    Likewise, there was no requestion DURING the installation to put in the serial number, when I tried after the installation was completed it tries to send me to a dead link 'https://bo4-fe.paragon-software.com' .
    At this stage I would recommend holding off until the bugs are fixed. I'm going to lodge a support docket and I'll post the replies.

    "I have downloaded a new copy of the installation file and whilst it still dosen't ask for the serial number during installation it now allows me to activate it when I first fire-up the new icon on my desktop.
    So the file is now fixed, please change your installation instructions to reflect the real proceedure."

    OK, the install file now works, but not as the notes say.
    download the new file
    then when it has finished installing find the icon on the desktop
    doubleclick it and insert your new serial number in the textbox

    Unlike its predecessors, the activation is tied to the GUID of your PC on which the installed BR16. That is, if installed on PC who are two different Windows, you will probably need two different license BR16. In the Paragon account can unlink the license is irrelevant GUID ("Release License").
    For example, I had Windows 10, I installed and activated BR16 10.1.28.101_000. Then I uninstall BR16 and again install 10.1.28.101_002. The activation or a key is not needed. Then i did a clean install of Win 10 Anniversary Update, somehow changed the GUID, installation BR16 again required activation. I didn't unlink the license but decided to take another key in another account Paragon.

    since i dont had it installed (i dont use paragon software on my system, only as bootable ISO), this is only win8. i also did not had br16 anytime registered. i tried also a new account, same result. i marked problems with the next webpage and now waiting feedback from support. if not i do it like "Icona Pop - I love it" with the bag and stairs and have done with paragon, waste of time.

    Right now I just cannot log into my account in order to get my serial. I keep getting the message:

    "We're really sorry, but MyParagon Customer Portal is temporarily unavailable due to the scheduled maintenance. We will be back shortly.
    We apologize for any inconvenience that may cause."

    This thing goes on for a week now. Does anybody know where it is going to be fixed..? or is there any other way to go about it? Being just a step from longed-for serial number and being unable to get it... kind of silly.
