Cover DVD February 2008

<p>Have just bought the latest issue of the mag primarily because of the inclusion of the Paragon Partition software on the disc. I then insert the DVD and lo and behold - no copy of said software on disc! ( even though the name of the program is printed all over it ). All in all, a waste of £5.99 and a complete con! Cheers guys!</p>

<p>Put the disk in your drive, right click it and select Explore, double click the Full Software folder and lo and behold, there is the Paragon Partition Manager folder :wink:</p>

<p>I've just entered the product key and serial number on the instal thing for the partition manager but I can't click on 'next.'<br />
Has anyone had a similar problem/know a solution?</p>

<p>I've had the same problem. I havn't found a fix published yet.</p>

Paragon partition Manager 8

<p>Same for me too. Registered & received the product key plus serial number, but when these are entered during the installation process, the 'NEXT' button never becomes highlighted. Anyone at PCA got any ideas? I would REALLY like to use this software!</p>

<p>I have just tested it and it works. I am running Vista and don't really want to do an install so I cut it off part way.</p>

<p>One tip <span style="text-decoration:underline">copy and paste</span> the serial number and code from the email into the boxes. I assure you it will work.</p>

<p>Two tip if you are trying to install it to Vista - right click the exe, select Properties, Compatibility tab and choose to run it as XP Sp2.</p>

<p>I've had the same problem, on an XP Pro set up.<br />
I contacted e-mail support, got an upgrade to 8.5se, but still got the same problem.</p>

<p>Tried copy n paste and typing it in. No difference.</p>

<p>I have just installed it on a machine running XP Pro. It would not accept the codes when typed in, but accepted them when copied and pasted, even though I was very careful to type the codes exactly. </p>

<p>You are copying the full username eg - <span style="font-weight:bold">pm8x_free_per_6545</span>?</p>

<p>There is certainly something wrong when it will not accept it when typed. :(</p>

<p>I am running XP Home. Tried copy/paste and typing in the codes but no joy. I then tried to register again, (using a different email address) and got some new codes which worked fine. The obvious difference between the working & non-working codes was that the working code had one more digit at the end of the product code, i.e. pm8x_free_per_1234 instead of pm8x_free_per_123. Does this help anyone else?</p>

<p>Good point, my code also has 4 numbers, maybe the server is having problems and puts out a bad code every now and then.</p>
