Understand its advantages and learn how to use it.
Scroll down to learn how and why to use this modern distribution channel.
How to use it?
Just click on the black button above. Once Microsoft Store application appears click the Get button there. That’s it 🙂
If you previously installed Better Clipboard via its classic installer download please uninstall that old version first. That would be one-time action only and no worries, your data stay untouched and picked up by the Store version.
7 + 1 Reasons to get Better Clipboard via Microsoft Store
1) Future-Proof
The support of classic installer download will eventually be discontinued. We strongly recommend you switch to Microsoft Store channel already today as it will have to happen sooner or later anyway. If you do it right from the beginning number of confusions can be avoided in the future.
2) Installation Convenience
It is just 2 or 3 clicks and few seconds later Better Clipboard is running on your computer 🙂
3) Automatic Updates
Simple delivery of new features and bug fixes. Yes, we have our own auto-update mechanism, but the one delivered by Microsoft Store is faster and simpler.
4) Improved Security
There is not any 3rd party involved. Just us developing new Better Clipboard features and Microsoft as a well-trusted authority. No chance anyone can temper the delivered bits.
5) Data Neutrality
Regardless which distribution channel you select your data stay preserved.
6) Bullet-Proof Licensing
If you decide to purchase or subscribe via Microsoft Store you have 100% guarantee it will work also in 10 or 20 years from now. With our custom 3rd party Licensing Server this level drops to 99% only.
7) Faster delivery of new Better Clipboard features
There is unfortunately never-ending maintenance required from our side to support the 3rd party Licensing Server bound to our classic downloads. Its producer is not very reliable and extremely unresponsive. Switch to Microsoft Store allows us to stay concentrated on the core functionality of our application which you will surely benefit from.
8) If you decide for one of the premium plans… These are cheaper on Microsoft Store 😉
Any reasons to stick to the classic installer downloads?
Basically not. The only ones we are able to come up with:
1) Corporate Environment
Your company might have decided to disable Microsoft Store but still allow to install via the classic installers.
2) Your Conservatism
You have been using the classic downloads for the last 20+ years so why to change it!? We believe you should give it a chance this time but we respect your decision and still offer the classic installer downloads.
Understand payment gateways differences
There is a tightly coupled connection between the distribution channel the Better Clipboard for Windows application is delivered to your computer and its payment gateway you eventually want to use to unlock its permanent full functionality.
| Better Clipboard for Windows Distribution Channel | Payment Gateway |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Store | Microsoft Store integrated gateway (via your Microsoft account) |
| Classic Windows installer (downloaded from this website or elsewhere on Internet) | PayPal and its credit card payments support |
Unfortunately the payment gateways are not interchangeable. If you decide for the given distribution channel and purchase Better Clipboard via its corresponding payment gateway you cannot transfer the acquired license if you change your mind later on and switch to the other distribution channel. This licensing incompatibility is one more reason why we encourage our users to switch to Microsoft Store distribution and to stick to this decision.
