There are several reasons to register: First, because you like Sloop and find it useful. Second, because the price is reasonable. Third, to support my efforts to write more good software for the Macintosh. Fourth, an annoying shareware notice that appears every once in a while won't appear any more! Once you register, as detailed below, I'll send you a registration number that will disable the annoying shareware notice.
Price
Sloop has the following pricing:
• Single User License: US$20
• Site License: US$500
• World-Wide License: US$2000
A single user license applies to one person. A site license covers all locations for your organization within a 160 km (100 mile) radius of your site. With a site license you don't need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software. A World-Wide license covers all locations for your organization on the planet.
How to Register
There are two ways to register. If you want to pay with a credit card and have world-wide-web access, you can register online. (A secure, encrypted form is available if your browser supports it). For more information about online registration, go to the Quadratic web site at
<http://www.quadratic.com/>
You can also pay using a variety of other methods with the Register program that accompanies Sloop. Open the Register program. Enter your name, your e-mail address, and the number of single user licenses you desire (or site or world-wide licenses). Save or copy or print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi Shareware. Kagi Shareware handles my payment processing.
If paying with credit card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi Shareware. Their email address is <shareware@kagi.com> and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an e-mail message or you can save the data to a file and attach that file to an e-mail message. There is no need to compress the data file; it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via e-mail are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an e-mail acknowledgment when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days.
Please note: You must provide a correct internet e-mail address to receive an e-mail acknowledgment of your payment as well as a registration number.
If paying with cash or US$ check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi Shareware
1442-A Walnut Street #392-HG
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 a non-US$ check is around US$15 per check and that's not practical considering that Sloop only costs US$20.
The invoice option is for companies with purchasing departments. If that's you, then enter all the data, print three copies of the form, and send it to your accounts payable people. They must include a copy of the form with their payment.
Please do not fax or e-mail forms that indicate cash, check, or invoice as the payment method. These need to be sent through the postal mail with payment. Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi Shareware and then up to 10 days for processing.
