You need to register an x.factory librarian to receive a License that allows certain features to be enabled. For an.factory, dx.factory, fs.factory and motif.factory registration allows MIDI data to be exported to the Synthesizer and for data to be saved to files on your computer. Essentially these librarians are released as "try before you buy" shareware. Prior to registration, you can run the program and load, import and manipulate data to see the potential value of the program, but you will need to register and purchase a license file in order to save and export data.
ex.factory is a little different from the others and you only need to register to gain access to
its MIDI features. This is because ex.factory started off as a humble public domain
application, and I made the decision to go shareware later in its development cycle when I was
developing the MIDI support. As all the other ex.factory features were freely available in
previous versions, I decided to keep these freely available for the time being. This will
probably change in the next release.
Registration of an x.factory series librarian costs $25 USD.
My preferred payment mechanism is via Paypal, although I will consider other payment mechanisms as long as you are prepared to pay any additional costs associated with the transaction, and as long as it is not too laborious. If you wish to use an alternate payment mechanism then please email registration@xfactory-librarians.co.uk with the details. Please note that if I have to deal with a lot of registrations in one go, priority will be given to registrations using Paypal as the payment mechanism.
To start the registration process you will need the serial number of your x.factory librarian.
To find your serial number, start your x.factory librarian and select the Register ... option from the Help menu, and you will see a dialog box similar to the following.
This is the dialog screen for an unregistered version of an x.factory application, which is showing:
NB: The serial number given in the above dialog is an example. You will need to provide the one being reported upon your system as the serial number will vary from system to system
To register an x.factory librarian, you need to make a note of the serial number from the registration dialog box and make a paypal payment of $25 USD to the following email address:
registration@xfactory-librarians.co.ukDon't forget to include the serial number in the Paypal transaction details. Once I have received payment, I will issue the license key, which is generated using the serial number you have provided.
Once I have received payment, I will generate a license key and send it back to you.
Please note that occasionally I work away from home (with limited or no Internet/email access), so please allow up to fourteen days to receive registration details or your license key before chasing me.
Once you have received the license key file (called license.jar), simply extract it from the zip file it comes in and place it in the same folder where you placed the x.factory librarian application.
I send out the license key zipped up because some email service providers do not allow JAR files to be sent as attachments, but a zipped jar file seems OK!
Please note that whilst an x.factory librarian is freely distributable, the license key I send you is not. Please respect this and the amount of effort I have put into developing this application.
Please note that the license key may become invalidated if you do certain things to your machine configuration:
If you do invalidate your license key you will have to apply for a new one. This will not cost you any extra.
Whilst I appreciate that some people may view this as an inconvenience, I have done this to make pirating of the license keys by simple copying a little more difficult.
