IMPORTANT NOTICE - ALL REGISTERED USERS
************************************************
Bio-Rhythms no longer uses the Braintree MoneyPump system to handle registrations. This is due to Braintree's decision to no longer offer these services.
This now allows us to offer single multi-use licenses which wil allow you to install Bio-Rhythms on each computer you own or use. These are shipped on CD and upgrades from single-use licenses (one computer, one install), the current licensing program are available on our web-site at http://www.jsoftconsulting.com/order.htm.
Upgrades for single-use licenses are still free to registered users. Please follow these steps to receive your new registration code.
1. Install Bio-Rhythms in the same directory the MoneyPump enabled version is already installed in.
2. Click on Help|Administration|Computer ID and send the 8 digit code (looks like 123A23DE) along with your name, email address, the name of this software and the approximate date you registered Bio-Rhythms to upgrades@jsoftconsulting.com.
3. We will email you back with the correct code to enable your copy of Bio-Rhythms.
We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this switch in registration modules was beyond our control.
Thank you for choosing Bio-Rhythms.
