Getting Started

System Requirements

Clockwork requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run.

Installing Clockwork

To install Clockwork, simply copy the application to your /Applications folder. If you want Clockwork to wake your computer from sleep you will need to enter your administrator password and check “Alarms wake computer from sleep” in Clockwork’s preferences.

Enter License

When you purchase Clockwork you will receive an email with a license file attached. If you lose your license you can get it resent to you by entering your email address on this page.

To install this license double-click it or drag and drop it onto Clockwork’s icon. Clockwork will then display a dialogue letting you know that the license is installed. Once your software is licensed you will see your name in Clockwork’s About box.

Upgrading from Hog Bay Timer

We are moving to a donation based upgrade system. Upgrades are free but I ask that you donate if you find the new features useful. This makes things easier and simpler for everyone.

Unfortunately this time around the upgrade process for existing Hog Bay Timer users going to be a bit of a pain :(. The problem is that the new license key system requires that you are in our new order system, but I don’t want to charge you for this update. To get around this and get your new license for free please follow these instructions:

  1. Add Clockwork to your shopping cart.

  2. Next checkout your shopping cart. You will be asked to enter a billing address. Even though you won’t be charged for this order (follow instructions below) we need the billing address so that we can generate a unique license key.

  3. After entering your billing address you will be sent to the “Order Summary” page. Choose the “Continue to payment details button”, that will send you to Pay-Pal.

  4. At this point our order system has enough information to issue a new license. Important You have only completed the process when your browser goes to the www.paypal.com site, if you stop before that the transaction isn’t recorded and we don’t have enough information to generate a license key. You shouldn’t complete the payment with Pay-Pal since I don’t want to charge you for this upgrade. Instead please send me an email with your Hog Bay Timer license key and I’ll manually authorize your order (as if you had paid) so that your new license will be sent out.

I’m sorry that this upgrade process had to be such a pain, and I hope you like all the new features in Clockwork.
