It is vital that you use the registration program since payments sent without the registration form it generates can be delayed or lost. Included in this series are five other files, Purchase Order instructions, Email instructions, Fax instructions, and Postal mail instructions that are simple step-by-step instructions to help you. The other file is Common Mistakes. Please read the ones that you think apply to you, especially if you are going to skip the rest of this explanation.

The "Register" Application itself:

When you are ready to register and pay for SpotCheck, launch the Register program by performing the "Register..." option from the "File" menu. A window appears asking for all the necessary information. If you have previously registered a program through Kagi your personal information will appear, double check to see that it is right.

You must provide a postal address, a US$1.00 extra charge, or an email address, so that Kagi can contact you. Please note that Kagi does not reply by FAX.

Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding boxes at the top of the window.

If you have no email address enter "none".

Special Note: If you do not have an e-mail address, you must check the "Postcard Receipt" box (which automatically adds $1 to your charge) at the bottom right of the window. Otherwise, you will not receive any reply to your registration. You will be registered, but you will not have the codes. After the initial postcard receipt Kagi only replies via email.

Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window. Choose your method of payment from the pop up menu and complete the relevant information (credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below. Make checks payable to "Kagi Shareware". Checks must be in US Dollars only. Please write the program name on the check as well as your email address, if you have one. See Email, Fax and Postal instructions for more detail.

Note: Your credit card data is scrambled. It is not the world strongest encryption scheme but it seems adequate so far.

Note: Purchase Orders must include payment with the invoice. Please see the Purchase Order instructions file.

Next, indicate the programs you want to register in the middle of the window. Type the number of copies you want to register into the "Single User" box. In most cases you should just type "1". Do not type the purchase price into this box since the "Register" application computes the fee for you. The "Site" and "World-Wide" check boxes are intended for companies or organizations that want a license to use the software on all their machines. Double check this before you send in the form as you may be charged significantly more that you expect if you make a mistake.

If you feel that the program is worth more than the registration fee, you can add an optional bonus in the "Bonus US$" box.

Note: If the "Register" application lists more than three programs, and you can use the scroll bar at the right of the window to see the others.

Once you have filled in all this required information, the Register program displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window. Double check the total!

Choose one of these three items, see Email, Fax and Postal instructions for more detail.

Print... prints a hard copy of the registration form, which you can mail to Kagi with your payment to the address shown on the form.

Copy... puts a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for you to paste into an e-mail message to send to Kagi. This method works only with credit cards and First Virtual since it is not yet possible to email cash or checks.

Save... saves a copy of the registration to your hard disk as a document for you to print out or e-mail later.

Double check your registration request to see that all the information is correct, if not, correct it using the Register program. Do not edit the output produced by the Register program. The Kagi email and postal mail addresses are given on the registration form and above. Save a copy for yourself. We suggest printing it out. Note GenieWorks email address.

Kagi registration, how it works:

After you register, Kagi automatically sends you an e-mail reply titled "Thanks for your registration". You should print and save this message as your receipt. You will also need it if you reinstall the program for any reason. If you checked the "Postcard Receipt" box in the Register program, Kagi will send you a postcard with this information. Again, if you do not have an e-mail address, you must request a "Postcard Receipt" since otherwise you will not receive any reply.

It can take Kagi up to a week to process a registration from the date they receive it (please make sure to factor in the delivery time if you use postal mail). If you do not receive the "Thanks for your registration" e-mail message, contact Kagi at admin@kagi.com or the postal address given on the registration form to ask about the status of your registration. See *Kagi needs this data: below. Keep in mind that some registrations can get lost in the mail on the way to Kagi. Please make sure to seal the envelope and write your email address on the check. Also, sometimes the e-mail reply gets lost as well. If you do not receive an email confirmation of your payment, contact Kagi with the *Kagi needs this data: from below and ask what happened.

*Kagi needs this data:
Anything that you can provide Kagi with would be helpful, such as when and how you
sent your payment and any previous email messages sent. Please tell Kagi exactly what
you want them to do/send to you.
