Product Key FAQ

Q: Who is behind Gallery Server Pro?

A: My name is Roger Martin. I am the creator and lead developer of Gallery Server Pro. My primary source of income is donations by people like you who find Gallery Server Pro useful. I also run a software consulting company Tech Info Systems that comes in handy when donations don't quite pay the bills.

Q: If Gallery Server Pro is open source, why does it need a product key?

A: The primary purpose is to bring users back to the Gallery Server Pro website after an initial trial period to provide an opportunity to give a donation. A donation is not required, though.

Q: How much does it cost to get a product key?

A: Nothing. The Product Key Wizard gives you a valid product key even if you choose not to donate.

Q: When do I enter the product key?

A: You may enter the product key at any time after installation. Gallery Server Pro is fully functional for the first 30 days. At the end of the trial period, a watermark appears on each image and the Site admin area becomes read-only. Entering the product key restores the functionality, so there is no need to enter the product key until the end of the trial period.

Q: Where do I enter the product key?

A: First, get the product key from the Product Key Wizard. Then log on to your installation of Gallery Server Pro and click Actions - Site admin. Enter the product key on the page that appears.

Q: Do I have to provide any personal information?

A: No. You can remain totally anonymous if you want. However, if you provide a donation, than PayPal may share a little information with me. This is required if you donate at a level where I send you a thank you gift. I can't send you a gift if I don't have your address.

Q: What do you do with my personal information?

A: My Privacy Policy is this: I will never share your data with anyone. Ever. I may, every once in a while, contact you to let you know about a new release of Gallery Server Pro or other related news. Any time I contact you, I will provide a means for you to remove yourself from future contact. I hate spam as much as you do, and I promise not to abuse your trust.

Q: Can I edit the source code so that it doesn't require a product key?

A: Of course. Gallery Server Pro is open source, so you can do anything you want that complies with the GNU General Public License. Having said that, it doesn't really make sense to waste time removing traces of the product key. Remember that it is free - no donation required - and easily retrieved through the wizard.

Q: Arrgghh! I am getting an error! What do I do now?

A: Please let me know, and I'll help you through it. The Product Key Wizard integrates with PayPal, and while I did my best to make it robust, it may not be perfect. I am committed to fixing any issues, but I need you to let me know if there is a problem. If you are in critical need of a product key, you can find my phone number on the Tech Info Systems web site.
