We have released Auto-Illustrator 1.2! This free upgrade brings a host of new features and improvements that makes the software more stable to run, more fun to use, and quicker to use effectively.

Users looking to obtain one of the rare Auto-Illustrator 1.1 boxed sets can purchase
them online via KAHVE-SOCIETY. Signwave
sold all their limited stocks earlier this year, so these boxes represent the very last
ones available to the public.

We are now offering site license packs of 5 and 10 licenses. Both these packs offer
ease of ordering with substantial financial discounts. For example, if you order a
10 license pack, it'll only cost you the same as buying 7 single user licenses. That's
three free licenses! Ideal for institutions and companies needing to run Auto-Illustrator
on a range of computers.

Our Beta Amnesty period ended 20th September 2002. If you're still using a beta version, please

Our Beta Amnesty period is running up until 20th September 2002.
If you have a beta serial number for Auto-Illustrator < v1.0, you can purchase a v1.x serial number

Now is the chance to get that license!

Signwave releases Auto-Illustrator 1.1, four months after 1.0 was released. This version improves stability and functionality on
