Main Register Dialog

This is the first dialog you see when you start your registration process. Please type your name or the name of your organization in Register To: field. If possible, provide your Internet email address. The Postal Address is optional, unless you request a printed receipt. If you provide an email address, you will be always notified electronically when your payment is processed, no matter if you requested a paper receipt or not.

Select the software you intend to register with appropriate licenses. You may type a number of single user licenses you need, or check a box for a site license or a world-wide license. Site licenses cover a single organization for an area of up to one hundred miles (160 km) in radius. A world-wide license covers everyone in a single organization. Please observe and verify the total of your payment as you select licenses.

When done with the licenses, select the payment method in Payment Details frame and provide all necessary data, e.g. your name exactly as it is printed on your credit card, the credit card number and

expiration date, etc.

When done, click the Next >> button. At that moment some of the data you entered is verified, and if any errors are found you have an option to correct them. Otherwise, the Register program switches to the next dialog that may be either an optional Keyword Entry Dialog, that will ask you to enter keywords necessary to register your programs (if any are required), or to the Output Dialog, where you can print, email or save your registration. You have always an option to return to earlier stages if you need to verify or correct anything.

You may use the Open... button if you previously saved your registration in binary format from the Output Dialog,  in order to print or fax it later.


Optional Keyword Dialogs

Some shareware programs may require you to enter extra information that is necessary to issue you the licenses, e.g. the author may need to ship you a code that will fully enable the program or remove the Please register messages. If that is the case, the keyword entry dialog will appear after your press the Next >> button from the Main Register Dialog. A text message at the top will explain what kind of keywords are required. You may enter the keywords in any order, separating them by spaces, new lines or commas. When done, press the Next >> button again. Register will switch to collecting codewords for the next product you ordered, or to the final Output Dialog.

You may also press the Previous >> button to go back to an earlier keyword entry dialog to the Main Register Dialog.


Register Output Dialog

This is the last step of the registration process. If you intend to pay with a credit card or First Virtual account, you may sent it to us over the email. Please click the COPY radio-button and the OK button to transfer the registration text to Windows Clipboard. Next paste the registration text into an email message and send it according to the instructions in the body of this message. If your email system is currently not available or you must email it from another machine, you can also save the registration text to a file in text format.

If you are paying with check, invoice or cash, you must print the registration form from this Register Output dialog. Please click the PRINT radio-button and then the OK button. The form you will print will contain bar codes, which make it easier to process. Please send this form together with your payment. Credit card or First Virtual payments may also be printed and mailed with postal service, or they can be faxed.

If you need to save your register form in order to print or fax it later, please use the SAVE as a binary file radio-button. You will be prompted for a file name, the default extension of which is .RGS. If you need to take this file to another machine for printing or faxing, copy it together with this register program (REGISTER.EXE). Then start REGISTER on another machine and use Open button in the Main Register Dialog to load it in. Please delete the .RGS files as soon as you no longer need them, since they may contain sensitive information like your credit card number and expiration date. This sensitive information is encoded when you print or email your registration for better security.


About Register

Register for Windows program was written by Grzegorz (Greg) Kochaniak according to specification provided by Kee Nethery of KAGI SHAREWARE. To contact Greg, send email to gregko@kagi.com or check his WWW home page at http://198.207.242.3/authors/gregko/     Gregs current postal address is:

3146 Chestnut Street

Murrysville, PA 15668

USA

To contact Kee, send email to kee@kagi.com. To learn more about KAGI SHAREWARE services point your WWW browser to http://198.207.242.3/

REGISTER can be configured for a payment processing service company other than KAGI, or the shareware author can accept and process payments himself. All the sensitive information like credit card numbers and expiration dates is scrambled before emailing/faxing/sending with an algorithm customized for every payment processing service individually, so you must contact Greg if you want to use it with any service other than KAGI. You will receive a description of the decoding algorithm together with a special password and other parameters that are different for every vendor using REGISTER.

REGISTER by default is configured to work with KAGI SHAREWARE payment processing service in Berkeley, CA. REGISTER can be easily customized without recompiling for every shareware author or software vendor and other registration services. A standard fee for using it is a royalty of 0.5% of the processed payment amount. Other arrangements can be negotiated with Greg. If you want to use KAGI service, you may contact Kee directly. For the latest version of REGISTER together with sample configuration file and description how to modify it contact the author (email gregko@kagi.com), or check his WWW home page http://198.207.242.3/authors/gregko/     Fairly recent  versions of REGISTER should be also available from CICA or SimTel archives, look for file named regisXXX.zip, where XXX is the version number.
