And you would never know it except it takes out recent activations too. I never figured out what causes it. But I suppose a Windows Update might be it or at least one of them. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2118#post-13116 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 08:54:21 +0000 BuBBy 13116@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Titan did things slightly different.</p> <p>1. GOTD - Activate - get the xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxx type code<br /> 2. Install Titan.<br /> 3. Run Titan and enter the code.<br /> 4. Titan displays a message saying "code accepted - thank you - blah blah blah"<br /> 5. Look at clock - OMG is that the time? I'm off to bed.<br /> 6. Next day - Windows update - you need to reboot your computer.<br /> 7. Reboot.<br /> 8. Run Titan Backup.<br /> 9. Message - "Whoa hang on buddy - gotta validate that code with the Titan Servers"<br /> 10. Message - "Sorry, we have shut down that code. You are outta luck, mate".</p> <p>That's it in a nutshell.</p> <p>Moral - Ignore the message saying "Thanks for the code. It's Legit. You are good to go". Do a reboot and restart, just in case they decide to slip in a second "code check". </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2118#post-13114 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 08:11:59 +0000 pauloparra 13114@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I didn't uninstall the older version before installing the last one and it is still working. </p> <p>I installed the new one on the same directory as the old one and I re-registered it using the new license number provided and the same registration name I used in the first installation.</p> <p>I haven't had any problems. In fact I just did a simple backup test to make sure it was working so I don't know why yours are not working. Did you not re-register it?</p> <p>-Mario </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2118#post-13066 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:33:48 +0000 BillW50 13066@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Mine still works. Although I deleted the older one before I installed the more recent version. I have found throughout the past year with some GAOTD software offerings, this practice seems to work out the best. If I really want to keep the old one, I'll rename the old program folder and then install the more recent version in a new folder. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2118#post-12984 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:44:51 +0000 BuBBy 12984@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>LOL. That is 100% Exactly what happened to me - right down to the Windows Update.</p> <p>(I had only setup the program, to be able to help other people if they had any issues with the install - nobody did so I didn't need to go any further. I only discovered the 2nd activation (with the developer) when I began to investigate removing the program - and the icon in the system tray).</p> <p>I'll see what I can do. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2118#post-12978 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:01:15 +0000 playboy85 12978@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I downloaded Titan Backup a few months ago when it was offered. When I saw it again a couple days ago, I assumed it was an update. I downloaded it ago and installed it. Doing so changed the serial.</p> <p>Today, I rebooted my computer due to a windows update. Upon restarting, Titan Backup attempted to activate the new serial but I received a message stating the new serial was blocked due to "excessive usage".</p> <p>Titan backup no longer works.</p> <p>For anyone else who redownloaded this, be aware the program will stop working when you reboot your system.</p> <p>Now what... </p>
