Contains the program version and legal notices, and handles Registration.

Note: When first installed, the freely distributable Beatnik Editor is fully functional - except that the File menu commands Open, Save, Save As..., Export RMF... and Export as Audio are disabled. These features - which are essential for using the Beatnik Editor in professional Web and multimedia development - are reserved for users who purchase a Registration Key.


The About Beatnik Editor dialog box includes the software version number, legal notices, and the registration status of your copy of the software:
  • If you've already registered your copy of the Beatnik Editor, the About Beatnik Editor dialog box includes your name, email address, and serial number.
  • If your copy of the Beatnik Editor hasn't been registered yet, the About Beatnik Editor dialog box notes that the program is Unregistered, and includes a Register button.

Registering the Beatnk Editor

To register your copy of the Beatnik Editor:
  1. Using your Web browser, purchase a Registration Key from the Beatnik Web site:

http://www.beatnik.com/to?editor

Follow the instructions on the Web page, and you will receive a Registration Key - a sequence of numbers, letters, and dashes that looks something like this:

TX6F-H3RRTF8-Q32U-X9M2D

  1. Launch your installed copy of the Beatnik Editor.

A new Untitled Session document window appears.

  1. Open the About Beatnik Editor dialog box. This step depends on your operating system:
  • On Windows, go to the Help menu and select About Beatnik Editor.
  • On Mac OS, go to the Apple menu and select About Beatnik Editor.
  1. In the About Beatnik Editor dialog box, click the Register button.

The Registration dialog box appears.

  1. In the Registration dialog box, enter your User Name, Email Address, and Registration Key.

Be sure to enter exactly the same User Name and Email Address that you used when purchasing the Registration Key, and type the exact Registration Key you received. If even one letter is different, the program will not register successfully.

  1. Click the OK button.

If the Beatnik Editor detects a problem with your information, it will ask you to re-check your entries. Otherwise, your copy will be registered and the Export RMF... and Export as Audio... commands will be enabled.
