Shadow Protect Desktop ver.3.0 vs. 3.3

Hi Guys,

Quick question. Currently running SP 3.0 on win XP SP3 w/o any issues at all. It runs 5days a week to two ext HDD's. Alternate days to alternate drives.

What are the benefits/differences of upgrading to ver 3.3?

I've attached a file that sort of outlines the changes (mostly resolved issues) from v3.0 to v3.3. Hope it helps.

 

Hello,
Is Shadow Protect still being gay with their activation scheme? I've been waiting for this "feature" to drop with new releases. Probably not any time soon?
How many times can you reformat/reinstall the app before they can our license?

 

It's a tough call. So many other developers manage to handle registrations in ways other than that silly monitored activation process. It's kept me away from ShadowProtect. But, whatever. I still use Powerquest Drive Image 2002 - the final release from PQ before the buyout. It's one great piece of software. Plus, I don't have to worry about how many activations I have left before I am hassled by hard nosed (some may say paranoid) developers. There's got to be better ways. Like I said, everybody else manages it.

 

Thanks prius, it's appreciated.

I agree... the activation hassle is the one and only thing keeping me from buying SP. I realize they want to keep their product from being hacked... but from what I've read, it is an amazing hassle to go thru to re-activate it when you change hardware.

 

If you are moving to new hardware without an HIR restore of an existing system, just deactivate on your old system and reactivate on the new one. If you are doing an HIR restore to different hardware, then nothing is required. The old activation follows right along very nicely. I know because I just moved my system to new hardware w/o any activation effort at all. For me, Storagecraft's activation policy is a non-problem and a non-issue. No amazing hassle at all.
