A Site License costs $400 (roughly equal to 27 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site (100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software.
A World-Wide License costs $800 and it covers all locations for your organization on the planet earth.
After sending in the Registration you will receive a Registration Number. Click on the triangle or □ click anywhere in the module and select the last menu item named 'Registerﾉ" and Fill in the registration code you received.
If HandyMan expired it will still be in the strip, waiting for registering. All icons will be gone, only the popup triangle will be available...
The ﾒKagi Online Order Processingﾓ Service
The simplest way to register is via credit card over the web using the Kagi Online Order Processing service. The URL for this is <http://order.kagi.com/?3QG&S> (or <http://order.kagi.com/?3QG> if your browser cannot handle secure transactions). If you do not have a credit card, or if you do not want to send money over the net, read on...
The ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ Application
Your copy of HandyMan should come with a small application called ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ, which you use to create a customized registration form to send to Kagi Shareware. If you do not have the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application, you should download a fresh copy of the whole HandyMan package. It is vital that you use the registration form since payments sent without the appropriate form can be delayed or lost.
When you launch the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application, it puts up a window asking for all the necessary information. Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding boxes at the top of the window. So that we can contact you, you must provide either a postal or e-mail address (please note that we do not reply by FAX). If you do not have an e-mail address, you must check the ﾒPostcard Receiptﾓ box (which automatically adds $1 to your charge) at the bottom right of the window. Otherwise, you will not receive any reply to your registration. Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window. Choose your method of payment from the popup and complete the relevant information (credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below.
Next, type the number of copies you want to register into the ﾒSingle Userﾓ box. In most cases you should just type ﾒ1ﾓ. Do not type the shareware fee into this box since the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application computes the fee for you. The ﾒSiteﾓ and ﾒWorld-Wideﾓ check boxes are intended for companies or organizations that want a license to use the shareware on all their machines. If you feel that the shareware program is worth more than the registration fee, you can add an optional bonus in the ﾒBonus US$ﾓ box.
Once you have filled in all this required information, the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window. You then need to create a registration form by clicking one of the following three buttons:
･ Print... prints a hard copy of the registration form, which you can then mail to Kagi Shareware.
･ Copy... puts a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for you to paste into an e-mail message to send to Kagi Shareware. This method works only with credit cards since it is not yet possible to e-mail cash or checks.
･ Save... saves a copy of the registration for to your hard disk as a SimpleText document for you to print out or e-mail later.
The Kagi Shareware e-mail and snail-mail addresses are given on the registration form.
Registering HandyMan
After you register, Kagi Shareware automatically sends you an e-mail reply titled ﾒThanks for your paymentﾓ. In addition to confirming your payment, this message also contains the Serial Number to register HandyMan (make sure you read all the way to the end of that message). You should save this message as your receipt and also in case you reinstall the shareware on a new machine and need the key to register again. If you checked the ﾒPostcard Receiptﾓ box in the Register program, Kagi will send you a postcard with this information. Again, if you do not have an e-mail address, you must request a ﾒPostcard Receiptﾓ since otherwise you will not receive any reply/key.
It can take Kagi Shareware up to a week to process a registration from the date they receive it (please make sure to factor in the delivery time if you use snail-mail). If you do not receive the ﾒThanks for your registrationﾓ e-mail message, contact Kagi Shareware at <support@kagi.com> or the postal address given on the registration form to ask about the status of your registration. Keep in mind that some registrations can get lost in the mail on the way to Kagi Shareware. Also, sometimes the e-mail reply gets lost as well (America Online is particularly unreliable when it comes to receiving e-mail from the internet).
Common Mistakes
･ If you do not provide an e-mail address, you must give a snail-mail address and check the ﾒPostcard Receiptﾓ box (this automatically adds $1 to the charge). If you do not, you will not receive any confirmation from Kagi, and in particular Kagi will not send you the key to register HandyMan. You have been warned (three times in this file alone, as well as with alerts in the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application).
･ You must send the registration form to Kagi Shareware and not to the shareware author. Kagi's e-mail and snail-mail addresses are given on the registration form itself, under the words ﾒSend this form to:ﾓ.
･ Make sure you type your e-mail address correctly. If your e-mail address is wrong, you will not receive Kagi's confirmation message or the key to disable the Annoying Shareware Messageｪ.
･ Do not e-mail Kagi the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application or send a screen shot of the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ window. You use the ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application to create a registration form (which consists of some text and possibly bar codes if you are using the printed version), and you then send that form to Kagi Shareware.
･ Do not type the shareware fee into the ﾒSingle Userﾓ box. This box is for the number of copies you want to register, and in most cases you should just type ﾒ1ﾓ. The ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ application automatically computes the total cost for you. Also, do not try to put an ﾒxﾓ in the ﾒSingle Userﾓ box; it only takes numbers.
･ Do not check the ﾒSiteﾓ or ﾒWorld-Wideﾓ boxes if you only want to register a single copy. These boxes are for companies or organizations that want a license to use the shareware on all their machines. If you mistakenly check one of these boxes, you will be charged significantly more than for a single copy.
･ Do not give a FAX number as the only means of contacting you. We do not reply by FAX, so we need either an e-mail or snail-mail address. In particular, if you have a FAX number but no e-mail address, you still need to check the ﾒPostcard Receiptﾓ box.
･ The ﾒRegister HandyManﾓ program is not an order form. All of the programs listed there are shareware, and it is assumed that you already have a copy of the programs you register. Neither Kagi Shareware nor the shareware authors will send you copies of these programs. You can download these programs yourself from any of the online services or internet Mac shareware archives. You can also get them from my web site <http://www.club.innet.be/~ind0836/mac/HandyMan.html>.
Kagi Shareware
Shareware registrations for HandyMan are handled by Kagi, a small company run by Kee Nethery that processes registrations for several dozen authors. Kagi is NOT a software publisher, and they do not provide technical support for HandyMan or any of the other programs they handle. For technical support for HandyMan, contact me at bwynants@kagi.com
