[@Robert Ippolito Ippolito] remember:
– click the [ Key ] icon in the lower left of the main program window to open up a registration mini-window
– copy-and-paste Name: [ SharewareOnSale ]
– copy-and-paste SharewareOnSale exclusive license Key: [ xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx ] from our SOS hub screen and from the email we should receive shortly after the SOS hub screen.
– click [ Register ], it responds [ Congratulations. You have successfully registered your copy of AbstractCurves. ], click [ OK ].
Then type [ Ctrl ][ N ] to create a new image, select something, anything, and play.
If anything fails, please tell us specifically – did the install exit or lock up, did you select 32-bit or 64-bit, did the instll finsh but you can’t find the program, did you click [ Purchase ] from the [ Demo version reminder ] auto-pop-up, did you get lost trying to buy this using the SOS credentials, was there no main window, are you at something other than the main window, is there no key icon, is there no field for name, where did you copy-and-paste from, did you hand-type, did it not allow you to paste what you had copied ( this happened to me, I exited and tried again, and again, wondering what was wrong with cut-and-paste, the 5th time it worked, but denied pasting the Key the first 4 times – I pressed and held real hard on the mouse button until the paste appeared, weird, other programs accept cut-and-past immediately ), tell us more.
For those of us who have success, we can share what we did, as I share above, but if you did anything different, or got anything different, we need specifics so we can help.
That said, this is not a critical or productive program in terms of getting things done, like managing data, security, or other tasks, but instead this is an entertainment and creatvty program that makes pretty drawings ( or omnous drawings, that’s all in the eye of the beholder ).
So if you dont get this working, it is not the end of the world.
Alteratives: a gazillion, search for combinations of these words, and more:

and the like, I remember DOS programs from IBM Software that did this in the 1980s, so this kind of stuff is out there for everyone to play with, much of it free, some pure math, some pure oscilloscope, some tethered to our sound so it plays with music, some freeze-frame, some dynamic, some tunable, some dancing, endless.
