How do I buy a library?

You can purchase all of our libraries online through PayPal using the “Buy Now” link on each library’s homepage. PayPal accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and transfers from existing bank accounts. After paying, you will be directed to a site where you can download the library. If you prefer not to use PayPal, contact us.

Is there additional sales tax or shipping and handling?

No. The final cost (per developer) appears on each library’s homepage.

How many licenses do I need?

You should buy one copy for each software developer who will use the library. For example, if you have 5 programmers working on a project that will use the Wizard Library, you should purchase 5 licenses. You can purchase additional licenses later if additional members join your development team.

I am not satisfied with a library I purchased. How do I return it?

If you are not satisfied with a library within thirty days of your purchase and have not distributed the library to any consumer, you can return it for a full refund. For a refund, please contact us. By returning the product, you void the license and will not be able to use the library in your applications.

General Information

How do I use the library?

You use one of our libraries as you would any other Java library. Specifically, after unzipping the downloaded file, you include the appropriate .jar file in your classpath and reference public classes and methods in your application. More information can be found in the Readme file included in the download.

What does the license allow me to do?

After purchasing a developer’s license, you are permitted, free of charge, to distribute end-user programs that use the library. You are not allowed to resell the library or to reverse engineer it.
