Shareware registrations for Multimedia Animation Maker are handled by Kagi Shareware. Kagi is a small company that processes shareware registrations for several dozen authors. Kagi is not a software publisher, and they do not provide technical support for Multimedia Animation Maker. For technical support, contact us directly.
Your copy of Multimedia Animation Maker should come with a small application called “Register”, which you use to create a customized registration form to send to Kagi Shareware. If you do not have the “Register” application, you should download a fresh copy of the whole MAM package. It is vital that you use the registration form since payments sent without the appropriate form can be delayed or lost.
When you launch the “Register” application, it puts up a window asking for all the necessary information. Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding boxes at the top of the window. You must provide your postal and maybe your e-mail address (please note that we do not reply by FAX). If you do not have an e-mail address, you must check the “Postcard Receipt” box (which automatically adds $1 to your charge) at the bottom right of the window. Otherwise, you will not receive any reply to your registration. Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window. Choose your method of payment from the popup menu and complete the relevant information (credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below.
Next, in the middle of the window type the number of copies you want to register into the “Single User” box. In most cases you should just type “1”. Do not type the shareware fee into this box since the “Register” application computes the fee for you. If you feel that the Multimedia Animation Maker is worth more than the registration fee, you can add an optional bonus in the “Bonus US$” box.
Once you have filled in all this required information, the “Register” application displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window. You then need to create a registration form by clicking one of the following three buttons:
• Print... prints a hard copy of the registration form, which you can then mail to Kagi Shareware.
• Copy... puts a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for you to paste into an e-mail message to send to Kagi Shareware. This method works only with credit cards since it is not yet possible to e-mail cash or checks.
• Save... saves a copy of the registration for to your hard disk as a SimpleText document for you to print out or e-mail later.

After registering…
After you register, Kagi Shareware automatically sends you an e-mail reply. If you do not have an
e-mail address, you must request a “Postcard Receipt“ since otherwise you will not receive any reply.
If you do not receive the “Thanks for your registration” e-mail message, contact Kagi Shareware at
support@kagi.com or the postal address to ask about the status of your registration.
Some time later you will receive your personal registration code from us by postcard or by e-mail. Choose Register… in the Apple menu and type in your name and the registration code. Once you have registered, you are considered registered for all future shareware versions of Multimedia Animation Maker, so you do not need to reregister or pay any additional fees when you upgrade to a new version.
Please note
• It is very important that you provide your full name as the registration code is calculated of it.
• If you do not provide an e-mail address, you must give a mail address and check the “Postcard Receipt” box (this automatically adds $1 to the charge). If you do not, you will not receive any confirmation from Kagi, and in particular you will not get the registration code from us.
• You must send the the registration form to Kagi Shareware and not to us directly. Kagi's e-mail and normal mail addresses are given on the registration form itself, under the words “Send this form to:”.
• Make sure you type your e-mail address correctly. If your e-mail address is wrong, you will receive neither Kagi's confirmation message nor the registration code.
• Do not e-mail Kagi the “Register” application or send a screen shot of the “Register” window. You use the “Register” application to create a registration form (which consists of some text and possibly bar codes if you are using the printed version), and you then send that form to Kagi Shareware.
• Do not type the shareware fee into the “Single User” box. This box is for the number of copies you want to register, and in most cases you should just type “1”. The “Register” application automatically computes the total cost for you. Also, do not try to put an “x” in the “Single User” box; it only takes numbers.
• Do not give a FAX number as the only means of contacting you. We do not reply by FAX, so we need either an e-mail or mail address. In particular, if you have a FAX number but no e-mail address, you still need to check the “Postcard Receipt” box.
• The “Register” program is not an order form. It is assumed that you already have a copy of Multimedia Animation Maker. You can download it yourself from any of the online services or internet Macintosh shareware archives.
• Payments sent via postal mail take more time to reach Kagi and then for processing as it will for
e-mail. We will send you the registration code as soon as we receive word from Kagi that your payment has arrived.
• If you live in Germany please look out for the german version of Multimedia Animation Maker.
