BinPatch registration
To register BinPatch choose one of the following options:
Start
the windows program REGISTER.EXE that comes with BinPatch. There you can
create a email or printout that allows you to buy BinPatch via credit card,
check, invoice or cash in allmost any currency. The program is very comfortable.
The creditcard number is being crypted before output and there's no case
known that misuse was possible with it. You can
download the program,
if you can't find it for some reason. Details on how to
use it below.
Esp. comfortable
and fast is registering with credit cards online. Then you simply browse
to http://order.kagi.com/?Y1 and
do it online. If you want security you may use the SSL-version at
http://order.kagi.com/?Y1&SL
instead to register BinPatch.
It's not
cheap to do so from other coutries than Germany, but you may put the money
directly on my bank account: Kay Hayen, Bordesholmer Sparkasse (German bank),
BLZ 21051275, Account number 110050453 and send me a email
to KayHayen@bigfoot.com, so I can
contact you.
Not yet tested,
but said to be possible to register BinPatch via CompuServe's SWREG. Entering
is said to cost money and they take high fees from authors. So if you can,
please choose other ways to pay, but of course, it's still welcome.
If you
ask me via email to
KayHayen@bigfoot.com before doing
so, you may send the money directly to my postal address, as output by the
binaries. Asking before is very good, to check out, if I moved inbetween
and of course you have to take the risk of your money getting lost.

How we do business:
Kagi Software does business via email. We receive postal mail, email, faxes
and phone calls, and process registration payments. Kagi Software processes
software product payments for several hundred authors and their programs.
We need for you to use the Register program that came with you program since
most of the payment processing is automated to keep costs low and frees us
help you when you need it.
How we can respond to you:
After processing we will send all registered users an email that will give
you more information about Kagi Software and your program. Email and fax
registrations will be sent an acknowledgement that we received your registration
request.
Because of the low percentage that Kagi Software charges for payment processing
we will not respond with a phone call, unless you have an "800" number or
receive collect calls, and we do not send faxes. The only mail that we send
is postcard receipts that have been paid for. Kagi Software is NOT a software
publisher and does not ship any product or return anything sent on disks.
Kagi Software does not provide technical support for any of the other programs
they handle.
For technical support:
Contact the author of the individual program. For BinPatch email
KayHayen@bigfoot.com. The email
address of the author should also be on the copy of the registration form
that you send us, so save a copy for yourself.
How to get help from us if you need it:
If you do not get a response from your registration request in a reasonable
amount of time, email four days, faxes six days, postal mail a few weeks,
please send the message below to us with the information entered. This way
we can help you as quickly as possible:
Anything that you can provide us with would be helpful, such as when and
how you sent your payment and any previous email messages sent. Please tell
us exactly what you want us to do/send to you.
Payment-method: Card, Check and check #, cash invoice or First Virtual
Register-to: Registrants name
Time/Invoice: if original had this number
Email: email address
Addr: If used
Card-name: card holder's name
Credit-card#: first 10 digits
Program: program name & cost
Your copy of "BinPatch" should come with a small program called "Register",
which you use to create a personalized registration form to send to Kagi
Software. If you do not have the "Register" application, you should
download
a fresh copy of the complete "BinPatch" package because the latest version
of "BinPatch" includes the Register program.
It is vital that you use the registration program since payments sent without
the registration form it generates can be delayed or lost. Included in this
file are five other files, Purchase Order instructions, Email instructions,
Fax instructions, and Postal mail instructions that are simple step-by-step
instructions to help you. The other file is Common Mistakes. Please read
the ones that you think apply to you, especially if you are going to skip
the rest of this.
When you launch the Register program, a window appears asking for all the
necessary information. If you have previously registered a program through
Kagi Software your personal information will appear, double check to see
that it is right.
You must provide a postal address, a US$1.00 extra charge, or an email address,
so that we can contact you. Please note that we do not reply by FAX.
* Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding
boxes at the top of the window. You have to supply a correct email
address under which "BinPatch" author and kagi can reach you with your
purchased keyfile or questions.
* Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window. Choose
your method of payment from the pop up menu and complete the relevant information
(credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below. Make checks payable to
"Kagi Shareware."
Checks must be in US Dollars only. Please write the program name on the check
as well as your email address, if you have one. See Email, Fax and Postal
instructions for more detail.
* Note: Your credit card data is scrambled. Although this is not completely
secure, we have never had a case of credit card fraud.
* Note: Purchase Orders must include payment with the invoice. Please see
the Purchase Order instructions file.
* Next, indicate the programs you want to register in the middle of the
window. Type the number of copies you want to register into the "Single User"
box. In most cases you should just type "1". Do not type the purchase price
into this box since the "Register" application computes the fee for you.
The "word-wide" option is intended for companies or organizations that want
a license to use the software on all their machines. For a single site with
100 miles radius companies or organizations may choose the cheaper "site"
option. Double check this before you send in the form as you may be charged
significantly more that you expect if you make a mistake.
* If you feel that the program is worth more than the registration fee, you
can add an optional bonus in the "Additional BinPatch keyfiles" box.
Once you have filled in all this required information, the Register program
displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window. Double check
the total!
Choose one of these three items, see Email, Fax and Postal instructions for
more detail.
Print... prints
a hard copy of the registration form, which you can mail to Kagi Software
with your payment to the address shown on the form.
Copy... puts
a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for you to paste into an
e-mail message to send to Kagi Software. This method works only with credit
cards and First Virtual since it is not yet possible to email cash or checks.
Save... saves
a copy of the registration to your hard disk as a SimpleText document for
you to print out or e-mail later.
Double check your registration request to see that all the information is
correct, if not, correct it using the Register program. Do not edit the output
produced by the Register program. The Kagi email and postal mail addresses
are given on the registration form and above. Save a copy for yourself. We
suggest printing it out. Note the author's email address.
Kagi Software registration, how it works:
After you register, Kagi Software automatically sends you an e-mail reply
titled "Thanks for your registration". You should print and save this message
as your receipt. You will also need it if you reinstall the program for any
reason. If you checked the "Postcard Receipt" 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 "Postcard
Receipt" since otherwise you will not receive any reply.
It can take Kagi 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 postal
mail). If you do not receive the "Thanks for your registration" e-mail message,
contact Kagi at
<support@kagi.com> or the
postal address given on the registration form to ask
about the status of your registration. See "We need
this data": above. Keep in mind that some registrations can get lost
in the mail on the way to Kagi. Please make sure to seal the envelope and
write your email address on the check. Also, sometimes the e-mail reply gets
lost as well (AOL is particularly unreliable when it comes to receiving e-mail
from the internet). If you do not receive an email confirmation of your payment,
contact us with the "We need this data:" from above
and ask what happened.
