Thank you Chris. Worked a treat.

Still can't register using all the keys. Windows 10 pc.

Product would not activate with any of the keys sent with the download

Nice Product , Face some problem in activation but hats off to their quick support (within 2 minutes). They send me new key. Thank you Akick Team

Use key 3 or 4.
Windows "Product activated successfully".
Restart program, About "Valid For: Trial Version".

I say, avoid this software. It has now accepted 3 of the the serials and said activation sucessfull, still its only a trial.

I bet that even after a $100 it will say trial.

There seems to be a problem with the registration module, like some of the other beta testers after entering the key the software remains in TRIAL version even when restarting the program.

Very Quick Respond on email.

Thank you Akick Team for quick response

There are a few issues with the application that I find hinder the use of it.

Problem 1.
I deleted a few documents just to test to see if it works, It does indeed "recover" files, but the file contents aren't the actual file, but the path of the file, for example a picture when I recover it does the following It asks me to save the file which i do, so I saved it to my desktop, I noticed that the picture isn't an actual picture, I go inspect the contents with a text editor.

Þ €>5…Ò E : \ C P j U 1 F 1 U w A A o A G s . j p g

Doesn't appear to be a image, It could very well be a conflict with veracrypt, but it's something that I doubt. It was just a deleted file off a HDD (non-ssd)

Problem 2.
Obviously the activation seems to be an issue as I can't activate it.

Problem 3. (well not really a problem)
The price point is a bit too high, if you want competition aim for a lower price range people will buy this over a $199 application for example if it's good.

That being said I see potential in the application once these minor issues are fixed, I myself like the outlook of the application, the UI is alright It's not awful, needs a few improvements.

I tried too get the download link via email 3 times but it hasn't been sent. How do I get it?

I can't activate. After enter serial and push activate button nothing happens.

Installed in Win 7 x64 with no issue

Registration does not work. Entering the supplied GOTD activation key and the application stays in trial mode, it does not activate

Two disk images mounted in windows. 1 raw image mounted and formatted as FAT32 disk is selectable for scanning in the application. Another F2FS raw image mounted but not formatted is listed in the application but is greyed out (not-selectable for scanning).

Scanning the FAT32 disk finishes within less than a second, with no results returned.

Scanning the windows C: drive (512GB SSD) for photos produces a long list of images of which approx 50% have a "good chance" or recovery, and the other 50% as "Bad".

- There is no file or images preview.
- There is no count of the returned results.
- There is no option to select all
- The main application window can not maximized
- There are no results view options, one single fixed view
- Scan results can not be saved

The list goes on. What raises many questions, is that in the application there is a logo indicating Akick as a "Microsoft Partner - Gold Application Development". And on their site other prominent logos as "Cisco Premier Partner" and "Intel Software Partner Premier 2016".

On the company's site, there is no contact address or phone number under "Contact us" just a typical form.
However, on the support page there is a toll-free number and an email address.
On the Awards page, software.intel.com link is invalid, and looking up Akick returns no results on the site.

And lastly, on the product's page, under "System Requirements" it would have bee sufficient to say windows xp SP3 and above and not text-fill with every single OS. You got the point.

Dicthing this one.

Aktivierung funktioniert nicht.

I get an error right off the bat that Windows Smart Screen is preventing an installation as the program is unsafe.

Just tried it at 0730 EST and it still didn't work. I re-downloaded the software and key at 0712 EST.

can`t register with new key

Activation still won't work. Poor..

Key does not work still stays in trial mode.

According to the developer's own Press Release at that time, Akick Data Recovery was launched in December 2016 because:

"Imagining a day when you aren't able to access crucial documents, family pics, song collections is difficult. Apparently, it would not be a good feeling. But now, it is absolutely possible to recover lost data with the recovery software."

Imagining a day would also be difficult when apparently it would not be a good feeling, either, to have to spend $100 a year, every year, on an unknown recovery app when it is absolutely possible to acquire Recuva from well-established developer Piriform for absolutely nothing at all.

As this GOTD comments thread exists as much to help developers as GOTDers, might I suggest to Akick Software that it embarks on a period of recovery itself before returning to this sector with something less palpably laughable?

It clearly hasn't a clue about what it's doing with today's promotion -- the reference to the trial version's appalling two-file restriction is obviously unintended -- whilst the fact that Malwarebytes is blocking Akick's primary address as malicious and reporting the extended link on this page as an SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG connection fail is downright embarrassing. As for hoping to rent out its wares at $100 annually recurring, words fail. . .

The thought occurs that this isn't actually a product promotion as some High School research project into consumer gullibility. Either way, thanks GOTD, but absolutely no thanks.

After entering the registration key specified in the readme.txt, nothing happens. In the help about it still shows as "Trial Version". How do I activate it?

I could not register the software:

Only 1 year? on this type of software (which we get at least once a week) pass

It would also be very nice, if the supplied ser # actually worked. Tried to register several times - no joy. Not a good start to "try" their product!

Their website states that you can recover only two files in the trial mode. Therefore, what is offered today is cripple-ware. Considering all of the similar software available on the market, $99 for this program, if it were available for use indefinitely, would still be out of range. $99 for a single year is ridiculous. This software manufacturer should go back to the drawing board and look at what's available on the market in similar products and then price theirs accordingly. Recovery of only two files at a time, makes this program more of a nuisance than a benefit.
