Ordering

We need a few more days until our new payment processing goes live, so even though 1.0 final is out, you can still make use of our preorder deal: for 35USD you get licenses to use the app on five personal computers (but not servers). Those licenses are reusable, so that if you stop using one of your computers due to an upgrade, or if it breaks or for any other reason, you can revoke a license issued to it and reuse it for a different computer. We are also working on a Mac OS X version and if you have any Macs these licenses will eventually be usable there as well. We will be completely restructuring our offer after a 1.0 release, so this is one of the last days this deal is available.
