function PsychPaidSupportAndServices(mininag)
%
% If you require paid support regarding Psychtoolbox, or custom feature
% development (or if you want to buy a Psychtoolbox themed coffee mug, bag or shirt)
% go to the following website which provides such services:
%
% https://www.psychtoolbox.net
%
% For paid support on the user forum or GitHub issue tracker, buy a
% "Psychtoolbox support membership" under the "become a member" section:
%
% https://www.psychtoolbox.net/#service
%
% 1. As part of your purchase, you will receive a document - an invoice - with a
%    printed "Order Id" or "Order no.", and a printed "License key".
%
% 2. Next you can run *this* function PsychPaidSupportAndServices in Octave or
%    Matlab. The function will ask you if you need paid support and do have
%    an active license key to prove your community membership. Answer "y" for yes.
%
% 3. Next the function will ask you about your "Order Id" and "License key".
%    Please enter that info that you got from step 1.
%
% 4. The function will print out an "authentication token", a string of letters and
%    numbers. Now you can post your question on the Psychtoolbox user forum at
%    https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group or open a new issue for bugs and feature
%    requests on our GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/Psychtoolbox-3/Psychtoolbox-3/issues
%
%    Please add the "authentication token" to your forum question or GitHub issue.
%    This will prove to us that you deserve paid support for your question or
%    issue. Please note that initial activation of your license key may take 5-10
%    days after date of receipt of payment, so do not buy the paid support last
%    minute, when the "house is already burning", but ahead of time, like you
%    would do with a fire insurance.

% For more detailed background information about Psychtoolbox's need for funding, read on:
%
% Continued development, improvement, maintenance and support of
% Psychtoolbox itself, and also improvement of the various open-source
% software components on which Psychtoolbox and other neuroscience toolkits
% (e.g., PsychoPy) critically depend, including improvements to the Linux
% operating system as the strongest and most high quality foundation for
% demanding stimulation and data collection paradigms, requires a lot of
% highly qualified and highly focused work.
%
% This work is currently (year 2006 - present) mostly carried out by Mario
% Kleiner, who is now employed to do this work by the Medical Innovations
% Incubator GmbH (MII) in Tuebingen, Germany ( https://www.mi-incubator.com ).
% The MII belongs by 100% to the non-profit foundation for medical
% innovations ( http://www.mi-foundation.org ) in Tuebingen.
%
% In order to fund Mario's work and provide him with the resources to do
% this job, the MII offers different types of paid services around
% Psychtoolbox and the use of Linux for neuroscience, among them a
% "Psychtoolbox community membership with paid support".
%
% Your lab can now financially contribute to Psychtoolbox sustainability,
% upkeep and continued improvement, by once a year buying such a community
% membership for a modest fee. This membership entitles you to some
% paid support for questions regarding efficient use of Psychtoolbox,
% questions regarding the resolution of issues you may have with it, fixing
% of bugs you may encounter, and feature requests. MII also offers paid
% feature development and other commercial services.
%
% Please visit the following website, operated by MII, for our offering of
% commercial development services, and for the community membership with
% paid support:
%
%
% https://www.psychtoolbox.net
%
%
% The membership allows you to get your voice heard by the developers
% regarding future feature development, as well as preferential treatment
% on the public Psychtoolbox user forum and GitHub issue tracker. Spare
% income generated by your membership fee, that does not have to be used
% to process paid requests made individually by you, will be used to
% fund general development and upkeep of Psychtoolbox and its ecosystem. In
% other words, it contributes to / acts as an insurance that allows
% Psychtoolbox to be around and in good shape years into the future.
%
% To clarify: Psychtoolbox itself will stay open-source software. Anybody
% able and willing to contribute code and ideas of sufficiently high quality
% is invited to contribute to the open-source code, the documentation on our
% public community website and Wiki
% http://psychtoolbox.org, and to participate and help each other on the
% public community forum https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group.
%
% Support by our developers will be reserved to paying community members.
%
% Thanks for your participation and support!
