Awesome software! And thanks for the instantly-registered!

Got to say this is quite a sophisticated, robust system. Amazing number of integrated features that might replace several standalone utilities I've used for years - NoteTab Light, MetaPad, MWSnap for sure.

Great program, installed with no issues. Will be fantastic for genealogy research! thank you!

Does this version have full capabilities (ie. 20 pages 500 entries?)

Never really had much use for software like this but I'm planning a new project at the start of next year. After installing and trying Spartan out it looks as if this could prove to be an invaluable aid and ideal for my needs. Perfect timing and a big thanks to both GOTD and M8Software.

Excellent clipboard software - the best I have EVER used, and I've used 'em all. Not that hard to use, is great for pasting images

Is anyone else getting this error on a windows 7 machine:
SpartanClips.exe "the procedure entry point RtlgetNtSystemRoot could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll" ?

Take care.

It is going to take a long time to learn, but the comments make it clear that it will be worth it.
Their own videos (on the left) do not work, the thing just keeps going round and round and nothing appears, but the you tube videos on the right seem to work. As usual the talk is not too distinct (I hate these instructional videos) but you can press on something to get sub-titles. However as usual with these videos it goes far far too quickly.
I will have to devote a spare day to beginning to understand this programme. I particularly like the promise of ability to copy into DOS, though it does not seem to tell you how to do it. What do you do on the DOS screen to get it to paste, after setting it in spartan to copy to DOS?
But I have never seen so many good comments in GAOTD (with warnings that it is complicated) and I must find a spare day to begin to learn it.

Haven't tested it yet, but for people like me, who have never used this program before, it could help to watch some youtube videos about the usage of the program by going to Help >Video Tutorials.

I've been using this for years and really like it. I have tried to find a free alternative that was as easy to use but they don't exist. I bought the pro edition for both home and work computers because I like it so much.

Agree with d adams. This program has come a long way since the 10.5 version. I lost that version when I had a severe crash and was heart broken. This program does take some time getting used to, but it's a great tool for editing pic clips and formatting text without loading gobs of programs. Take a leisurely Sunday afternoon and test some of the settings. You won't want to be without it. Thank you M8 for this generous offer.

I have used M8 products for close to 20 years and simply couldn't function without them. I purchased Spartan Lite a year or two ago. I'm delighted to upgrade to the full version.

For 10+ years, until retiring, it was a mainstay of an online book business. EVERYTHING was saved and organized via M8 products. Frequently used paragraphs were just a click away.

After retiring, I took up genealogy. I use the alt keys extensively. Alt A is a whole lot easier than typing Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA or Alt D deceased.

Enjoy!

Installed fine for me after deactivating Avast Free's shields for a minute to get the installation started. Win10 x64 HP. The year planner looks intriguing; not sure there's any way to export or transfer the info to any other calendar, though. Thanks folks!

Interesting product which seems a little complex to memorize and use.

For copy and paste, i stay a fan of CLCL (free) from Nakka with plugins (free too).

CLCL is clipboard caching utility.

- All clipboard formats are supported.
- Template can be registered.
- Pop-up menu is displayed by "Alt+C."
- Menu can be customized.
- Item is paste automatically.
- Picture is displayed on a menu.
- Tool tip is displayed on a menu.
- The format to leave and the format to save can be set up.
- The ignored window can be set up.
- The paste key for every window can be set up.
- Function is extensible with plug-in.
- Unicode
- Freeware

Spartan is maybe a better value for desk workers on PC all the day.

A very worked-through program with lots of options. Takes a bit to learn to use it.

I've disabled my antivirus and tried to install 3 times...it says activation is successful, but nothing gets installed. I reread the readme and it was no help... i am running windows 10 if that helps. please advise

Strange happenings.

Ok, I already had version 21.5 installed from an earlier giveaway so I looked for an upgrade button. No such luck, so i downloaded and ran the new version. Pre-registered but likely you will need to turn Antivirus off.

Then whilst installing, up came a message telling me that a re-boot would be required to install? - click OK which i did.

Install carried on, no probs and I waited for screen to blacken and then 'Installed' sign appeared and that was it.

I assume the shut down & reboot it refers to, was shutting down and re-starting Spartan - not the system??
Anyway, all's well and I now have the later version installed.

Cant tell you if its better than the last because to tell the truth, I never used the last version as I had forgotten all about it. Perhaps this time, eh?

Here is a list of the upgrades since last version if that helps you decide.

I got this here many years ago as version 10.5. For me it was been such a useful tool that I purchased the portable version. I have placed the folder on every computer I have owned. I will happily install this upgrade and express my gratitude to the GOTD team and the publisher M8 Software.

This could be nice, I'll wait TK's comment first. I use Ditto now.
