If you have a laptop running Vista and a home PC running XP, a single license key will work for both (after installing the appropriate download of The Magnifier). You may also install and license on a USB drive (using the appropriate download) using your license key and serial number. How do I purchase a license?Download the software, make sure it works for you, then click "Purchase License Now" in the IMG License Manager. It's that easy!

When licensed, they are not run-time limited in any way. The Story of "The Magnifier" (How this product was created)If you've read this far, then you might be interested to hear how this product came to be. Originally there was a magnifier panel on our on-screen keyboards (now the My-T-Soft family of on-screen keyboards), and we were told by some people that this was all they wanted - a magnification tool. So in 1997, we spent some time and released the first "windowed" magnifier. After some updates in 1998, the product cruised along for many years, and we often had questions about "full-screen magnification". When Microsoft released Windows Vista in 2007, they included a magnification API for the first time, and we felt the time was right to revisit the product and add in features and capabilities culled from user suggestions and available technology - the result is the 1.50 release, which includes everything everyone has asked for. The Magnifier delights many users, and many find it invaluable. This is a product created by customers, a great utility, ideal for many, truly affordable, and worth the download to see if it is right for you. If you want to try before you buy, simply Download the Magnifier software - when unlicensed, it operates as a fully functional demonstration version, and is easy to license directly on your PC.

End-user and Developer Support
The Magnifier is a standard Windows Application and does not require any special drivers, and should work with all keyboard and mouse emulation drivers that are compatible with the ones that ship with Microsoft Windows.
The Magnifier interfaces with the system via the Windows API, and is written to be compatible with any normal Windows application. Certain games and DirectX type interfaces will not operate correctly with The Magnifier (The Magnifier does not use video drivers). Also, because of this, any video issues or display problems are most likely related to the system and not to The Magnifier software. Always make sure you have the most up-to-date video driver for your video hardware.
The Magnifier Suggested Retail Price is US $49.95.
