1. Registering Through Kagi Shareware

 

 

Thank you for using Bernie ][ The Rescue! This emulator is the result of hundreds of hours, and we have invested quite some money and time to provide you with what we think is a quality product. If you like Bernie, then we're happy about that. Very happy, actually.

If you also like Bernie, you are eventually willing to agree on a small contribution. You can acquire a license for one installation for the pretty affordable price of $35. This allows us to develop better, stronger and faster Bernies.

We have special prices for schools and other educational institutions.

You can use Bernie in its unregistered state for an unlimited time. A single session times out after 30 minutes, though. Other differences between the registered and unregistered version are that Bernie won't save the preferences to disk and communications support is disabled.

We need your e-mail address to send you your registration key that unlocks your copy. Sorry, we do not send notifications per snail mail.

Again, we are unable to register your copy without a valid e-mail address.

To turn your copy into a registered version, you only need to pay the shareware fee. In order to make this process as simple as possible for you, F.E.Systems has signed up with Kagi Shareware, a company specialized in processing shareware fees. You can pay with credit card, check and cash.

 


1.1 The Old-Fashioned Way: Registering per E-Mail, Snail Mail, Fax

You will find a "Register" application in this archive that automates shareware payment. This Register application outputs an order form that you can

to Kagi Shareware along with your check, cash or credit card number.

 

Pricing

Bernie has the following pricing.

 

How To Register

Paying for Bernie is fairly simple. Open the Register program that comes with Bernie. Enter

  1. your name,
  2. your email address,
  3. the number of licenses

you wish to purchase. Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow.

 

Paying With Credit Card or First Virtual

If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@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 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.

 

Paying With Cash or Check

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
1442-A Walnut Street #392-XF
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 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.

 

Invoices

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

 

Dos and Donts

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 and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.

 


1.2 Cutting Edge: Online Registration

A more sophisticated method is to fire up your web browser and register online. To register online, point your browser at http://order.kagi.com/?XF . You can also connect to this site by starting Bernie and choosing "Register..." from the Help menu.

2. Bernie ][ The Rescue

 


2.1 Protection

Bernie has a protection scheme and when you pay, we tell you how to indicate to Bernie that you have paid the registration fee. We will send you an unlock key that activates all remaining features and removes the 30 minutes limit.

If you are having problems with the registration code you received or have questions regarding it, please contact F.E.Systems. We will gladly elaborate.

 

 


2.2 Validity of Your Registration

The license you buy from F.E.Systems is a single user license. It can't be transferred to other persons.

When registering your current copy of Bernie, you are buying a license for all versions 2.x of Bernie. We reserve the right to ask for a nominal charge for Bernies beyond 2.x.

 

 


2.3 Getting Help

If you are having difficulties with registration, drop us a line. Unlike other companies, we're still offering speedy human support.
