Dear users,
We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused by the invalid license code. We have reactivated the license code
If GOTD agrees to prolong the campaign for another 24hrs, so do we.
By the way, to make a large batch of computers restoration much easier and more rapid, we just released a free image deployment software - AOMEI Image Deploy which is associated with AOMEI Backupper. It allows you to simultaneously deploy a system image or disk image created by AOMEI Backupper to multiple computers in the same network.
Notes: The license code is valid from today to Oct 24, 2016, please activate AOMEI Backupper Pro 3.5 as soon as possible.
Have a happy weekend!
Best regards,
AOMEI Technology

AOMEI Technology, tried to install...said it was corrupt...today's date is the 22nd of October not the 24th.
Thanks anyway.
Save | Cancel
P.W.,
Solution...
Option #1
-Temporarily disable your antivirus software.
-Delete previous download of this offer from your computer and download it again
-Extract all files into the same empty folder you created on your desktop
-Run setup.exe, install and then register it.
- Delete folder where setup.exe and setup.gcd resides
-Reactivate your antivirus.
Option #2
- Boot your computer into 'Safe' mode with internet connection
- Download, again, this offer
- Install program and register with given reg key
- reboot computer into regular mode
After using option #1 or #2, delete setup.exe and setup.gcd files as they are no longer needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? Most past viruses came in the form of an executable file named setup.exe or setup.(something)
This triggers a false positive response from your antivirus software and corrupts the download of offers here on GOTD.
This is why you need to do the steps outlined above.
Save | Cancel
P.W.,
Read it again, the message tells us that the license code is valid for use from today (whatever today is when you read the note) until October 24. On October 25 you won't be able to use the code.
Save | Cancel
P.W., Same experience here. Said file was corrupt.
Save | Cancel
P.W.,
Please note that they clearly have stated that "The license code is valid from today to Oct 24, 2016".

Robert, The problem with anti-virus false positives lies within the file contents, not with the filename. Almost all anti-virus software on the market rely upon recognizing a sequence of bytes within the file (referred to as a signature) The difficulties arise because the anti-virus firms have mistakenly chosen to look for a sequence that is also found within legitimate software.

Helen, do you think the DOS attack today had anything to do with the lack of response (or apperance of the lack of response) from the developer? It just seems to me that the developer would not let this slide if they could help it.

I downloaded AOMEI Backupper Pro 3.5 on Friday. I unzipped
the package and tried to run Setup.exe. It started the activating
process. However, about 10 seconds later, I kept getting the
following error message:
"Failed to connect. Please try again later."
This happened repeatedly, as I tried continuously but I was
unable to connect.
I also tried disabling my AV software and my firewall as well,
but to no avail. This has happened another time this year
with a GOTD offering.
I wonder if anyone else is having this issue or it's just me.
Thanks!
Save | Cancel
Joe M.,
I used to experience this issue too.
Disabling my AV or/and firewall did not help at all. So I decided to check if it were my TinyWall firewall that was causing this problem. I left the AV alone at this phase, and decided to Revo uninstall TinyWall and install a different firewall.
Magically, my "Failed to connect. Please try again later" problem disappeared.
Yours might be a different culprit, but I am sharing my experience so others can try this action.
Cheers,
consuella

Ran Setup.exe. Activation successful. But when I ran Backupper, it was an old version (1.6) presumably from an old Giveaway. Uninstalled old Backupper and reran Setup.exe. Claimed that Activation was successful but nothing was installed. Backupper Pro 3.5 was NOT installed at all.
How can I get Backupper Pro 3.5 to install?
Save | Cancel
Question: I have been using the previous version with great success. I downloaded the new version just now, but it is asking me if I want to completely uninstall the previous version in order to install the new one. Am I correct in assuming that all my previous settings will be erased if I do that? I'm reluctant to do that.... Thanks for any help.
Save | Cancel
In my opinion, this is one of the best giveaways of the year, if not the best one.
Personally, AOMEI Backupper saved me several times in the past and I am very grateful for that. I learned about them thanks to our terrific contributor Giovanni, who had often recommended this tool.
Thank you, then, GOTD and AOMEI for this awesome giveaway.
P.S.
I hope, Giovanni is doing fine. He used to enliven this board with his animated comments, quite often containing a dose of humor, which made his posts such a fun to read.

Thank GOTD and AOMEI for this gem. Installed and activated without problems on my Win 10 Pro, v. 10.0.14393 Build 14393, x64-based PC. I need to buy a laptop and have on it basically the same (O/S and applications) that I have now on my desktop PC. Many laptops are offered without an O/S installed. Can a professional answer authoritatively this question: "Can AOMEI Backupper Pro 3.5 be successfully used to transfer my PC's O/S (and all applications) to a new laptop without O/S?" If yes, what steps will I have to make to achieve this goal? [In my desktop PC, I have also another internal drive, D:, on which a great number of applications reside. Will it also be possible to transfer all of them in a similar way to the new laptop, assuming its disk capacity is sufficient? Will I have to make two partitions on laptop's C: drive?]
Save | Cancel
WKKos, No You can't do that,cause Windows system image backup won't boot(cause of different hardware).You must install fresh copy of Windows on new laptop.But after that it's easy to transfer all your applications from old to new machine.There is a program for that(it was offered on all major giveaway sites(as I remember,also on GOTD).You must install that program on both machines,and process is simple.
Save | Cancel
perpetumobile, Thank you for your expert advice. Can't you recall the name of the program you have in mind?
Save | Cancel
Kevin, Thank you for your response. Interestingly, I've got TWO contradicting responses: 1. by "perperpetumobile" and 2. by you. I will study the tutorial you indicated hoping that you are right.
Anyway, I wonder why two experts offer totally different advice. I think, that finally I will ask AOMEI for their clarification of the issue to be on the safe side.
Save | Cancel
WKKos, I managed to find it,and it's working perfect.Program is PCMover by Laplink company(now they are official Microsoft partner).Kevin try to do that and let me know if it works ;) .In theory it is possible,but to do that You need serious amount of time and knowledge,and even than result is almost always-not working OS.Main reason is ''when you install Windows on a computer, it sets itself up with drivers specific to that computer’s motherboard and chipset. The drivers for the storage controller, which allows the motherboard to communicate with the hard disk, are particularly important. When Windows boots on different hardware, it doesn’t know how to handle that hardware and won’t boot properly.'' and that's just one issue.I tried to do that,and I know what I'm talking about.That's why some people prefer Linux.btw that process generally isn’t supported by Microsoft. (we all know what that means).
Save | Cancel
perpetumobile, Thanks again. You sound absolutely reliably - it is the different drivers that will render the idea unsuccessful, I agree. So, I will not even try, but will now disclose what is behind the above formulation of my question:
I've been living for some time in Poland where the above-mentioned desktop PC is and will remain after I move soon to an Arab country, also for some time. Before I move, I need to buy a laptop in Poland. The problem, surprisingly, is that in Poland you can buy computers ONLY with a Polish-language version of Win 10 (and Home edition only) OR without an O/S installed. So, I'm inclined to buy a laptop without an O/S. My real problem is where to (cheaply & officially) buy an O/S that I need (i.e., Win 10 Pro 64-bit EN). After that, I will use PCmover Express (by Laplink/MS) to move to my new laptop some of my applications installed on the present desktop PC. And, yes, I know that many of them will not move to/install on properly on the new laptop, but I want to try. So, if you can, please advise from where (a link is solicited) I can obtain an installable (and "activate-able") version of Win 10 Pro 64-bit in English.
Save | Cancel
TK, Thank you. As you already know, I intend to NOT restore my present O/S residing on my desktop PC, but install the same on a newly-purchased laptop of different manufacturer (and, most likely, configuration). I simply want to have the same O/S on TWO different machines at the price of what I have already paid for what I have already had for some time. Can you, therefore, guarantee that the operation I intend to carry out will be successful?

Hi GOTD folks - Been using the Aomie Backupper for a long time and was delighted to see the pro version giveawy. This has rescued my W7 system sooooooo many times. Especially recently when I keep having my network adapter diabled for no good reason. A quick reinstall of my last image fixes the problem. Brillaint software though I couldn't recover my W8 system with the older version. Thanks GOTD :)

Thanks! I do not understand why some people can't even appreciate free software without complaining. If something don't work or could be better, address that and not how much you hate GOTD crew or the creators of these free software that is given for FREE here.

Pelle,
Well they are appreciating what GOTD does. Most of the people complaining, rightfully so, had to do with the registration code not working. AOMEI and GOTD worked together to solve this issue by extending the offer, once again. So if people are complaining it's usually for a reason and not just to gripe over nothing. I give props to both AOMEI and GOTD for resolving this 'invalid key' problem they had yesterday. Let's give credit where credit is due.

Have other Giveaway users been having computer problems since attempting to install Aomei Backupper Pro 3.5? Setup.exe ran on my machine and then I got a window saying, "Program Activated," and that's all I got. The program didn't install. I shut down my machine and then, a few minutes ago, tried to start my computer again. My computer wouldn't start. Windows 7 started Startup Repair and used System Restore, and then Windows started. Don't know what the cause of the problem was. Funny things are happening tonight.

Hi Walter Snodgrass. :-)
What antivirus, firewall, antimalware, antispyware, antilogger, are you using?
Save | Cancel
xilolee, Thanks for your reply to my comment. Bitdefender Internet security was causing the problem. I've had programs blocked by security before, but not the way that Aomei Backupper Pro was blocked. The program just disappeared, and I got no notification of any kind that the program had been blocked by Bitdefender. I disabled Bitdefender and Backupper Pro installed very quickly. Aomei Backupper Pro is wonderful. I would have bought the program years ago if I'd known about it. Backupper Pro created a system image for me in about 1/4 the time taken by Windows. Backupper Pro copies files from drive to drive as quickly as can Technet's Rich Copy, and does the job with none of the complications that one runs into with Rich Copy. I'll keep Aomei Backupper Pro and will likely buy a copy when I next buy a computer. I'm on my way out to buy a replacement for Bitdefender, which is more of a nuisance than is most of the malware against which Bitdefender defends.

For those of you who cannot register I wouldn't be too worried the free version will fulfil the needs of 99% of us.
This is part of a comment by Chris Locke (CS Computer Services) regarding the difference between the pro version and the free version, he has given some really interesting information today..
" The only advantage is command line scripting and merging backups (so differentials can be merged in with its corresponding full backup). Personally, I don't think these additions warrants upgrading".

I'm in that 1%............BUT downloaded this morning, tried to install several times, REVO'd it (uninstalled) twice, THEN dumb me, came here to discover NO ONE else can Activate....few hours wasted meanwhile.
