Costs

Free trial – for the month of installation, and the month after, you get everything without needing to pay for it. After that time you still get the calendar and the About Today pages, for ever. So if that’s all you want, you don’t need to pay. Here is a page about free trials.

Registration code – to make the program work without any time limits at all, you need a Universalis registration code. If you already have a registration code, use it again: you don’t need to buy a new one. Otherwise the price of a registration code is:

£19.99 (about $25.00 or €23.00) if you have never bought before.
£9.99 (about $12.60 or €11.50) if you have previously bought a Universalis app for iOS or Android.
