Distribution and Licensing

Manual Maker is free for personal use or use by nonprofit or educational organizations, and Manual Reader documents may also be distributed under those conditions.  If you want to distribute a Manual Reader document with a commercial or shareware product, or if you just feel generous, please pay a $20 license fee.

The Manual Maker kit may be uploaded to online services and bulletin boards, or placed on CD-ROM collections of shareware, so long as it remains the full unaltered package as I released it.

Paying for Manual Maker is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies Manual Maker. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi Shareware. More specifics on the Register program to follow. 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 email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email 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 email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement. 

If you are paying with Cash or USD 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-JW
      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 non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.

If you have a purchasing department, you can 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 people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. 

Kagi Shareware can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end. 

Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.

Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi Shareware and then up to 10 days for processing.  Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi Shareware when the form is processed.
