License Agreement
Be sure to look at the new "How to" videos on the support page for demonstrations of the features and how to do common tasks with the software. This is a work in progress so check back if you don't see what you want now. Probably some of the most useful videos include the following:
Get latest User Manual:
- Install NM Collector Software on a USB Flash Drive
- Run NM Collector Software from a USB Flash Drive (includes instructions for proper shutdown and removal of the USB Flash drive)
- How to Start Entering Data
Suggestion: Install as many copies as your want - one for each of your collection types. Hide all other collection types for each install so only one collection type is visible with each install.
If you are looking for collecting software for your Android please consider: NM Collector for the Android. I just started a new Guestbook where you can add your own comments directly if you care to add to what is already listed below. Thank you!
A Few References ( many names and links witheld to protect people's privacy )
"I really enjoy the portability of the new version. I have been able to show off my collection to friends on their computers just by using the thumb drive. I think the whole thing is pretty darn close to perfect, and I'm very grateful to you for producing it." (via email)
"I just bought the NM Collector software. I like it very much. I was going through the thought process that if something happens to me, I want my three sons to understand what I have and what it MAY be worth instead of having someone take advantage of them if they choose to dispose of any of them. Taking photos and making detailed descriptions of all my guns is a pain in the butt, but I feel that I would like to have that info in written form somewhere."
"Need to keep an inventory of your guns, ammo etc? This looks like a great program to help you do so. The free version is cool and you can use it indefinitely, but if you want to add the extra features 19.95 for a lifetime subscription is not a bad deal." ( http://www.socamo.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=155 )
"I have taken the downloads for GunSafe 2.8 offline. The program has grown quite old, and there are more modern free and commercial offerings now available. I recommend trying out NM Collector Software." ( http://somanyroads.org/gunsafe/ )
"Found this software to keep track of my collection. I really great and free. Check it out." ( http://milsurpshooter.net/topic/33281/Re-NM-Collector-Software-Free )

"Your software is well written and you deserve the revenue. I am a greedy capitalist pig who believes you should be rewarded for your talents... It's the John Galt in me." (from a customer who purchased two registrations)

Guns Knives Japanese Swords

* Also see how to create your own collection type by following the Home Inventory example.
This software for collectors is now better able to support large collections!
NM Collector Software was never intended for commercial purposes so the initial design did not emphasize performance for large collections. However, there are many individuals out there with very large collections so, in release 2.4.0, the database interface for NM Collector Software has been rewritten to maximize performance for large collections. Small collectors will see a small improvement as well.
Please see benchmark results for an idea of the improvements in performance.

This Collecting Software capitalizes on lessons learned from NM Gun Collector Software
Feedback and experience from many years of success with NM Gun Collector Software was incorporated into this new inventory software. One of the biggest complaints from users of NM Gun Collector Software was that pictures were not stored in the database itself. Instead, the path to each picture was stored in the database while the pictures themselves remained in the file system. This is a very effective approach from a disk management standpoint but required additional care and backups from a user perspective. This new collecting software allows for either approach to storing pictures - you choose which one you prefer.
A very common request from users of NM Gun Collector software was that it support other types of collectibles. That was impossible before but now you can track any and all of your collections in one or multiple copies of this software. Again, the choice is up to you.
Another frequent request was to be able to run NM Gun Collector software on platforms other than Windows. This new inventory program can be run on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
