LEONARD JACKSON, when you download the software, enter your email address from the landing page to get the license code. After registering, you'll be able to use the full version.

Cannot get the Licensed Key.

.
[ Harry ], yes, but Tenorshare has always been sloppy, every company has different avenues of marketing, it IS v1.5.0 from BOTH sources, GiveAwayOfTheDay and AdorShare, and when it works, it works, so give it a try and let us know how it stinks when it's working for you.
.

.
It worked in SAFE MODE, so I presume there's a hardware / software driver that gets stuck with this software on some computers causing the software to never show a window on screen.

There are other converters, so I'm not troubleshooting to find the glitch.
.

.
[ Mike ], get specific -- you copied the email AND code from the AdoreShare email?
.

.
[ Phoe ], yes, it seems to take longer to convert than to watch the video directly -- NOT a prime choice for batch-en-smallening ( ? ) any of my 20,000+ video collection that are 1080i/p or larger down to 720i/p ( because I prefer smaller files and more disk more for more movies rather than identifying facial hair and pores ).

Heck, even 480i/p presents just fine on our 55" screen.
.

When you enter your email address, you'll get the license key from email.

[ joey ],

That's a browser-specific failure, probably Google Chrome.

Try different browsers, Microsoft IE Internet Explorer worked for me.

Try Firefox. Opera, Maxthon, Comodo, Safari ...
.

Peter Blaise, Maxthon and Maxthon Portable is what I was using - and I refuse to install other Browsers..

Thanks though - it may have helped others..

.
[ joey ],

Microsoft IE Internet Explorer is integrated into Windows.

Did you know that Maxton is an ad hoc design that is based on and extending Microsoft IE Internet Explorer?

Maxthon has compatibility modes, try them all.

And Maxthon has older versions, try them all.

I also "browse" using Adobe Acrobat Writer's [ Get URL ] feature.

Why do you prefer exclusively to use Maxthon, a browser that fails to functionally interpret some web pages ( all browsers fail somewhere ), and a browser phones home to Beijing, China, reporting your browsing behavior?

No browser requires "installation", as all can be run from thumb drives or CDs or stand-alone subdirectories with no calls to your computer's registry or file system -- what's your objection?

Thanks.
.

Mark, what did you do for the verification code before you were able to download?

.
[ Mike ], the download from GiveAwayOfTheDay installs immediately, then awaits as a trial version until the specific email and registration code arrive from AdoreShare:

.

Mike,
The Verification Code i got showed 3 + 5 = ?
i just put in 8 as the answer. just the single number 8 nothing else, and it worked.
i was worried as i have had this Maths type of Verification Before and had nothing but trouble, even doing this the same way i just done! but this time a single Digit number worked (the answer).
So i can't give any other type of help on this type of verification code process. (sorry).

Also i noticed Jose has an Answer as well which maybe the Problem at hand? about Changing the Screen Resolution to get the Program Working. Read Jose Answer above to find out,
Good Luck.
Oh by the way Program is Simple to use, good simple Screen GUI (Menu) with very few Adjustments for Video, makes good for quick Conversions, But the Bit Rate Maximum is only 3000 up to 4500 or 5000 would have been better, but 3000 is good for Quick Conversions i Guess.
Mark

Mike,
Sorry did not read your Question properly.
You need to Download the Program First from the GOTD Link (Download Now), Once you download the program you get the Link to the Verification Page from the readme Text. You get the License Code once you pass the Verification Code Process, Sent to the Email you Supply. The Actual Program and readme are in the GOTD download Zipped File.
Once Installed and you run the Program a Box will appear in front of the Programs GUI, where you add the Supplied License Number and Email (USE the email that CAME with the License. here is the Link to the Verification Page to get the License.

[ Mark ], thanks, but it failed to create a window on screen after installation -- on Windows 7 64 Pro ...

I rebooted into SAFE MODE, and it worked there ...

Probably a conflict with hardware / software drivers ...

Rather than troubleshoot, I'll use other free converters.

This DID install and work on another Windows 7 64 Pro computer.
.

.
[ Mark ], I suspect that the problem people have is that the software expects screen fonts at 100%, but Windows is now defaulting to 125% for high-resolution screens, so the software never loads a window on screen.

I set screen fonts to 100% rather then 125% or larger,

then logged-out, then logged-in to Windows ( or reboot ),

and that permitted success.

I suspect that is the cause of mine and other people's failures.

The program works as promised, and has a nice [ Small ] button that can shrink a video file, for me in one test, to about 60% of original ( it automatically set lesser frame rate and sampling frequency, but is still appears satisfactorily clear when watching ).
.

.
[ Jorj ], check task manager an dyou'll probably see that the program is starting, just never creating an on-screen window -- that was my problem.

I have no idea why it failed on one computer ( WIndows 7 64 Pro ).

But it installed and ran fine on another computer ( also Windows 7 64 Pro ).

I wish the program had a self-diagnosis mode to confirm it's in the right environment and offers remedy's when it fails or exits abnormally.

I dunno, try rebooting in safe mode ( awkward in Windows 10 ) and install and run first there, then reboot into normal virtual mode?
.

.
[ Jorj ], you probably uninstalled it by now, but my same problem worked in SAFE MODE, so it's probably a hardware / software drive glitch -- not worth troubleshooting for me considering the alternative free converters out there.

PhilS, could not agree more. In no way is this a 'genius' product.

Could have been even more tacky.

Introducing the new "AdoreShare Video Converter Pro Genius Ultimate Black Edition 2019"

The more stupid, unnecessary words they have in the name, the more likely I am to skip them. It just means they are desperate.

.
[ PhilS ], agreed, considering the failures to launch, it also has no way of insuring that it even works!

It DOES have a [ Small ] button that selects conversion options without me having to understand what the options mean:

bitrate kbps
scale fps
sample rate HZ

.
[ Tom Watson ],

Try a different browser, Microsoft IE Internet Explorer worked for me to let me answer the [ 13 + 5 = ]-style captcha and get the registration information sent to me.
.

Gary, thank you for documenting your detailed experience. I did want to point out that Terry I did not install the trial from the developer's site: he stated in comment #6: "Downloaded the file from this site then folowed instructions ..." So it seems that downloading the program from here (GotD) -- and following instructions -- "should" work, at least for those using Windows 7.

Thanks again for your very helpful comment.

Gary,
Great summing up there Gary.

I checked the version that I ended up with and it shows as version 1.50.

Quite poss if I had installed the Giveaway I might have ended up with the same result but I got scared when I read the negs Lol.

I must say, I found it made speedy conversions too.

Gary, this most definitely DOES work on Windows 10. I don't know why people say it doesn't.

Does NOT need to run under Administrator rights, as someone else suggested.

Phoe,

Great and thanks for verifying a working Windows 10 install! I also never run the install/setup as Administrator, and never have any problems. I also never turn off my Anti-Virus or Firewall.

It certainly leaves a mystery why others with Windows 10 are having nay problems.

Again thanks!

.
[ Gary ], failed for me on one Windows 7 64 Pro computer, worked on another Windows 7 64 Pro computer.

I think there are either hardware incompatibilities, or software support items missing or competing, but the program seems NOT to include a self-diagnosis capability to identify and report ( and repair ?!? ) failures to launch or brutal closures, such as killing via task manager, or rebooting while it's loaded.

I got 12 copies running at once, all with no on-screen window.

Naive program, it either works, or if not, they don't care.
.

Gary, Yes I do use W10. but I never suspected that my display setting was the culprit. I'd even forgotten it is set to 125%, which is the recommended default setting (by Microsoft?)

A. Geezer,

Thanks for confirming it was installed on a Windows 10 OS. Since another user confirmed that it worked on their Windows 10, it is still a mystery why it does not work on all Windows 10 OSes.

When I mentioned checking to see if it will run after checking/changing the program's compatibility settings, I did not mean regarding display settings specifically, although at this point, who knows what is causing the programs to not run properly. It could be any number of factors. The Windows 10 Compatibility Troubleshooter might help arrive at a solution. You can try the Troubleshooter method or the manual settings method. A Google search for "run this program in compatibility mode Windows 10" will get several links to pages showing how this works, even YouTube videos. It would be interesting to see if this gets any of the Windows 10 installs working.

Peter Blaise,

Thanks; I had already noticed your response to Jorj about one Win 7 64 Pro working, and another not. Just when I was thinking it was all related to Windows 10, you have confirmed this program certainly has its issues when it comes to working or not after the install. What is odd, is that the program seems to have these "working or not" issues going back into 2016. You would think they would have become aware that there was an issue, and resolved it by now. Maybe, it has to go back to Tenorshare to get fixed. I agree, they are likely one and the same, only different. I looked through my other Adoreshare install history records (I capture every screen of the install), but none of the others had Tenorshare on them. Thankfully, we have plenty of the alternatives, so this is no great loss. Again thanks.

jj juice,
I totally agree, lol.....most like this very basic converter, all do the same thing for the most part, just some are a bit faster than others, but hardly any that really creatively stand out with unique downloading, editing enhancement features.

jj juice, Interesting that you ask if there are 500 video converters out there. This week I downloaded one called 500th Video Converter from http://www.glorylogic.com/video-converter.html and it is now my preferred one. Simple interface and faster than xmedia recode that I had been using. Seems to be still a work-in-progress but does all I require.

....more like 5000...especially here...

"Based on today's offering and the lack of support from Adoreshare I would be inclined to buy their software."

You would or you would not?????????

Judging from the context, there is no doubt that he meant to say that he would not buy their software.

Susan, My bad, meant to say I WOULD NOT, but most people would have worked that out anyway

nibo1978,
But Nibo - Instead of insulting me to cover up your own ignorance and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS you will see that you DO NOT use your email to register the product - only to obtain the registration key.
Some people huh?
Duh!!

Peter Blaise, Thank you!

Terry I,

Can you confirm for Suze and I which setup you installed. I read your comment as that you installed the Trial from Adoreshare, but Suze implies that since you "followed instructions" therefore, you installed the GOTD setup. Granted, you have to download the file from GOTD to get the readme.txt details, but then downloaded the Trail from the URL you specified, which is the Adoreshare source. I understood you "followed instructions" to get the license code sent to your e-mail address, but installed the Trial from Adoreshare.

Thanking you in advance;

Gary,
Hi,
I installed the trial.

[ Hadrianus ] the question was where to use one's own email ( at the request web site ) versus the email supplied in the registration instructions ( inside the software when registering ).

Dan Alvarado, software downloaded successfully, it says it installed successfully but my uninstall software opens with a message "incomplete install" the run box is checked when I press finish.
