I have the same problem of activation failure like other people here. Is there a way to get around this problem of activation? We need help.

Bench grinder. That is all. if you NEED it wiped that's your go to.
The cost of a new HDD is infinitesimal compared with the cost to your butt of sharing a cell with Bubba for the next thirty years.

On the home page, just after Why Choose TS Data Wiper, it says "DTS DataWiper offers 100 safe, effective data erasure standards to help you securely, easily and permanently erase data depending on your needs." I can only see 5 data erasure standards listed.
The certified part may be a bit overstated. There is a lack of evidence that this software is certified by an independent body. If certified is referring to the algorithms used, where is this certification at least for the Gutmann methodology? A paper was written but where is the certification (whatever that means)?
The user guide states "The licence code can be transferred to your new computer". So, there doesn't appear to be a bootable cd/usb option.
I am uncomfortable. Perhaps some attention by the vendor to the advertising verbiage would clear up some of the fog and potential misunderstandings.

Thanks about the GOTD Offer! :)
Installation went normal and the Registration Key works!
When having issues like disappearing GUI/UI:
Uninstall it, Restart (preferably first Safe Mode and than Normal Mode), do a Registry and System File Check (look online about it and write/print it and/or use another device to use, preferably with an Internet connection.
Restart after checking it all (preferably into Safe Mode first and than Normal Mode).
Than Install the program again (or the version that can be downloaded at the GOTD Offering firm) and see what happens, after a Normal Restart.
Check if Create a Restore Point is active, Google: How to see if Restore Points are Created Win ??
My OS was some how set to NO, or it just didn't do that. Did check and fixed it.
When having a System Utility software, you might have the option to do a System Check by that program.
However, it might be better to use Windows to check. Maybe both.
Some questions to think about:
A lot installed?
Did this occur earlier?
Any system hang once in a while, or happened once?
And a lot more question when possible and write errors down.
This way you will have a list to go on, when trying to fix it.
Good Luck & Have Lots Fun, Enjoy! :)
PS: Have a happy work week & weekend! :)

USER,
Windows 10 x64 Pro is the OS that's installed.
Save | Cancel
USER,
Very Important:
After Restart the first time and after each Uninstall and Restart of the software, do a Registry & File System Check.
Google: How to do a FSC Win ???, or How to do a File System Check Step by Step Win ???
Make sure you have it all to support you, when you can't use the computer, just to be sure.
Use another computer if you like, like a mobile phone or whatever and/or write/print it out.
Forgot about it! :(

With the comms allready put Up, I'll pass om this one.
I have used Eraser, from Heidi computer, for years.
It has, different Eraser opputunities. I use The Gutmann(35passes), which had never let me down.

So . . . . . . . If Activation is failing how is it that we have such a high Approval Rating??? Something isn't making sense here!!!

I've used similar software, KillDisk (free), to wipe a 4TB HDD that Windows 10 was preventing me to format. Worked well.

The program starts (GUI comes up), then it just disappears. Any ideas?

Michael Earwood, Operating system? You realize there's a DEP fix for Windows 7 & 10 don't you? I'm not saying that's the issue but I've fixed many a program because of it.

Michael Earwood,
Oeps, the Comment #9 was meant as a response to this Comment!
Just look up & Enjoy! :)

I gather that since this program so far has a 95% thumbs-up and no commentary that it actually does what it says and is as strong at wiping drives as it claims?

Rob, it also could be company trolls trying to boost the credibility of GotD's daily offering...which happens a lot.

I entered the key correctly and activated it and the message "Activation failed. You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Please contact technical support via email [...]"

This is a nice offer, BUT... how can you produce data wiping software without a component to completely wipe the system drive, meaning the entire drive including the OS? There should be a bootable tool --- written to cd or usb --- that allows wiping the entire system disk without removing the disk and mounting it to a separate computer.
Save | Cancel
Fred,
That's one Option.
However, they could create a Temporairly Master/Active HDD/SSD to complete the Complete HDD/SSD Wipe.
It's possible to have the system restart and do it all. The only thing why the HDD/SSD is present, is to be Wiped. It can be set to give it a Drive Letter, when formatted or not too, HDD/SSD Drive Check & Fix, and so much more.
If they would, they could create it that way, that it will do it all and ask if you like to start an OS (Where to find (when needed), or by a Live distribution by USB/DVD (portable mediums) or whatever), or to Install an OS & Where and Much More if they like.
So..
Enjoy the GOTD! :)

Can they rally wipe SSD , with its sector remapping where nothing is ever stored in the same place?
Save | Cancel
AR,
There are a couple of 3rd party tools that claim to, but your best hope IMHO is to use whatever utility is provided by the SSD manufacturer & hope that it really works -- tests have shown not always depending on brand/model.

TK, Right. over-provisioning is only for the capacity, not the write spreading algorithm. Otherwise, simply filling the drive with random files would have been enough.
As for ATA SE command, not all drives implement it as they should:
