Registration
Jotz is a try-before-you-buy commercial product, commonly known as "Shareware".
If you wish to continue to use Jotz after the demo period expires (and you will definitely know when that happens) you have an ethical obligation to browse over to Kagi and pay the registration fee. You can get there by going to the Registration tab of the Jotz Preferences and pressing a few buttons.
Jotz will open the secure Kagi payment page in your web browser, and you can purchase a lifetime license for Jotz for (currently) $17.50.
Kagi will automatically email a Jotz registration number to you, generally within a few minutes.
Kagi also sends us a copy of that same email, including the registration number, so if you lose your number or your email goes astray, you can send an email to Thinkertons providing the same address and email that you provided to Kagi and we will email the serial number to you at your registered email address.
Note that the email does NOT contain any credit card information (not even the brand of credit card used). Thinkertons has absolutely no access to your credit card information -- only the Kagi payment service does.
If you choose to not register Jotz, all of Jotz's features will continue to function -- you can create and edit notes, send email, etc. However, your notes will all have big EXPIRED stamps on them when viewed in Jotz. They will still copy and drag normally, however, so your data is safe and unaltered. An expired copy of Jotz is not crippled, just stamped EXPIRED.
Jotz has become pretty popular, and there are a number of alleged Jotz serial numbers floating around on filesharing services like LimeWire. So far, all of the Jotz serial numbers that we have found "in the wild" appear to have been reverse -engineered from the demo serial number that Jotz comes pre-registered with. None of these serial numbers will actually register Jotz -- they don't even extend the demo period. Why do people continue to seek and download them? Interesting question.
If you have an old, expired copy of Jotz, and you want to give it another try, you can send an email to (Click Here) and get a special demo-rewind serial number emailed to you. This demo-rewind number will reset the Jotz demo period ...once.
