| How to Register Shareware that you Download
|
|
Most software at our site has a link that brings you straight to the Author's WebPage. Most authors will provide you with instructions on how to register their products. The link is located at the bottom of the software record.

Since we do not support direct registration at our site, registering directly with the shareware Author will ensure you to have a successful registration process.
We are currently working very hard with authors in order to bring real-time registration into reality. Please stay tuned!!
