Free updates for 2 years included

To ensure that you can easily stay up to date with the most recent version of PopChar, we include a 2 years free upgrade service with every purchase. If you newly purchase or upgrade to PopChar X+Pro now, your license key includes free updates to new PopChar X+Pro releases for two years (starting with the date of purchase). This includes minor releases (such as bug fixes and small improvements) as well as major releases with new features.

Please note that this does not mean that your license will expire after two years. You can use a registered copy of PopChar without limitation, but your license key will not be valid for newer versions that are released more than two years after the purchase of the license key.

License Renewals

If your 2 years update period has expired, you can purchase a two years license renewal for a reduced upgrade fee. Please see the License Renewals section below.

Educational discounts

An educational discount of 30% is granted for quantities of 30 and above, if you want to use PopChar for educational purpose only. Please ask our customer service for details.

Special Offer:

To help you better understand and manage your fonts in Mac OS X, we have teamed up with Take Control Books to bring you a special limited-time offer. When you purchase either PopChar X or the Macility Productivity Bundle, you will receive an exclusive 30%-off coupon for Sharon Zardetto Aker's 255-page Take Control of Fonts in Leopard ebook.

In fact, the discount will apply to all ebooks you order, so if you act now, you can easily save more than you pay!

Distribution

PopChar X is being distributed as a Mac OS X disk image (DMG format). To install PopChar X, download it, mount the disk image, and drag the PopChar X application to your Applications folder. As long as you do not have a license key, PopChar X operates in trial mode: some special characters are dimmed in the PopChar X table.

Delivery

All prices on this page apply if you download the software yourself. If you want to order a CD-ROM version, we will charge extra EUR 20 for handling and shipping. Please note that CD-ROM versions cannot be ordered online but only by fax or mail.

If you want to install PopChar X+Pro on many Macs and don't want to fiddle around with license keys, we also offer Site licenses.

A Site license reduces your administrative work, because you do not need to keep track of multiple license keys. We offer a special Site package which does not need different license keys for each machine.

If your 2 years update period has expired or if you own an old copy of PopChar Pro, you can purchase a 2 years license renewal.

Whereas other software vendors offer upgrades at a reduced price for just a single new version, our license renewals cover ALL subsequent releases of PopChar X and PopChar Pro within two years, starting with the date of purchase.

License renewals are available only for online orders with credit card payment. Please visit our Online store to order a License Renewal.

Prices for 2 Years License Renewals:

You can purchase a License Renewal for a multi-user pack up to the number of users of your original license. Please note that you can take advantage of the reduced price only ONCE. If you upgrade your license for a smaller number of users, we do not offer another upgrade discount for the remaining number of users.

Renewal Prices for Higher Volumes

For quantities of up to 30 licenses, please combine the standard packages. For higher quantities, please contact our customer service for a quote.

Which version do I need?

Due to the technical differences between PopChar X (for Mac OS X) and PopChar Pro (for Mac OS 9), we distribute them as two separate products.

For the convenience of our customers, however, we do not sell separate licenses for the Pro and the X version.

Instead, one license key allows you to install either the X version or the Pro version on one computer. If you are using a dual boot strategy (boot into Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 alternatively), you may also install the Pro version AND the X version on the same computer. However, you must not use one license key to register a Pro version and an X version on two computers at the same time.

You therefore don't need to decide whether you should purchase PopChar X or PopChar Pro - one license covers both versions.

Upgrade from earlier PopChar Pro licenses

Old PopChar Pro license keys do not work with PopChar X. However, if you own an earlier version of PopChar Pro you are entitled to upgrade to the current version (including PopChar X) for a modest upgrade fee.
