How To Register

What does it mean to register?

     Registration simply means that you pay for the program.  XTimer will prompt you with a shareware screen, reminding you that if you continue to use XTimer you should pay for the program.

Single User License: costs $15.

Site License: costs $300 (equal to 20 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.

World-Wide License: costs $1400 and it covers all locations for your organization on the planet earth.

What to do:     DO NOT SEND CASH!

Standard Registration

If registering by check from within the United States:

     First, print out the registration form.  You can save a copy of the registration form with this program.  Fill in your information using SimpleText (TeachText), then print it out.  You can also print the registration form out directly from XTimer, by either selecting the item "Print Registration Form" from the Apple menu, or clicking the "Print Registration Form" button on the shareware screen, and XTimer will print it out for you.

     Second, fill out the form.  No biggie.  Just enough info to tell me who you are, how to contact you, what your system setup is like (so I can identify problems that may come up on certain systems), and there's space for you to write comments about XTimer.

     Third, fold up the form and mail it to the address shown on the form, along with your payment.

Registering On CompuServe

     XTimer can also be registered online via CompuServe (GO SWREG), XTimer is #5002.  You will usually receive your code within hours of registering via CompuServe.

If registering by any means other than by check, or if you live outside of the United States...

Registering Through Kagi Shareware

   Use the Register program included with XTimer to register through Kagi Shareware.  

Using the Register program:

     Open the Register program that accompanies XTimer.  Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses).  Save, Copy, or Print the information from the Register program and send it along with your payment to Kagi Shareware.

If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax your registration information to Kagi Shareware.

Their email address is:  shareware@kagi.com
Their fax number is +1 510 652-6589.

You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the information to a file and attach that file to an email message.  There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.

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.

If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print your registration information using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:

          Kagi Shareware
          1442-A Walnut Street #392-EL
          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 Shareware 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.

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

Please do not fax or email 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 email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.

Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi Shareware and then up to 10 days for processing.  Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi Shareware when the form is processed.

Kagi Shareware will notify me as soon as your payment has been processed.

What happens next:

    You receive a personal registration code that will work with your name.  Time to let XTimer know you're a paying customer.  Select "Register" from the shareware screen, or from the Apple menu.  Enter your name and code into the spaces provided.  Presto, XTimer personalizes your copy (peek at the About screen now...), pats you on the back, and you're on your way.  No more shareware screen, or bothersome items on the Apple menu!

Shareware exists because people like you support its existance.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Those of you who registered, paying at the old shareware fee of $5, after the grace period ran out; will not be able to register versions of XTimer beyond v1.5, until you send in your upgrade payment.  I notified those this applies to of this consequence when I sent you your registration code.

If you should have received a new code for version 1.6 and I have not contacted you, please contact me.  I have complete records and I can verify your registration and forward your new code to you quickly. 
------------------------------------------------------

Support for XTimer-XTra, sibling program to XTimer, was discontinued  in March 1995 due to lack of interest; however, in time XTimer will incorporate features that will eliminate the need for two versions.
