Questions and Answers
Q. If I register, will I get future versions for free?
A. Yes, absolutely.
Q. Why can't XChat for Windows be free?
A. It's free to try for the first 30 days! Building XChat for Windows is a difficult process, it requires quite some skill and expertise to accomplish. It takes time, and is by no means automated. This version also has some value added features only for Windows, such as opening irc:// URLs from your web browser in an existing instance of xchat, spell checking and graphical emoticons.
Q. Does registration entitle me to technical support?
A. We ask you to evaluate the product for free for 30 days to make sure it suites your needs. We're happy to answer any email questions, but there is also another good source of help and information: the public forums.
Q. Which versions of Windows does XChat work on?
A. Nearly any version you'd care to run it on, including:
Windows Server
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Q. What about the LGPL libraries you link with?
A. The source code is here if you wish to download it. The bugs I've fixed have already been submitted to the relevant bugzillas with patches. The readme.html file has further details. This file is not useful for the average user, if in doubt, you don't need this
smile Q. I've previously registered, but lost my key file, can I have it resent?
A. We can only resend key files that have been purchased within the last 60 days. Please email if this applies to you. If it's been longer than 60 days, unfortunately you will have to register again.
