Well here we are, it's the next day after my "1-day left" of my 1-year license, and it now indicates that my license is expired and I'm in a "30-day Restricted Use" mode. I attempted to use the registration code again, just to see, but no dice. It indicates that the "Register Failed, Invalid Registration Code. Please Repurchase the Registration..." blah blah.

I'm VERY disappointed as I was actually using V6.5.0 for daily backups, which was good until MARCH 2022. Now I have a worthless lump of code on my system. Something should be done for all of us, as this giveaway was a huge BUST. I've yet to see any posts by anybody indicating that the registration actually worked for them, and they got the full 1-year, which is a pretty good indication that this giveaway fell flat on its face, unfortunately.

While I'm very thankful to both GAotD and Aomei for this giveaway, It just didn't work this time. Please consider a redo on this giveaway, as it's quite obvious nobody benefited from this last one.

After getting the 1 day licence message after installation, now getting '30 day restricted use' message. What is going on?

Issue with page refreshing, now see many comments below including Jorge Macieira's re this 1 day issue, hope GOTD can sort this out!

Giveaway about to end, and I've installed this AOMEI Backupper Pro 6.6.0 that still says it will expire tomorrow but no solutions here to all the people saying they have this same problem - very disappointing the manufacturer does not seem to care. I am very careful of what I install on my brand new computer but thought this program would be great, so will be following up with AOMEI re this giveaway in the hope they can fix the issue and have not wasted my time now leaving me removing all traces of a useless program if not. I think GOTD is great so hope this will be finally resolved.

I followed the installation instructions twice and still only show a one day license.
I had to uninstall a previous version of the program so now I have no version of the program. This has been a very frustrating experience.

Seeing that many people have this problem I suggest AOMEI and the GOTD team resolve this issue and offer again.

I'm pretty sure we have to restart our computer after uninstalling the previous giveaway version in order for the new one to "take."

I have the prior 6.4.0 version installed which expires next March. I would've loved to upgrade and extend the license, but there are too many posts about 1 day only issues. I noticed the reply from the vendor said "please uninstall it without saving the license info and reboot the PC." How do you not save the license info?

I'm not willing to try uninstalling my working 6.4.0 to see if perchance it will pop up a box asking me about the license info. Other people have posted they uninstalled first and still had the 1 day issue. So I will skip this giveaway until next time when I hope the vendor resolves these issues.

At first try I got the 1-day license and upon uninstall and retry now get the message: 'Register failed, invalid registration code. Please re-purchase code....

I'm also getting the warning it expires in one day, but I have a new computer that has never had any Aoemi program on it so the solution offered unfortunately does not work. I would love to try this program so hoping someone knows how do I get this to work beyond one day please?

Installation/Registration problem still not solved!
1. Uninstalled previous version, 1-day validity indicated.
2. Uninstalled newly installed version 6.6.0 discarding license info, restarted PC.
3. Started setup v 6.6.0 again -> "Setup found that a restart is required to perform the DEinstallation. Please restart PC and try the program again."
4. Restarted PC, started installation v 6.6.0 -> same error message; checked for residuals of old installation, found nothing.
So what ??

They don't give you an option to choose the installation path.
You just have to blindly accept wherever they decide to install their program.

And again, their uninstaller arased my Programs icons (64 and 32 bit) on the screen of another computer.
Not only that, it wouldn't allow me to boot my computer unless I remove all external harddrives.

I think AOMEI is overrated, and they need to fix their programming procedures.

I have the earlier version. It is good & I will leave things as a they are.

I have tried to install this several times - it installs opens and when I press register button opens, I enter the activation code I was given click activate - I comes back with activation successful. Then the activation window will not close! It just starts the cursor spinning and after a long period of this I tried to close it and get a notification that the program is not responding "close" or "continue to wait for program" I've tried this over and over - Same thing again or it says activation fails and locks up!! all the while advertising 50% off on an upgrade to a lifetime license.
DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED!!

Deleted old version , ran CC cleaner And cleared registry that found parts of the old version, installed todays version and no problems , and it's not saying 1 day license

Used for years , excellent back up prog .

I've just uninstalled without saving the license info, rebooted, installed new version, entered the supplied code, and am still being told license onlyu for 1 day.

I have previously installed older versions via GOTD with no problems.

Installed on machine without a previous product installed. Registered and 1-day license.
Did the same on the Windows Sandbox and same result. Registered and 1-day license.

Just to be on the safeside, I wish to log the 1 day licence bug as well. Followed all advice in comments, after first removing all Aomei registry traces, but it persists.

I removed the old version and restarted, but the new version won't install. Nothing happens when I click setup.exe other than a very brief show of the icon indicating that something is about to start. I re-downloaded the file and extracted again, still no luck. I have Windows 10 x64.

I had the freeware version of AOMEI Backupper so I uninstalled it. When I run today's GOTD pro version the setup.exe does not launch the installer. No error messages or indicator that anything is wrong. No installer screen. I downloaded the GOTD twice to verify that I had a good download.

Then another guy with "License expire in 1 days". No other Backupper copies installed on my system, although they might have been in the past.
Aomei Partition Assistant was installed, though.

Closed anti virus etc. Then successful download and install.
Upon registration, received message, 'Register failed, invalid registration code. Please repurchase ...... etc.'
Tried a number of times including re install, restart all with the same result.
Any suggestions please?

Have used AOMEI Backupper in the past, biggest issue was that there was no option to verify that the backup taken was reliable before needing it. Ran into a situation requiring a reinstall of the OS, and when I went to use my latest backup, the backup was corrupt. Needed to go to a backup that was 3 versions old, and lost months worth of data (was taking one backup per month at that time.)

Is this something that has changed, such that after taking the backup, it can verify that the backup is reliable?

Before having installed this version of AOMEI Backupper I had uninstalled an its older version, but their uninstaller removed my Programs icon from my desktop.
It is not a big deal, as I was able to replace it, but the question arises: why is AOMEI doing it?

I already have a fully licenced copy of this software and can say that it is one of the best backup utilities I've used to date. It's possible to made recovery media either on CD,DVD or USB which can be used when booting up to recover your disk images. I've used the disk image recovery option once because I was stupid enough to mess with the registry and messed up.

What happens if I need to restore my backup after one year?

I just followed the instructions at #5 but I still get the same expire in1 day message.

I uninstalled, said no to keeping reg info, rebooted and re-installed, entered key again, same message 'expire in 1 day'.

Is it possible to get a portable version in order to bypass o.s?

One year license? Then what happens with my backups? ETC.

Says "License expires in 1days"!

After I registered the license, it says at the bottom of the home screen that my license will expire in 1 day.

"Run the program, click on the "Register" button at the bottom,"

Where is "register"?

One year license? Then what happens with my backups?
