Single-User License: $39 per user
Site License: $750
World-Wide License: $3000
A Site License covers all locations for your organization within a 100 mile (160 kilometer) radius of your site. 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 Render-Boy. A World-Wide License covers all locations for your organization world-wide. The registration is valid for all future versions of Render-Boy at no additional cost.
The Render-Boy registration is handled through the Kagi Shareware
payment service. If you are already familiar with Kagi, just follow the
usual steps. Registration is basically a three step process:
1) You send registration and payment information to Kagi.Render-Boy will display shareware reminders at startup (and display a large white "X" across all rendered images) until the software is registered.
2) Kagi informs me, Paul Rybarczyk, that you have registered.
3) I send you a unique user name and registration code for Render-Boy.
If you intend to pay by credit card, you can register
right now on the web (and probably skip reading the rest of this page).
This is done through Kagi's web site and their (optional) secure SSL server.
This is the quickest and easiest way to register, and full instructions
are provided along the way.
If you don't register online, you must use the "Register" program
(included with Render-Boy) to provide your registration and payment information
to Kagi. This is also a three step process.
1) Open (double click) the "Register" program that accompanies Render-Boy. Extensive "balloon help" is available within this program.
2) Enter your name, your email/postal address, and the number of Single-User Licenses you desire (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Also specify the "Payment Details" about how you wish to pay.
3) Save, Copy, or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More details about this follow below.
Kagi supports many forms of payment: Check, money order, cash, invoice,
VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and First Virtual. You decide.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi, or register online as described above.
Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is 1-510-652-6589. For email, 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 attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you choose to use a fax modem, just print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are usually processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email or postcard acknowledgement when it is processed. Email is always preferred. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days, and if you provide a correct internet email address you will still receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should [Print] the data
to paper using the Register application and send it to the address shown
on the form, which is
KagiYou 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, since the conversion rate for non-US dollar checks is too high to make this practical.

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, so 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. This would not make sense, since you cannot transfer physical payments via fax or email, and Kagi will not process registrations without payment.
Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing.
Within a few days of sending in your payment, Kagi will be notifying
me of your registration and I (not Kagi) will be sending you your unique
user name and registration code. This process will typically take
less than three days. If I am on vacation and away from my email,
it may take longer, but this is rare. You will receive the information
by email if possible, otherwise U.S. mail. Clearly, U.S. mail adds
a few more days.
The registration code you receive works with all future Render-Boy versions.
Kagi is essentially an Internet based mail order sales company that
specializes in the sale of software, both commercial and shareware. Kagi
accept credit cards, cash from many countries, US checks and First Virtual
payments. Kagi handles all aspects of paying for and registering software;
collection of payer information, processing of payments, replies to payers,
detailed accounting to authors, site license invoicing, etc. The idea is
to make it easier for everyone involved with software; easier for you to
pay software fees by providing a variety of payment methods, easier for
authors by easing the administrative burden.
Questions to Kagi can be sent via email to "admin@kagi.com". Much more detailed information is available at the Kagi web site.
