What has changed?
Tiger Technologies once created well-known software programs like Holiday Lights, DeskFlag, Window Monkey and Menuette.
However, for the last ten years, we've focused on our Web hosting services. We stopped creating new software programs several years ago, and the time has come to stop distributing the old software to new users.
Will you continue to support previous customers?
Yes. Until the end of 2010, we'll continue to provide support to customers who previously paid for any software program. Contact us at support@tigertech.com.
However, we cannot offer support if you have not paid for a program.
Will there be updates to the programs for compatibility with Windows Vista or Mac OS X?
No. Rewriting our software for compatibility with newer operating systems would take substantial time and effort, unfortunately. We're sorry about that.
I recently paid for one of your programs. Can I get a refund?
Yes — if you bought one of our programs on or after June 1, 2007, and you're dissatisfied that it won't be updated in the future, we'll be glad to refund the purchase price. Contact us at support@tigertech.com.
I need to download a program so I can continue using it on Windows XP or Mac OS 9.
You can download a copy below. These programs are provided only in the interest of helping previous customers; they are not fully compatible with Windows Vista or Mac OS X and should not be downloaded by new users.
I need my serial number so I can continue using Holiday Lights.
If you're a paid customer who has misplaced your serial number, you can use the following instructions. Note that you MUST type "Unsupported Free Copy" as the name, exactly as shown, for the serial number to be accepted.
Holiday Lights for Windows XP
- Make sure the Holiday Lights program is running. If it isn't running, you can use the Start menu to launch Holiday Lights, like any other program.
- Click once (not twice) on the bulb icon in the taskbar, next to the clock.
- Choose Enter Serial Number from the popup menu that appears.
- Type the "name" exactly as shown: Unsupported Free Copy
- Type this twelve digit serial number: 576977462156
Holiday Lights for Mac OS 9
- Open the Holiday Lights application.
- Choose Enter Serial Number from the File menu.

What about the Holiday Lights bulb center?
The Holiday Lights add-on bulb center will be available until the end of 2010, although we are not accepting new bulb submissions.
Alternately, you can download all the old bulbs in .zip format:
A final note of thanks
We'd like to thank everyone who downloaded our software programs over the years. The continued growth of our Web hosting business has changed our company into something much larger and very different, but some of us still remember the days when someone could say “Wouldn't it be cool if you could put Christmas tree lights around the edge of your computer screen?” and we'd actually have time to do it. We enjoyed it, and we'll miss it.
