ShrinkWrap can still be freely distributed via the Internet, local bulletin board systems (BBS), commercial on-line services, user groups and between friends. There is no licensing fee as long as ShrinkWrap is used for educational or non-profit use.
After a 90 day evaluation period, however, commercial organizations must now pay shareware fees or purchase a site license for all copies of ShrinkWrap that they continue to use. Shareware registration and site license applications can be easily processed through Kagi Shareware using the Register application that has been provided. Read on for more details.
Licensing ShrinkWrap™ for Commercial Use
ShrinkWrap has the following commercial site pricing:
Single-user licenses are $20 per user.
A Site License costs $500 and covers all locations for your organization within a 100 mile radius of your site (160 kilometers). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software at any given time.
A World-Wide License costs $1000 and covers your organization's locations anywhere in the world.
A Commercial Distribution License costs $2500 per year and includes rights to bundle ShrinkWrap with all your commercial hardware and software products. It includes a World-Wide License for your organization and even covers development of customized builds of ShrinkWrap that display your company logo in the splash screen, about box or progress bar. For more information on commercial distribution licensing, contact the author directly at <chad@halcyon.com>.
Paying for a ShrinkWrap commercial license is fairly simple. Open the Register program and 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 World-Wide licenses). Save, Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi Shareware. Kagi Shareware will handle the 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 (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 acknowledgment 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 acknowledgment.
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-CL
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, since the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not financially viable. 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 sent 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.
