Fractal Domains is shareware. A large subset of the features are unrestricted, but some advanced operations require registration, and although all images can be generated, some of them can be saved only with a registered copy.
Even unregistered, Fractal Domains is a very capable program. Over two thirds of the images featured in the main wing of the Fractal Domains gallery can be generated and saved with an unregistered Fractal Domains.
Fractal Domains may be used on a trial basis for an unlimited period. Fractal Domains has no expiration date.
Mac OS 9 Support
Note, since Fractal Domains 2.0 is now a Universal application, it can no longer be distributed in a form compatible with Mac OS 9. The supported operating systems are OS X 10.2.8 up to the current version of OS X 10.4.
For the convenience of the remaining Mac OS 9 users, Fractal Domains 2.0b5 remains available for download. As of this date, the available features are identical between 2.0b5 and 2.0; the only things missing from 2.0b5 are the multiple processor support and native Intel support (although it will run on Intel Macs under Rosetta). Any future bug fixes for 2.0 will not be reflected in 2.0b5; only users of Mac OS 9 should download 2.0b5, all other users should download the latest version using the link at the top of this page.
Purchasers of Fractal Domains who wish to use 2.0b5 under OS 9 should contact support@fractaldomains.com for a valid registration number. The registration number format changed with 2.0 and numbers with the new format will not work with 2.0b5.
Download Fractal Domains 2.0b5 (Disk image) [2.6MB, fractal-domains-20b5.dmg]Restrictions on unregistered copies of Fractal Domains.
In unregistered copies of Fractal Domains, fractals may be generated with any option selected, but images may be printed and parameter files and image (PICT or PNG) files may be saved only for Mandelbrot fractals (or Julia sets generated from the Mandelbrot set) using the standard escape time dwell values, and only for fractals with no orbit trap or the "stalks" (cross-shaped orbit trap) selected. In addition, although the image rendering options (anti-aliasing and spooling to disk) may be used, the rendered image may not be saved as a PICT or PNG file or printed. However, images spooled to disk by an unregistered Fractal Domains will be accessible to be saved or printed if and when you register Fractal Domains.
