I use a service provided by Kagi Shareware to process registration. You may use check, money order, cash or credit card to register. Register by opening the Register program included with Library Cataloger. Fill out the form and either save it or print it. If you wish to use a credit card, and you don't mind using e-mail to send your credit card data, you should fill in the information required and click on the save button. You may then e-mail the resulting file to sales@kagi.com. If you wish to send a check, cash, or you wish to use a credit it card but not use e-mail, you should print the registration form and send it to the address at the top of the printed document. Just for reference, the payment address is --
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-6C
Berkeley, California, 94709-1405
USA
As soon as Kagi receives your registration they notify me and then I'll send you a registration key via e-mail which will allow you to save files with more than 25 entries. Expect to receive the registration approximately 4-5 days after Kagi processes your registration. If you cannot or do not wish to use e-mail, please include your mailing information in your registration and I'll send you the key via normal mail. Please make sure to include the name under which you would like to register the product, and be sure the address includes the country in which you reside. Please do not fax or e-mail payment forms that indicate Cash, Check, or Invoice as the payment method. Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Payment sent via e-mail take 3-4 days to process.
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries, but if you pay via check it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies. If you are purchasing this for a business with a purchasing department, you may 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 department. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with payment. At the time of this release Kagi is not capable of generating an invoice, other than the one printed by the Register application.
To enter the registration key once you have one, click on the "Enter Key" button at the bottom of the information window which appears when the you start Library Cataloger, or open Library cataloger and go to the apple menu and select "About Library Cataloger" then click the "Enter Key" button. Enter the name you used to register the software (the name that you used when you used the register program) in the "Registered User Name:" field, and the key I've sent you in the "Registration Key:" field then click on the "Register" button.

This Software is being distributed as is. I make no claims as to its reliability and usability. I've done what I can to clean out all bugs, but I'm quite willing to believe that it could be made easier to use and that bugs may remain. Let me know if you experience any bugs, or have any suggestions about how to make this program work better for you.
Please register your copy and help support the concept of shareware. If enough people like this product and choose to register it I will continue to develop it. I've tried to price the program at a point where it will be worth my time to continue to improve it, but will be inexpensive enough that everyone who wants to use it (even students) should be able to afford it.
Version History:
This copy of Library Cataloger is release 1.1.1. Note: This version and all earlier versions do not support Balloon help. I'm considering adding Balloon help if there is enough interest in the product.
If there is sufficient interest in this product I will produce upgrades. If you have suggestions for added features and/or criticisms of the current release please send them to me at the address above or at the e-mail address:
