Financial Support
Why
Rocrail runs entirely on volunteer labor. However, Rocrail also needs contributions of money. Your continued support is vital for keeping Rocrail available.
| Financial support is voluntary and not necessary for using 100% of the Rocrail functionality. |
Bank account
| "Rocrail Support" | |
|---|---|
| Beneficiary | Rocrail |
| Bank | Sparkasse Vorderpfalz (DE) |
| IBAN | DE95 5455 0010 0193 3543 13 |
| BIC | LUHSDE6AXXX |
| Message | "Rocrail Support"1) |
An email content like: "Hi, i donated one total of 15€. Do you possible to send me a key? Thanks" will not be possible to process.
If your banking software wants to know the country, which is already in the IBAN and BIC (DE), just select "Duitsland / Germany / Allemagne / Germania".
"When you provide the full IBAN and a valid BIC you can reduce charges significantly, as using both of these limits the need for the bank to process the payment. Less bank involvement also means funds will be credited to beneficiary accounts more quickly."

Support Key
After you made a money transfer of at least €122) you can request a one year key by sending an email to "supportkey at rocrail.net".
NOTE: Replace 'at' with an '@' character, and remove white space.
Do not forget to mention in your email the date and under which name the money transfer took place.
The support key is not automatically generated so processing the request could take several days!
| This key will suppress the "Support request" dialog at startup. |
If you want a key for more than one year you must donate a multiple of €12 and write it as comment to the money transfer. Maximal 3 years.
 Some providers and/or Email programs classify Emails coming from domain rocrail.net as Spam; Check your Spam folder and filters. There is no way to deliver the key if the Email server reject it as Spam; You will be not informed. |
Goodies
For supporters of the project having a valid key installed.
Note: Goodies are not necessary for controlling a Model Railroad with Rocrail, and are only 'Nice to have'.
Mobile Clients

Outlook
If you are using Outlook for your emails you should ask for a zipped key because Outlook mangles the ASCII key under certain conditions!
