Kilgray decided to support translators new to technology and release MemoQ v2.0 as postcardware.

In an effort to help translators adopt translation technology and enable them to cope with the translation challenges of today's market environment, Kilgray decided to release MemoQ 2.0 as postcardware. Postcardware means that you have to send a postcard in order to get a never-expiring, fully functional network license.

The postcardware version is MemoQ 2.0, the first acclaimed MemoQ version released on New Year's Eve 2006.

• MemoQ 2.0 is able to work with several translation memories and term bases, has a fully featured translation grid and a very efficient aligner.
• Its functionality is rather standard, comparable to that of other popular translation tools. MemoQ 2.0 is able to cover all needs of a newcomer to technology, and using MemoQ 2.0 you can work together with MemoQ servers.

Please note that postcardware does not mean free software. You need to make some effort to get it, but the effort is symbolic: you need to send a postcard to Kilgray's postal address.

So this is what you need to do:

1. Download MemoQ 2.0 from Kilgray's website.
2. Install and activate it to get a serial number.
3. Write a postcard and include your name, your serial number (you can get it in the Help / Activation dialog), your email address and your postal address. Every piece of information must be legible.
4. Send the postcard to Kilgray, H-1255 Budapest, Postafiók 7., Hungary.
5. Wait for an email from Kilgray granting you the right to use MemoQ 2.0 for an unlimited time free of charge.
6. Preferably also send an email to Kilgray's info address, especially if you don't get an answer within a month. The postal service is not reliable in all countries. Please include also your phone number, because webmails like Gmail, Yahoo!, Hotmail etc. sometimes filter our responses out.
7. Happily use MemoQ 2.0 and upgrade to a subsequent edition if you want.

We also created the world's cheapest upgrade path. If you want more than what MemoQ 2.0 offers and you see that MemoQ is a good investment you can decide to pay EUR 199 for a single version jump, i.e. jumping from 2.0 to 2.1, from 2.1 to 2.2, etc. or you can buy the full version for EUR 620/USD 910 and get all upgrades for free - for one year. If you want a version jump license, please send us an email.

Please note that this offer is only valid for freelance translators.
