ordering and registration

How to order and register Snow for Windows

Your registration of Snow for Windows is in three steps:
1. You first order Snow for Windows on-line from Kagi.
2. You will receive an email containing your personal registration code.
3. You enter your registration code in the Snow for Windows program, as described below.

Benefits

After registration you can have more snow flakes, give Rudolf his red nose and save the settings. Also, Snow for Windows will startup quietly, without the settings window. The only thing visible will be the little icon in the lower right of your screen.

Ordering from Kagi using a credit card

Kagi is an online store that makes it easy and safe to pay for software products. I cannot personally handle credit card, check and cash payments, but Kagi can. You can order Snow for Windows using a secure form and a credit card, or alternatively by sending a check or even cash to Kagi.

Ordering from Kagi without credit card

If you do not want to use a credit card online, you can also use the Register application that comes with Snow for Windows. You can mail or fax your order, or even send it using postal mail. Payment methods can be credit card, check, and even cash. You will also receive an email with your registration code. Here is how to use the Register application for Snow for Windows.

Completing the registration

When your order has been processed by Kagi you will receive an email from Kagi containing your personal registration code. (If you ordered online using a credit card you usually will receive this mail within a few hours.) You need to enter your registration code into the Snow for Windows program to complete the registration process.

The keyword and the registration code are in the email from Kagi, look for something like this: 

     Registration
     ------------
     Your registration code is:  xxxxxxxxxx

Please follow these steps when you have received the registration email from Kagi:

  • Start Snow for Windows if it is not running

  • Display the settings window. If the settings window is not visible double-click the little Snow for Windows icon in the lower right of your screen. You should now have the Snow for Windows window on your screen, with the "Register..." button in the middle:

  • Click the button "Register...".

    A window opens where you can enter your name, a keyword and the registration code. It looks like this:

  • The keyword and the registration code are in the email from Kagi, look for something like this: 
         Registration
     ------------
     Your registration code is:  xxxxxxxxxx
  • Type your name, the keyword (if given) and the registration code into the fields and click "OK".

    Snow for Windows is now registered!

    Problems with registration

    Sometimes people experience difficulties registering. Here are a few things to check first, if your registration information is not accepted:
  • Be sure to type the registration code and keyword EXACTLY as in the email from Kagi.
  • See if your CAPS LOCK key is pressed (it should not be)
  • Be careful not to type extra spaces
  • Best is to type the registration information, and not to copy/paste the registration code and keyword. Often copy/paste results in extra spaces!
