MemberShould I replace Insofta's backup-software? GotD mentions improved engine over Insofta. I've gotten used to Insofta and it works fine. Hm.
Edit: they look kind of similar, is it the same vendor and same (but newer/improved) program under a different name? Think I'll download it and try it out.

No, different vendor, but same core engine, DoubleSafety claims that they have 20% better backup performance with the new version of the engine. Check this out:)

Why don't I get an e-mail from SoubleSafety with a registration code.
The programme tells me it is an evaluation version and that the evaluation period is over in 30 days.
I thought it was free and fully functional ("as is") with no time limitations?
Am I supposed to get a registration code?Posted 17 years ago # -
Erik, launch the activate.exe file to make your copy registered, you do not need any e-mail from them.

MemberTried to launch the Activation.exe but keep getting told that it failed to connect to the http://www.givawayoftheday.com site.
Just want to know if the site is working before I start looking at my firewall settings please.

MemberHave tried both sites and still unable to connect to giveawayoftheday.com web site and unable to find any mention of the site being blocked by firewall.
In the readme file it says to activate before installing yet some on here are saying to activate after install! who is correct.

Memberjb,
I first ran activate and closed the window that says activation was successful.
Then I ran setup and, after asking me my preferences on where I wanted it, the program installed itself and a windows popped up that said that the installation was successful and a check box that said, run DoubleSafety now.
I clicked ok, the program started and when I checked the help>about pop up it said that the program was registered to GOTD and that means you have a full version that will not expire.

MemberOK pauloparra,
Eventualy got the program to activate, nothing to do with my firewall or Proxy.
I disconnected my Broadband and re-connected using a dialup account and the program activated stright away.
So what do I have to tell my ISP to change to let me use Broadband inplace of dialup I don't want to be having to do this every time.
Also when the program is registered what happens when I re-install windows XP and have to re-install the backup program? will it still be a full version when I install again??
Regards

Memberjb,
Obviously you have no problem connecting to the web site using broadband. I don't know what is different about the activation access to the internet from what the browser does, maybe the GOTD team can give you a hint? I know very little about firewalls, proxys, and network stuff.
Has this happened to you before or this is the first time you try to activate a GOTD program?
I use cable broadband and I never had any problems with the activation process. To make matters worse I am running off a wireless router which has its own firewall. On top of that the router connection is encrypted for security.
Sorry I can't be of much help.

MemberThat was my problem. It was much more complicated than it should have been too. My driver was corrupt and Windows wouldn't let me update, but with the help of other friendly www users, we have the problem fixed. And YES, the program works just fine now. Thank you!

MemberI am having trouble with the verification process. It says that it cannot open file "E:\backup.zip" The parameter is incorrect. Anybody seen this?
The backup was fine and readable and it tested no problems. I even run isobuster on it and found no problems with the file or the surface of the cd-rw disc.
