There are only two things you can purchase from this web site. The first is the program itself, and the second is annual update subscriptions, so you can keep the program up to date. 

Recently, I have dispensed with the different price for outside of Canada. The reason for the two prices was that the low value of the Canadian dollar and the wide fluctuation of the "loonie" meant that you could not know from one week to the next what the porice would be. Those days are over and now the Canadian dollar runs at about par with the American. Therefore, I am dropping the discounted price in US dollars and pegging the price to the Canadian price. Officially support the DCMS in five countries, which are Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. 

I have posted equivalent costs in local currencies and they are correct as of April 1, 2010. If you wish to check the current value of each currency, I recommend visiting www.xe.com  for the up-to-date best exchange rates. It is the one I use when I process the sale.

The table below indicates the prices where you live. Please note that a program purchase includes one year's worth of Update Subscription. As well, there are no extra charges for handling or shipping. These are also included. The price in bold is the total price.

Canada Taxes

In Canada, I must charge Goods and Services Tax (5%) on all sales within provinces which charge only GST on services, and Harmonized Sales Tax (13%) on all sales to provinces where the HST is in effect. As of July 1, 2010, my province of Ontario will become an HST collecting province and I will have to charge 13%  HST on all sales within Canada (or until I move out of Ontario).
