This allows you to evaluate the program to determine whether it is worth anything, and then buy it if you are going to use it. You must register the program if you are going to use it. The version of WinJammer you have is fully featured. If you use WinJammer after a reasonable evaluation period of two weeks, register the program. If you don't think WinJammer is worth the money, let me know this too, and I'll see if I can satisfy you with the next release. Registration costs $50 US. To register, simply send me a cheque or money order for $50 US at the address below. Registrations are also accepted through Software Excitement!, who will accept Visa/Mastercard. For information on contacting them, please read the Registration topic in the Help file.
