Why the program should be registered?
ABF Magnifying Tools is distributed on a Try Before You Buy (shareware) basis. The evaluation (trial) version will only work for 30 days after the first install, and will show a trial reminder (Figure 3) on the program startup. If you like this program and decide to keep it, you will need to purchase a registration key. All limitations will be removed as soon as you register your copy of ABF Magnifying Tools.

How to register?
At first, you should obtain a registration key. You can purchase it on-line either by credit card, bank transfer or check. Ordering by Phone, FAX, and postal mail is also available. Please visit the registration page (www.abf-soft.com/buy.shtml) and purchase the program. It costs only $14.95 for the single license. There are some sale propositions for multi-licenses and bundles with other our software products.
Note: The price can be changed in future.
After purchasing you will receive an e-mail with registration key and instructions. You can enter the key in two ways:
1 way: The registration e-mail has a reg.key file in the attachment. Run this file (simply click on the attachment icon in Outlook/Outlook Express) it will add the registration data directly into the system registry.
2 way: Click on the Register menu item or Register button in the About dialog. A key input form will appear (Figure 4).

The registration key is a long sequence of different chars, so don't try to type it manually. Use the clipboard to copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the key. Press OK button.
At last, restart the ABF Magnifying Tools. If all steps are done right, the trial reminder (Figure 3) will not appear anymore and the registration information will be shown in the About dialog (Figure 5).
