Actually, this is not the same bug! The bug that was just fixed is not asking you to enter the code, but simply says it's "expired".

If you wish, we can try to help, but we'll need more information about it. You should contact us through http://artplussoftware.com/support

Developer, Well it was not the same bug but your update fix it anyway! And it fixes also my problem of slow opening... So thank you for this update! Now I can enjoy plainly your nice software... I just have a question: is this giveaway included futures program updates or do we loose the license if we update?

I copied the EasyNoter folder in: User\Roger\Programs\Art Plus *.* to a USB drive. Opened on a third computer with Internet access and the same issue on that computer. I cant add any NEW FORMS and TYPE NEW TEXT in the Forms lables or and new notes. If I create a NEW FOLDER \ with CREATE NEW FORM the same. I cant add test to labels / notes. Help.

roger sweeney
This software needs work.....
1. Auto re-position on screen. When going from closed to open. Going from one computer to another with different resolution.
2. Better backup GUI. When doing a backup you must pick the FOLDER ONLY. When doing a RESTORE it goes into the folder, confusing.
3. Better install. Some files don't work on X64 Win7 like they should. On first run work fine but after close and reopen you cant type any new text or make new note. (Registered version)
4. Making a REMINDER need to be more clear, confusing.

roger sweeney

It's possible that you installed the program with administrator privileges to a folder where EasyNoter is not allowed to write data. However, I can't be sure based on information your provided here.

If you wish, we can try to help, but we'll need more information about it. You should contact us through http://artplussoftware.com/support

Describe step by step what you're doing and list all the results you get, also step by step. We'll see what we can do.

Developer
I just did the "update" to your 4.5.8 version. I may have found my issue. I was un-checking the box in options , special tab "auto new entry allowed" because I have new items each time I open the program at startup with no content. If I UN Check the box and EXIT the program, exit completely and reopen, I cant type ant text in notes or new fields (labels). After the 4.5.8 update I checked it and I can type again BUT the ghost entries are back...

MaryLee

You could click "ABOUT" and then "Enter License Code", but GOTD code will not work any more... Sorry.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!

We discovered a bug in GOTD version of EasyNoter that forces the license validation each time the program runs. If EasyNoter can't access the Internet at that moment, you will get a message 'License expired'. Temporary solution is to allow EasyNoter to connect to the Internet. We plan to release a fix within 24 hours that will be delivered as EasyNoter update. We'll publish an update here whe. Sorry for your trouble and thanks for understanding.

Hi, the license is valid permanently, but the program must be installed and activated (automatically online) during the GOTD campaign.

Ms_Oyl
Disabling your AV is a good idea when installing apps using the GOTD setup.exe wrapper. I've been using this method after several failed installs in a row..........GOOD IDEA!!

Lindsay

Not sure what you mean... There is no Polish, nor any other language but English both in our program and on our site!

wyndham wales

Actually, we discovered a bug and will release a fix that will be offered as a regular update.Due to that bug GOTD EasyNoter checks the license validity each day which is not how it's supposed to work! If it can't connect to the Internet, it shows "License Expired" message.

Once patched, it will no longer require Internet connectivity and will work offline and behind firewall.

Bryan Mohr
Bryan, although I haven't run this install yet, I have seen GAOTD installs do the exact same thing, and I was able to install the program by temporarily disabling my antivirus (not something I normally recommend, by the way) during the install.
For the security conscious (like myself) you can then run a FULL system scan immediately after the install to relieve any concerns about what happened during the install.

Bryan Mohr

EasyNoter works on Windows 10 Pro 64, but I guess there'sa problem with custom installer created by GOATD. Since it's a one day launch, we don't have enough information to help. Sorry.

You can install the program from our site. Contact us through the form there and mention this incident. We'll help you install the program with our default installer.

Tried to do the install from the developer site and got the same result on both machines (minus the "Activated" message, of course). So it must not be the GAOTD installer. Too bad there's no install log to check out.

To the Developer
I did what you said, and just received an answer from Scott Vanake, ArtPlus Software Support that literally said: "Sorry to hear about your problem. You'll have to contact GOTD for the code as they distribute a special version of the program that can work only with the code they'll give you.
Program is distributed wrapped within GOTD installer and we can't offer any assistance with that. Sorry." In an hour this will be gone, and a lot of followers, like me, could not install it. :( GOTD should do something about to help us, as obviously is an issue with the wrapper.

M. Kenia AHERN
Yes that was the response I received as well. It is interesting considering the previous such giveaway that I had a problem with the developer worked with me to get it installed. Not a "sorry not our problem" response. Although in their defense the program is available free and one can get a new license code every few months. A bit of a pain but it is doable. I guess that is why they are not interested in helping further.

M. Kenia AHERN

Unfortunately, it looks like this answer triggered other users, not just you, to contact us copying the suggestion. Scott had no instructions about how to handle this sudden spike, and had no way of telling which one, or how many of those are valid claims that we promised to solve this way.

Anyway, we'll handle all those requests in the coming day or two. You will all be able to install the program even though the GOTD campaign is over. Please realize that our primary responsibility is towards paying customers, so please be patient. Thanks.

DB

Hi,

Please check the answer I gave to M. Kenia AHERN. If you already contacted us, you can expect a solution within a day or two. Thanks for understanding.

Developer
I did, and perfectly understandable. And as I said in my post, considering the product design registration is a lot different than the previous one that had issues (it is free by default with ads and renewable 3 month license codes to remove them), it made sense that the amount of support would be limited. That said I thank you for offering to fix this situation and of course paying customers will get priority. I would expect nothing less. Take your time, I am not in any hurry.

LuckyStiff63 WOW! Talk about Paranoid; you make it sound like there is someone just waiting for you to disable your security software so they can dump malware on your computer.

Michelina
I found the skinning option right after making this comment. Just absolutely awesome!

Michelina

This looks like developer promo, but I know it isn't (I work at ArtPlus) :)

I know it's in a good faith but you should probably tone it down a bit as people will think it's a fake review. Instead of helping you'll end up hurting program reputation.

But thanks anyway for the nice words :)

From the Developer
Woops, sorry about being so enthusiastic lol No harm intended. :) Never seen this kind of comment before, normally people are commenting negatively about nasty reviews, broken language and problem code around here and I thought a positive review was in order as for once something worked as expected. I'll tone it down next time.

unkabob

Sorry to hear about your problem.

While EasyNoter does occasionally try to check for updates online, it does not require an Internet connection, so this probably depends on a way how GOTD handles registration. You should ask for support directly from GOTD.

unkabob
Could be PC security. One way to find out, if you are willing to risk it, is close down all internet explorers and other programs, turn off any firewall or anti virus then see if it works. Turn it all back on again imediately.
If it did work then somewhere in your PC protection there will be a way to tell it to allow a connection to all GOTD sites. Just what I would try.

unkabob
Check my replies and you will find the fix.

Val
I can't find any other replies by Val. I'm interested to see the one she refers to. How do I find it?

David Murphy
If you use the "Find" (Ctl F) in your browser and type in Val you will find all my postings.
I actually made the original comment and then when I found this fix and it worked I replied to it. Here is the answer again:

"I goggled the problem and found a fix in a Evernote program discussion.

https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/54945-cant-connect-to-server-please-try-again-later-i-have-a-great-internet-connection/?page=2

Instructions:

Open Internet Explorer (even if you don't use it) and go toTools - Internet options -> Advanced (Tab) -> and Check "Use TLS 1.2" (or your highest version). It is not necessary to uncheck "Use SSL 3.0.

I only have TLS 1 and I unchecked the SSL 3.0. in the light of Poodle bug.

Maybe someone more techy than me can explain it but all I know is it worked.

unkabob

Actually, we discovered a bug and EasyNoter will ask for the Internet connection, and without it, it will pop the message saying that "License Expired"!

That's a bug! We'll release a fix within a day or two and you'll get it within regular updates. After that fix is applied, EasyNoter will work as it should. It will no longer require Internet to function!

This bug affects only GOTD version of EasyNoter. If you installed one from our site, you are not affected.

Developer
Thanks for your reply. I found the change I made in Internet Explorer did work for downloading and installing EasyNoter. I've now been exploring the program and am pleased with it. Simple in it's design looking just like a little address book we might carry and yet it has spaces for many different notes and even reminders. The most interesting reminder I found so far is when it will open a program at a time I set. Not a huge need for that but I can see it would be handy when I want to limit my time when I get lost on Facebook or Pinterest.
My only 2 negative comments are that the clock is hard to read and I haven't found a way to have it open in a different position. Neither one is a big deal because there is another clock on my computer and the program is easy to move and size.

Developer
It is normal practice with most GOTD versions that they cannot be updated after the free distibution period has ended and if you try you may loose the free license. Are you saying that it is OK to update EasyNoter for free and if so how long for? Thanks

David Murphy

Correct :)

You can do so forever if you don't mind coming to our site once in three months to see what else we eventually have to offer :)

Or, you can skip the license and simply keep seeing our offers via ads in the program. Licensed program doesn't show the ads, so it's up to you to choose the option.

Nathan

Don't blame EasyNoter for that, but GOTD installer!

EasyNoter doesn't require an internet connection!

See my reply to "unkabob" above.

Kestrel

You're welcome :)

BTW, you can import various formats, like CSV, plain TXT etc. You can probably export from Outlook to one of those formats.

I know it's not a direct import as it should be, but it should work, only in two steps instead of one.

You can find more info here: http://www.artplus.hr/adapps/eng/easynoter_help.htm

Hope that helps!

You can enlarge it simply by clicking "full screen" on the upper middle left page.

The notebook can be enlarged by pointing to any edge and pulling outwards to the size you want.

True in Catalan and Portuguese, but not in English.

Actually, it's the same program. It just displays ads about our other programs. As long as you don't mind that, you can continue using it without registration. Alternatively, you can opt to visit our website to get a new free code every three months. This too will remove the ads. Either way, the program will not expire. You'll only start seeing ads when the free license expires. And finally, there is a paid option that helps future development, and removes ads and the need for license renewal.

Keya23
We are not here to test their literary skills but their software.
It would appear they are from Croatia, English is not their first language.
Instead of blaming them, blame the idiot who destroyed a language with illogical spelling, Dr Samuel Johnson.

Keya23 O, eye dunno, betta a typo en da descripshun dan a typo en da kode witch wuld mayke it crush alla tyme, ryte?

Translation for those who wish to live in a perfect world.

Oh, I don't know, better a typo in the description than a typo in the code which would make it crash all the time, right?

Kiwi1960
Thanks...made me laugh.

Keya23
Everyone will likely have an opinion on this issue, but I tend to agree with you : The main reason being that a spelling error in the main headline indicates lack of precision, and that lack of precision could be extended to the precision of their software coding.

Besides :

There are dictionaries, especially if one is a second language speaker -- all the more reason to be precise and use it !

Last but not least, software programmers / website designers that have never heard of spell-checkers ?

Salvia LOL. So we can blame Samuel Johnson for the following spelling inconsistencies: floored, ford, horde, board, toward, chord, gourd, gored, poured, sword? These words rhyme with each other but all seem to follow their own rules when it comes to spelling them. It's no wonder English is so difficult for people to learn as a second language. As for ArtPlus Easy Noter I have been looking for an easy way to keep the many files I have on my computer and will be giving this one a good try over the next few weeks. Thanks to Giveawayoftheday and to the devlopers for making this available.

Keya23

Hi Keya,

Sorry to disappoint you.

Thanks to all of you who stood in our defense! :)

Anyway, it's a typo :(

seagrape
English is a hodgepodge of languages and Johnson apparently kept the original spelling from each of these languages.
If he had the logic of a programmer he would not have acted in such a stupid manner.
A language that is easy to speak when compared to Latin-based languages and nightmare to write and read.
For instance you can spell fish ghoti using pronunciations in English.
Think I'll just check on Steinbeck's calculus abilities before I read any of his books. :-)
