VicS, sometimes windows file systems drivers fall over and windows explorer shows a ghost file/folder entry and it can be resolved by rebooting or loging out and then back in. Microsoft Windows is NOT deisgned to be a resiliant quality and data integrity assured operating system it has far too many potential failure points within the software alone without taking into account the non-resilant hardware on desktop/workstation/notebook systems e.g. no ECC RAM sticks
background radiation can cause individual bits in an SDRAM chip to flip state and without builtin ECC circuitry in teh RAM chips it cannot be detected or corrected and can and often does result in data/code corruption resulting in spurrious errors or crashes.

VicS,

I downloaded, installed, and activated the program on my cloud drive which I have mapped as a folder on my C: drive. It didn't seem to have any issues whatsoever running. In fact, I utilized the Application Uninstaller function of the program to actually uninstall itself which it did except for leaving the folder as described. However, I then deleted the folder and emptied the recycle bin and it was gone. Hope this helps.

Rey, the code is in the readme file.

Paul, Maybe you inadvertently used the Mac code rather than the Windows code (or vice versa) like I did.

Paul, any chance you installed and activated a previous giveaway, say 6.0 and the new install is picking up the previous license and preventing it from letting you to enter the new license code?

Buckley, Thank you for reminding me about the code.
It turned out the problem was the last character was wrong when I did the copy and past of the code from the readme file. I changed the last character from K to 7, then activation went fine.

Paul S,
It supports data erasure on SSD.

DoYourData, So will it make a difference to my SSD, as I was previously told that SSDs don't need cleaning and erasing like this? Please can you confirm?

Traditional erasing overwrites the data on a conventional hard disk, making multiple passes because the write heads wobble a tiny bit. That of course doesn't apply to an SSD since there are no write heads, but they still can be cleared or erased. Erasing or clearing data is a safeguard before selling or giving or throwing away a used conventional, SSD, or USB drive or memory card.

SSDs tend to use over-provisioning, which practically speaking means that you cannot access every block of storage to make sure it's cleared. An SSD can however send a voltage spike to each block of storage resetting it to its initial [out of the box] state. Some manufacturers offer their own tools for download, & you can use 3rd party tools like DoYourData Super Eraser. The problem is that because not every block is easily accessible, you can't verify it worked -- when tested several years ago on different brands & models of SSD, it did not always work. That doesn't mean another user could access that remaining data, but an electronic tech might. Many companies use a disk shredding service to physically destroy discarded drives. Note that some tools require the SSD to be disconnected from the PC/laptop & then reattached, &/or booting to a USB stick.

Paul S, SSD dievices conencted directly to computer via SATA or other designed in busses under operating systems that support TRIM on a file by file deletion or partition deletion basis like Windows 7 or above, for instance, automatically practically erase deleted files data by de-allocating the flash memory sub-pages from access for the given LBA and logical clusters making the data imediatly inaccessible via the SSD firmware and queuing the pages for eventual perminant electrical erasure during periodic garbage collection by the SSD drives firmware. rendering it unrecoverable by labs accessing the flash memory chips directly.

Prctically erasing better than overwriting alone since each write to an existing file on a SSD drive remaps the new write to a new recently erased flash sub-page and the previous contents are again queued for eventual erasure in future garbage collection. Both are just as secure as each other but overwriting needlessly reduces the drives lifetime writes availabiltiy each time it happens. The ONLY times it is necesary to (in my experience) is when TRIM is not implimented properly either by the operating system (SSD drives used in XP or Vista systems or old linux systems) and/or SSD drives that are within any USB drive caddy of any sort or SSD drives whose firmware does not imediately deallocate the original files mapped flash memory pages from the LBA address it was assigned to and does not imediately replace subsiquent reads with zeroed sector data instead of the original sectors contents AND you have data you cannot afford to be retrieved by anyone else.

Paul S, You're thinking of registry cleaning, today's software is for uninstalling programs/wiping drive

Zubair Ahmed, Within the standard one day period as indicated "You have limited time to download, install and register it.
19hours28mins55secs"

Zubair Ahmed,
You should activate it before giveaway ends

Zubair Ahmed, depends upon your circumstances if you have a previous giveaway version such as 6.0 activated from a previous giveaway on the target machine.. the answer is YES for this giveaway as this new update will re-use the previous giveaways activation data. It DOES normally validate a new license activation with their server but once that is done all it does is put the license key in the file configure.dat in the installation folder.

[register]
sn=VALID LICENSE CODE

and next time it runs it looks at the file and sees it and accepts it and behaves activated.
I could make suggestions for the developer if they want to tighten up their licensing further. But it's something if they were concerned about I'm sure they could come up with some very simple improvements.
