Updates

If the automagical updater that is built into kJams fails for some reason (or you're crashing during the update or on startup), it's probably due to a newly introduced bug, which is probably now FIXED in the current version. So just go download the latest version (see above right or find the one you want on this page), and install it manually (replacing the one that was there before). Hopefully from then on the auto-updater will work again.

Updates to kJams are always free, and they happen frequently. Upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0 is a paid upgrade.

If there's a brand new release, and you update to it, and it crashes on startup, believe me I already know about it and am working to fix it as you read this. (However, please tell me anyway, the more people that report it, the faster I work). Meanwhile, you can easily Downgrade to the previous version. When you run the downgraded version, do NOT update until there's an even newer version available, which should happen very shortly.

kJams 2 Open Development

kJams 2 development builds have been opened up for public purchase. Yes, you'd be buying into early access to software still in development, which means it may be buggy, and will have features missing. Please see the kJams 2 page for info about what is working and what is not.

WARNINGS for Windows users

See here for more Windows Specific Instructions!

WARNINGS for Mac users

See here for more Mavericks Information!

ShareWare

You don't have to buy it to try it out, it's ShareWare! Just go download it (see below). Note that unlike typical ShareWare, I provide FULL tech support and all updates are free. The ShareWare is limited by functionality, not by time, so there is no "expiration". See below for the Limitations.

Purchasing

First, see the Refund Policy
For instructions on how to purchase, see the section on Purchasing.

Disclaimer

Keep in mind that kJams 1.0.1 is currently "Beta". (click here for an explanation) That means I'm still ironing some bugs out, but it's definitely solid enough to run your shows and parties.

kJams 2.0 is in "Development". You have been warned.

You should also know this:

Telephone tech support is available on tuesday and thursday evening after 7pm
pacific time, and e-mail tech support is available usually within 1 business hour.

Limitations

There are some minor Tryout Limitations.

Requirements

System Requirements are listed here.

Other Things

This link describes just how to install kJams, and also how to install different audio encoders and decoders. There are some other interesting downloads there too (including a Sample song)

Plugins

the "Burning" plugin is built in, there is no installer! Try it and if you like it, buy it (see Prefs->Burning). To burn a full disc, requires purchase of either Lite or Pro (Burning Tryout allows you to burn 2 songs per disc). Go to prefs->burning!
Mac Only: the "Producer" plugin is built in, try it for free! If you're burning Discs with CD+G songs created with Producer, you'll have to purchase it to remove the red "X" marks.

 == Limitations ==
-The Unregistered version is limited in these ways:
+There are some minor [[Tryout Limitations]].
-Lite:
-* Can't export to QuickTime more than 10 songs
-* Can't add more than 3 songs to a any playlist (except for your library)
-* Can't rip or play anything other than tracks 1, 2 and 3 on any disc
-Pro:
-* Same as lite but:
-* Can't add more than 3 singers
-* Can't add more than 2 singers to the rotation
-* Can't add more than 2 songs to a singer's "Tonight" playlist
-* [[Music_Store/KaraokeCloud_Pro#Tethering|KaraokeCloud "Tethering"]] (offline-streaming) does not work due to having no serial number.
-Burning Plugin:
-* Can't burn more than 2 songs on a disc.  Note that even if you purchase the Burning plugin (by itself), in order to burn a disc with more than 3 songs you also must purchase either Lite or Pro, since the tryout version of the application limits the number of songs you can put in a playlist (see above under "Lite"), and you must create a playlist in order to burn your disc.
-Producer Plugin:
-* Your songs will have red X's in the lyrics of songs you burn to CD+G
-There are '''no other limitations'''.  If something goes wrong in the tryout version, do NOT assume that making the purchase will "fix" it or otherwise make it work, it is either a bug or a misunderstanding.  The code is *exactly* the same for the Tryout and the Licensed version, there is no different download.  Just download and run, it's up to you if you want to register it.  Also, the Pro version *is* the Lite version, just with several more features.  If something is wrong with the Lite version, it will also be wrong with the Pro version.
 == Requirements ==
-* To rip and/or burn, you'll need a [[Compatible_Drives|compatible drive]].
+[[System Requirements]] are listed here.
-* For '''kJams''': Any Mac running OS X <strike>10.3.9</strike> '''10.4''' or better, or Windows XP or better, and QuickTime 7.1 or better.
-* For '''Burning''': To burn more than 3 songs you must already have purchased kJams Lite or Pro.  Any computer that runs kJams, and on mac you '''may''' need [http://www.patchburn.de/ PatchBurn].  (You can test burning with a 2 song playlist using unregistered Lite or Pro and unregistered burning plugin, and you SHOULD!)
-* For the '''Producer''' plugin, same requirements as for '''Burning'''
-* An internet connection (at least temporarily) to the machine on which you plan to purchase and activate a license.
-* 4GB RAM if you have < 15,000 songs, Otherwise 6GB or more
-* don't add more than about 115k songs to kJams, it is only a 32bit program and the memory management scheme will make it run very slowly if you add more than that
-* 10GB '''free''' Hard Drive space, Recommend 250GB
-* 2 core (or more) Intel CPU at 2GHz. It [[PowerPC|will work on a PowerPC]] computer, for a short while, but Apple is dropping support *very soon*
 == Licensing and Serial Numbers ==
 Did you read the [[License Agreement]]?
-Salient Points:
+Here is all the info on [[Serial_Number|Serial Numbers]].
-* For kJams, one serial number (license) can activate 2 computers at a time, but only for ONE person, eg: NOT you and your wife.  Yes, you can have one mac and one windows.  For the plugins there is only one activation per license.
-* The Lite version is for home use only.  If you are doing public shows, you must purchase a Pro license.
-* Licenses and Activations *are* transferrable, just contact me ahead of time.
-* '''WARNING''': Activations are tied to your computer.  Your serial number may stop working if any of the following happens:
-** You replace your startup drive
-** You replace your networking card (ethernet)
-** Your Operating System makes a major change (eg: going from 10.4 to 10.5 can '''sometimes''' cause a deactivation)
-** You switch to a different computer.
-* If your serial number stops working simply contact me and I'll gladly reset your activations.  I usually respond within a couple hours.  If you KNOW you're going to upgrade your computer, contact me AHEAD of time so you don't have any down time at all.  I will reset your activations any time you ask, forever.
-* to activate another computer, go help->enter serial number, then paste your SN, do not type it.
-* More info in [[Serial_Number|Serial Numbers]]
