Rollback Rx- what's with the shipping charge?

I decided to buy Rollback Pro but killed the shopping cart when I saw they had added a $24.75 shipping charge to the price of their product.

Since the software is downloaded, there is nothing to ship, right? So why the shipping charge? Did I do something wrong in making the purchase, or is this extra charge legitimate?

 

I noticed that too. It feels a bit strange, but since I used the 50% discount coupon (provided in another thread) the price was more than reasonable for this kind of software imo. I hope you changed the shipping charges to reflect the fact that you did download the software? Then the charge was reduced to a couple of dollars.

 

bellgamin,
In the bottom of the shopping cart, click on "Email/FTP" instead on "Fedex shipping", then click on calculate shipping. it will recalculate the total.

Hope it helps.

 

The shipping charge is if you want the software delivered by post. You can choose the "delivery by email" option in the way described by Antartica.

 

@TonyW & Antartica- Thank you very very much!

Duhhh... I didn't notice the email option. With that button clicked, the price is indeed VERY reasonable.

I have purchased Rollback Pro but my serial number is still *on the way*. In the meantime, I'm wondering how to enter the serial number once it IS received.

On the Demo version of Rollback, I can't find a "Register" button. Do I have to reinstall in order to enter the registration information or what?

 

bellgamin, once you have this baby up and running, if you don't mind, could you let us know how you like it? Thank.

from the email I got from horizon:

 

BUT... I can' find any way to access "the registration window. I know how to cut & paste. My problem is Inability to locate a registration window wherein to do that.

QUESTION: How do I get to the dadgummed registration window?

P.S. ---- Someone asked me how I like Rollback. I LOVE it! That's why I bought it. I even gave it a Valentine card.

 

They obviously mean this registration window, but that only appears during installation.

 

Did you look under the menu "help"?

Hi Bellgamin,
Right-click the Rollback system tray icon and select "About". Click on the registration button to bring up the registration window. Then choose "Register online to obtain a registration code". Click on "Register" to continue. You will be prompted to reboot to complete the registration.
Cheers

 

@Heco- Many many thanks. I dood it!

Next dumb qwestions- I bought the Pro version & set it to take a snapshot daily.

Q1- Obviously I will take a special snapshot just before doing something potentially dangerous but... is there a *school solution* as to how often to take routine RECURRING snapshots?

Q2- If I continue taking daily snapshots, the number of them will grow rather rapidly. Should I periodically clean some of them out? If so, when?

 

Looks to me like there are as many ways of using this unique and flexible program as there are people using it!

True...

 

That`s the same way I do it and it seems to work out just fine.

 

@Pete- Thanks. Your method sounds both logical & effective so that's the way I shall do it.

@All of you who have so kindly & clearly given me advice -- Aloha and Mahalo!

 

How long does defragging take with this tool?

 

Some might say that is too short to be considered a thorough defrag.

 

I've just found this from their knowledge base:

 

Rollback requires that you "reset" a LOT of your thinking! (And that can be a GOOD thing ... some of the time ).

I appreciate that, Peter, and it's all very intriguing. This program certainly has a different concept from some of the other methods we have seen for system recovery.
