The upgrades to v4.7 of your existing installs is free, and if you need additional installs you will need to send $35 for each additional install required.

A: You should register for one copy of DOCMaker for $25. No additional fees are required.

A: You will be required to obtain two installations of DOCMaker and to pay the one-time commercial use fee. The new user commercial use fee is $225 which includes the fee for your first installation of DOCMaker and the second install of DOCMaker is $35, so your total fee requirement is $260.
 
Q: “We are a commercial company that would like to distribute manuals for five of our products in DOCMaker format. We will need 50 copies of DOCMaker to create and distribute the manuals in English, Spanish, and French. DOCMaker will be used by the 50 employees in two of our offices located in Boston, MA. How much is registration and licensing?”
A: You will need to obtain a local site license for DOCMaker. The local site license will provide you with licensing for commercial use, unlimited installation on your computers in your offices in the Boston area, and the language modules you need all for $450.

Q: “I am currently registered for DOCMaker and I have version 3.96. I am a commercial user but I do not want to upgrade to version 4.7 right now. Is there a solution for me?”
A: Yes, you may upgrade to version 4.1.1 at any time for no cost. You may use version 4.1.1 under the agreement stated in the v4.1.1 users manual. There will be no commercial use fee required unless you decide to upgrade to version 4.7 or later.

A: After registering for the two copies of DOCMaker and paying the commercial use fee, you will not have to report any information on the use and distribution of the documents that you create. When additional releases of DOCMaker come out, the upgrades will be free (handling charges will apply), and no additional use fees will be required.

Q: “I would like to produce an electronic periodical using DOCMaker. I’m not sure that anyone would pay for it, but I’d like to give it a try. How do I register?”
A: You should register as a shareware author. You must, though, distribute your manual as shareware so that people will have access to the journal and may pay you for it if they wish to continue to download it or continue to use it. The registration fee under this plan would be $25. Note that a ‘lite’ version of your document which is distributed for gaining subscriptions to a more robust fee-required version is constituted as commercial use.

A: Yes, please see the schedule on the order form.
