You'll have to re-install after a year is up unless a new version becomes available, and I assume they'll make you pay then.

I guess, If you like the product it would be best to support them after 1 year by extending your license ...

Else you can always use Returnil Free. But atleast for 1 year you can use the premium features ;)

There are changes in the feature sets scheduled for the 3x series which is already in development that will strike a better ballance and provide functionality many are seeking for the Personal Edition...

I was just about to buy a lifetime Shadow Defender license as the trial has now ended and i really like the program and its features.

Got me confused now.
What do i do lol.

Thanks for the link and the info.
I have a question about this.
If I download the trial of the paid version, can I just put the free license number in it when the license is mailed to me?
Or does the free license have it's own link that I'll need to follow?
Thanks for any info.
Everybody, please have a great holiday-whichever one you celebrate.

I also have a question. Must this be installed today or can you wait until the license is emailed to you? I suspect you can do the download anytime! Thank You!

SD is great piece of software. You will not get wrong if you buy it.

If you see by this forum, many people are using it and many more are interested for it.

Beside this you are geting lifetime license which is great.

As you probably know Returnil is giving - 12 months - software upgrades and Business Customer support included.

You can download and install later when the key arrives too. No issues.

Else you can download the 30-day trial on the site and register it when you get the key.

Hey,
I hate to be a free software pig but I have a question.
I have Returnil Premium V 2.0.0.5007 which I received for free from GAOTD.
It does not expire until 5-24-09.
Question:
Can I use this newest offer to extend the expiration date another year?
IE: Use the new key at anytime before 5-24-09 to extend the expiration date another year?

By the way, I really like this software.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,
The Beta release notice is posted here and at DSLR at the same time:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=228579

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21621079-Public-Beta-update-Returnil-virtual-System-2008-v201

Both threads start with the same announcement but the one at DSLR has a link to previous information for older 2.01 betas for reference.

We are testing a new build that addresses the Vista Hibernation issue now and from my own tests on systems I have that are affected by this, the solution appears to be both valid and robust. Expect an update in the next few days ;)

If you are using Windows Vista, diasable the hibernation feature on your computer as the current release version will cause recovery from hibernation to fail. :wacko:

Hi SIR****TMG,
We have corrected the issue in the current 2.0.1.8510 Beta version. Your Serial Number for the 2.0.0 (current release version) is also valid for the Beta. If you experience the hibernation issue, we recommend installing the beta.

From testing so far, it is proving to be extremely stable with no reports of issues so far.

Hi Gizzy,
Don't despair as the SNs are on the way soon. In fact I was working to review the draft letter text this morning my time. We don't use a mass mailing service so we have to send the registration letters out in small batches...

Hi subset,
We should be adding a German localization for the GUI before release of 2.01 but cannot guarantee a Help Manual translation. We currently have one for testing but it was made for the 2.00 series and is out of date.

Thanks for information.
I have already posted my GUI translation in German forums like Rokop Security.
But the problem is - the installer is still in English.

I'm currently translating Online Armor to German, but if you need help to update the German Manual, just let me know.
