REGISTERING WEIGHT A'MINUTE

Weight a'Minute is shareware. Shareware is try-before-you-buy-ware. This means you may try Weight a'Minute for a while before deciding whether you wish to buy it. To encourage you to make a purchase, you are limited to no more than ten entries unless you can enter a valid registration code.

Weight a'Minute has the following pricing:

  • A basic single user licence costs $8. For this, you get a registration code which you may enter into the program to remove the ten record limitation.
  • A full FileMaker version single user licence costs $14. For this, you get a registration code which you may use to open the program from within FileMaker Pro. With this code, you gain complete access "under the bonnet" of Weight a'Minute, so you can use FileMaker Pro to customise it in whichever way you desire.

Paying for Weight a'Minute is simple. You can register directly over the internet by going to https://order.kagi.com/?SCM. Or you can:

  • Open the Register program that accompanies Weight a'Minute. You will be presented with the screen shown in the picture below.
  • Enter your name, your e-mail address, and the number of single user licenses you desire.
  • Save, copy or print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi, the company that handles payment processing for Weight a'Minute.

Please note that the screenshot is taken from an Apple Macintosh version of the Register application. The Windows version looks slightly different but all of the features are still available.

The different payment options are outlined below.

Entering Your Registration Details

Entering your registration details is also simple:

  • Launch Weight a'Minute or, if it is open, open the About screen.
  • (Open the About screen by clicking on the picture of the scales in the top left-hand corner of every screen or by choosing About Weight a'Minute from the menu.)
  • Enter your name in the name box.
  • Enter the registration code in the registration code box. (Enter the code exactly as provided by lambert/rubicon.)
  • Click the register button.

You are now registered. Please keep a copy of your registration details in case you have to reinstall Weight a'Minute.

Register Application

The different payment methods are outlined below.

Credit Card/First Virtual

If you are paying by credit card, or you are using First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589 (which is a number in the USA; remember to add the correct country code if you are dialling from outside the USA). You can either:

  • Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message.
  • Save the data to a file and attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file as it is already small.
  • If you have a fax modem, just print the data direct to the Kagi fax number using your fax software.

Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.

Cash/USD Check

If you are paying with cash or USD check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:

Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-SCM
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA

You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies; the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.

Invoice

If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment.

Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on its behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork at your end.

Please do not fax or e-mail payment forms that indicate cash, check or invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or e-mail and without the payment, the form cannot be processed. Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct e-mail address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
