Licensing & Registration

This application is Copyright (c) 2006-2008 by Alex Franke, and it offered as what I like to call CollegeFundware. This means you're free to try it out for a reasonable period of time, but if you like it and want to keep using it, you need to contribute to my kids' college funds =).

Visit the Software Registration page on this site for details on how to legally use this software after a reasonable evaluation period. Important: By downloading and/or running this software, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth on the the Software Registration page page. (It's not that bad, really =)

When you register the product by contributing, any limitations the software may have will be removed, including registration reminder pop-ups windows. Registration may also "unlock" special features not available to unregistered users.

It's always difficult to suggest a donation amount for registration. I recommend considering the value of the time you save by using the tool, and contribute an amount you feel is reasonable and appropriate. Below is a general guideline that may also help you decide.

• $15-20 for private, personal use (e.g. hobbyist)
• $20-50 for individual professional use (e.g. contractor)
• $50+ if your company is writing the check

Installation & Tutorial

Clicking Download Now below will guide you through the process of installing the application on your computer. (If you're using Firefox, be sure you have the Firefox Click Once Extension installed.) The application will check for updates if you're connected to the Internet when it starts up. You'll be able to access the application (whether connected or not) from your start menu at Start > Program Files > plans.theFrankes.com > [AppName]

Trusted source? When you install, you'll get a pop-up that says the application is not from a "trusted source." Don't let that scare you -- it's just Microsoft telling you that I haven't paid a third party to verify that I am who I say I am. Ask around in the community where you leared about the application and you'll learn it's an app you can trust.
