbench windows.
Fill in the necessary personal information and select the registration
site, method of payment and products you want to register.
The order list will immediately calculate the fee based on your
selection of products and the costs per registration site.
You can quit the registration program at any time. All the information
you have filled in will be saved in the file
S:Vapor.Reginfo
and is
automatically reloaded when you start the registration program the next
time.
When you have finished filling out the fields, you have four options on
how to proceed with the finally generated registration form.
- The button
Save form to file
allows you to save the resulting
registration form to a disk file. You can inspect the file with a
text viewer like
More
or include it into your favorite EMail
package to mail the form.
- The button
Print form
prints the resulting form on your printer.
- Pressing
Mail form via net
attempts to automatically mail the
resulting form via Internet. In order for this to work, you must
have a working Internet connection and a TCP/IP stack loaded. You
are informed of the success or failure of this operation.
- With pressing
View form
, a text window opens presenting the
resulting registration form. You are encouraged to check out the
form before printing or mailing it.

The third column specifies which methods of payment are accepted by the
specific registration site:

This is not encouraged since such letters tend to "get lost" in
some countries esspecially if coins are included.

therefore are "good by definition", not imposing any clearance
delay on registration processing. Other types of cheques may need
some time for clearance.

country as the registration site is located in. Please put a clear
reference to your registration mail onto the transaction sheet, so

Registering Manually
********************
If you, for some reason, don't want to use the registration program,
you can of course register manually. Information about Registration
Sites, prices and methods of payment can be found in the section
Registration Sites.
Please make sure you include all the necessary information in the
letter or email you send, especially your address and what you want to
register!
All sites grant a
discount
for multi-unit registrations. This
discount is 5% for 2 to 4 units and 10% at 5 or more units. Make sure
you subtract this discount before you calculate the final registration
fee!
Problems
********
Trouble with the registration utility
=====================================
If you have any trouble starting or using the registration utility,
please write a bug report to
bugs@vapor.com
. Please include a
extensive problem description and an overview of your system
configuration.
Bug reports which help to track down a formerly not known bug in
the registration utility will be rewarded a 50% discount on a single
registration of your choice!
You can also register manually in such a case; see the section Manually
on how to do that.
Trouble with the registration process
=====================================
Well, what if you have sent the money and registration and you don't
get your key files or disks?
Of course, we hope that this never happens. However, experience tells
us that problems with email do occur, and the following instructions
are
Just in case
. Please understand that none of the registration
sites will just cash in your money and not send anything back just for
being evil, as no one would actually benefit from that.
First, allow about a 4 week processing delay before you start to worry
about your registration, to cover snail mail delay, cheque clearance
and related stuff.
Write a email to the specific registration site to find out what is
happening. If you don't get a reply to such an inquiry, something is
probably broken.
Most likely, something is wrong with your email link in such a case.
Write a test message to
bounceme@vapor.com
, which should trigger a
automatical informational message that your message has arrived at
vapor.com's mail system. If this works, please write to
reg-trouble@vapor.com
specifying what's wrong.
If you however
don't
get a response from
bounceme@vapor.com
,
something is definitvly broken with your mail account. In that case,
your registration email probably never arrived, or the key file sent to
you was lost on its way. Try a different mail account, if you have
one, or resort to traditional snail mail then.
Support
*******
There are several means of getting support and updates for Vapor
products.
Internet
========
* WWW (World Wide Web)
The URL for the WWW support pages is
http://www.vapor.com/
.
