Shareware Information

AutoCat™ is shareware. It is not free. If you decide to keep it (very good decision !), you should pay the $10 shareware fee. If you are a poor starving student like me, just try your best and I will register you.

There is no longer the annoying reminder message at startup. You will not be bothered when waiting for your registration number. Once you have paid, I will send you your registration number that will display your name instead of the "Unregistered copy" message at the bottom of the control  panel. Of course, you will be registered for all future updates of AutoCat™.

The shareware concept is based upon honnesty. That's why I decided to remove the reminders. I spend a great deal of time developing and perfecting AutoCat™.  I trust you. Thanks in advance.

How to Pay ? (Don't worry, it's VERY easy...)

• Using Kagi Shareware

I am now using the Kagi Shareware service run by Kee Nethery (kee@kagi.com).  This gives you greater flexibility in paying. Thanks to Kagi Shareware, you can pay the shareware fee with :
   - cash, in various currencies,
   - a check in US dollars, drawn on a US bank, and made out to "Kagi Shareware",
   - your credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or American Express).

You can send your payment by mail, fax, or e-mail (in this case, your card number is encrypted).
The Register program that comes with AutoCat™ creates a customized registration form that you can :
   - e-mail to shareware@kagi.com
   - fax to (+1) (510) 652-6589
   - post to :
        Kagi Shareware
        1442-A Walnut Street #392-OL
        Berkeley, California, 94709-1405
        USA

Don't forget to include the registration form with your payment !

Note : Kagi Shareware is only a registration service. If you have questions about AutoCat™, you should contact me directly. See the Contacting the author section.

• Posting directly to the author

You can pay direct to me (especially if you wish to include comments together with your registration). But I can only accept cash (US dollars or French francs), checks drawn on a French bank, or postal money order. Anything else will have to go through Kagi Shareware. My personal address is:
      Olivier Lebra
      8, rue Paul Bounin
      F-06100 Nice
      FRANCE
      Phone : (+33) 93 98 40 91

After Registering

As soon as your payment is received (either by Kagi Shareware or me), I will send you your registration number. If you have an Internet address, I will contact you via e-mail. If not, I will send you a letter. To receive the latest version of AutoCat™ and my other shareware and freeware products, just send me (and NOT Kagi Shareware) a floppy disk.

Once you have received your registration number, just click on the "Click here !" message at the bottom of the control panel and type your name and the number. Then you will see your name instead  of the "Unregistered copy" message and you will be entitled to feel good about yourself...
