No, I was misunderstood (my fault): Why should I register for XnView? :)

Oh, that. For regular xnview you don't get anything except the right to use it commercially. The full version of normal xnview is 100% free for private use, you only need to register if you plan to use it commercially.

If you're talking about getting xnview deluxe, that's an entirely different matter. Deluxe has a trial version available (I believe it has a time limit), but you must buy it to have full use of it. Features of deluxe over regular xnview:
XnView Deluxe...(enhanced version)
XnView Deluxe is available on XnView Deluxe. The version has:
* Album management, category management
* Export wizard, retouche wizard, email wizard
* Show HTML, PDF
* Show SVG, Flash if plugin is installed
* Convert image into PDF
* Project management
* Transitions and audio in slideshow
* Slideshow export in EXE, video, CD, VCD & SVCD
* Better player (mp3, ogg vorbis, ...)
* Show content of ZIP, RAR, CAB & ACE
* Archive create
* Send by email, FTP
* Enhanced web pages with templates
* Advanced search
* Preview in context menu
* ...
A trial version can be downloaded.

Priority of additions of features must remain separated from financial aspects. So no "deals", please.

Can I install XnView in the Russian organisation, that selling electrical apparats?

XnView will be used for browsing (and watch) folder with photos of the products.

Or XnView (without registration) can't be used in the any organisation?

If you are a company, so you must purchase licenses...

I am in the same situation.
Can I pay from my private card but register a license on our organisation?
And what kind of documents I'll receive?
Because, if we'll not have any documents confirming ownership of the licensed copy, then there is no sense in buying a license in our country.

Yes, you can pay with your personal card, you'll receive an invoice and registration code

I just bought a licence for XnView. Is there a way to put the name and key into the xnview.ini instead of the registry?

:) Hello !

• AFAIK, no way, the licence number is always logged in the Registry, never in the INI file.
- I assume it's for security reasons…

- Having several versions here (I keep some old ones), I wrote a *.reg file per version, so the registration is valid for all.
