CLIP_Clip_Conv(ja)←Japanese Version

OverView

　CLIP_Clip_Conv is a clipboard-based tool priced at 154 yen that automatically sends file text to conversational generative AI.

　Since I don’t have macOS, it is not supported at the moment. The release is scheduled for around April 7. If this app and future apps together reach around 1,000 sales, I may consider adding macOS support—but that’s unlikely, so it probably won’t happen anytime soon.

License Activation Steps

　This product is operated by launching CLIP_Clip_Conv.exe and using the License Activation button found in the Settings menu of the task tray icon for the task tray application that appears.

　The system allows license activation for anyone who knows the order number issued by BOOTH. In the future, possession of the issued license ID will serve as proof of purchase.

　Since order numbers are sequentially issued by BOOTH, they are difficult for third parties to predict. However, if left unused for several months, there is a possibility that the number could be taken over. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to complete license activation promptly after purchase.

　If your order number is compromised, please send a message via BOOTH. By providing information from the purchase confirmation email, you can verify that you are the legitimate purchaser, and we will respond to your license issuance request.

　We will ensure that the purchaser’s license remains valid, and any compromised numbers obtained by malicious third parties will be banned (invalidated and removed) once identified.

　In other words, when using the product for the first time, license activation using the BOOTH order number is required.

　The steps are shown below.

● First, launch CLIP_Clip_Conv.exe.

● After launching, right-click the icon in the task tray and click the “Settings” button from the menu that appears.

Authorization Start

● The Settings dialog will appear, so click the “License Activation” button.

Authorization Start2

● A license activation dialog like the one below will appear.

License Activation Dialog

● Enter the order number from the purchase confirmation email sent by BOOTH into the Order Number field, then click the “Regist” button.

Registration with Order Number

● When license activation is successfully completed, the issued license number will be displayed in the License ID field below. At this time, a file named license.dat will also be saved on your PC.

Authentication Result

License activation is now complete. On the first device, a license is issued based on the matching order number, and the program becomes usable. Close the license activation dialog using the × button to start using the application.

After the first registration (Regist), the ReAuthorize button becomes available and may be tempting to press. On the same PC, pressing it will simply generate a new license.dat file, so it will not cause any problems, but it is unnecessary.

Also, after the first Regist is completed, you can no longer register using the order number. It will result in an error. This means that even if the application obtained from BOOTH is somehow passed to a third party, and they also obtain the order number, nothing will happen. This is a mechanism designed to protect the rights of the purchaser. Only the purchaser can use the software. However, it is not possible to completely eliminate the possibility of modified versions of the program being distributed through advanced analysis that exceeds what would be expected for a product priced at 154 yen.

For the second and subsequent devices, enter the License ID and press ReAuthorize. If the code matches, the program will become usable. Close the license activation dialog with the × button to begin using the application.

Please note that if you repeatedly attempt authentication using non-existent order numbers or license numbers, license activation will be disabled for 24 hours.

■ License Specifications

Initial activation using BOOTH order number Simultaneous use: up to 3 devices Maximum registered devices: 15

You can use the software on up to three devices simultaneously, including different PCs, but you can register up to 15 devices in total. Registration beyond 15 devices cannot be performed without prior contact. It is unclear how many days it will take to respond after contacting, but if you send your order number and License ID via a BOOTH message, we will reset the number of registered devices.

However, we will not accept reset requests for license IDs that show abnormal usage patterns, such as using 15 devices within less than three months or having widely distributed IP addresses across different regions of Japan. If such behavior is detected, the corresponding license ID will be banned. The number of registered devices used is displayed next to the License ID. If you want to synchronize the count across all PCs, you can retrieve it by performing ReAuthorize.

Since the number of simultaneously usable devices is limited to three, when a fourth device is activated, the oldest authenticated device will be deactivated. To avoid being deactivated, perform ReAuthorize on the devices you want to keep active before activating a new device.

This software works offline, so even if a device is deactivated, it can still be used as long as the license.dat file remains. However, if license.dat is deleted, re-authentication is required, and re-authentication will increase the number of registered devices used.

You can use the software on up to three devices at the same time. To avoid deactivation, it is recommended to perform ReAuthorize on the two devices you want to keep active before activating a new device.

Since the same License ID is used on new devices, the process is called ReAuthorize. Please do not be confused by the absence of an Authorize button.

Sharing or leaking your issued License ID to others will only consume the available device registrations and result in loss of your rights, so please manage it carefully. When authentication or re-authentication succeeds on a PC, the License ID information is used to enable the program within the DLL during re-authentication on a new PC.

If it becomes difficult to continue operating the license system, the software may be released as freeware in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

5.You can specify the address used for address checking.

6.Set the sending interval when multiple transmissions are required.

　Even if you are actively monitoring, around 10 seconds is recommended to observe responses.

　With experience, you might reduce it to about 5 seconds.

　If you want to leave it unattended, around 1 minute is recommended.

　Different AI systems require different wait times, so adjust based on their behavior.
