How to buy a license for STILL

If you wish to continue using a MIRAFX product you need to buy a license.

How you buy a license for a MIRAFX product

1. Download a trial version of the product from the Download STILL page and give it a try (note that the trial version will add a watermark on the generated images).

2. When you're ready to buy a license, go to the Buy page.

3. Choose the license type that suits your needs an click on the corresponding Buy Now button. A single user license allows you to activate the product on two computers.

4. Enter your billing information and click the [Pay] button. Make sure your email address is correct before submitting this form. This address will be used to send you the product serial number.

5. You will be transferred to PayPal for the final checkout where you will be able to choose from paying with a credit card or use your PayPal account.

6. Once you have paid you will receive both a receipt and a serial number by email.

I already have a serial number

If you have already received a serial number follow the instructions in the "How to activate your copy of STILL" section.

What if I don't have a PayPal account

You don't need a paypal account, Paypal will let you do a creditcard checkout.

Buying license with a creditcard

All our payment processing goes via the Paypal website. This allows you to either use your Paypal account (with several options: credit and debit card, bank transfer etc) or use your creditcard directly.

If you do not have a Paypal account you can still buy a license using your credit card by choosing the option to pay as a guest using a creditcard.

I didn't receive the email with my serial number, what do I do?

If you did not receive your MIRAFX serial number after purchase please contact us and send us a copy of your receipt.
