BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

[Luxor]

If anyone purchased International upgrade for PA 2001-PA 2004 Personal and wanted English Only, please let us know if you want an refund for that purchase

I am one of those affected by this. No worries though as it was still a good price for the upgrade.

@spwolf:

p.s. please let us know if it works - it should show both English and International under 80% upgrades now… Thanks!

Now it shows I am eligible for an 80% discount on the international version, but not the English version. When I click the Upgrade link for the English version, the price shown is $34.95 USD.

I am using PA2009 Standard is it worth upgrading for me to the Pro version if I am using vista as Vista uses Windows Mail and not Outlook and I use an FTP client allready called FlashFXP, or will it still be worth an upgrade to pro?

try it out and see… Most valuable thing for me would be Burner and Advanced Backup features… FTP Client is not there to replace standalone ftp applications, but an easy way to download, upload backups and whatever else you need to do quickly.

But PA 2009 Standard kicks azz too, and all of the basic compression features are in there.

I have also purchased the upgrade to pro for $6.98 for the English version. I live in Hazlet, NJ. The only feature I can’t use is the Outlook Plugin because I only have Windows Mail, not Outlook. Even after purchasing the upgrade to the Pro version I still don’t have PACL v5.0 in my account.

[H4ndy]

Same problem here, still cant see PACL 5 in my account. Or do the PACL 4 Reg-Codes still work?

I like to hear about the continued development of PA and purchased a 2009 Pro Licence (Yay, 80% off ^^) right away.

By the way, changing the international orders to Euro was nifty, very nifty. So I had to pay ~10.14 USD instead of 6.39 USD (or 6.39 EUR instead of 4.03 EUR). I hoped to take a good benefit of the weak USD course, but 10 EUR is not too expensive for this upgrade ^^

PACL5 will be avail. in account once it is out as final.

International versions have had their own pricing for past 3 years, this year we actually lowered it a bit compared to last. But most of us get paid in Euros so low USD is actually very bad for us.

But I can download v5b2. Anyway I figured out my PACL4 codes still work with this version, so theres no need to have it in account.

I allways thought ConeXware is a completly US-based corp until yesterday as I received the update notification for PA 2009. But so it’s fair to pay in EUR (which I have already done). Thanks for the info.

yeah, it does not make sense to list PACL beta separatly as it is free anyway to licensed users.

As to the USA, right now >70% of us work from Europe, even though ConeXware, Inc is California based company.

Bummer, all those ‘business trips’ to California ;). I guess somebody has to do it.

@spwolf:

As a part of this special limited time offer, all users will get free lifetime upgrades for their new orders.

hmm… i’m using pa since version 2002. and my bill states already:

1 : 1870PA002 : PowerArchiver 2002 Personal Lifetime License : Licenses : Key

so… how long is a lifetime considered to be… :confused:

---

just found that there is the option for the free update at the bottom of the code-list. so cheers and thanks again for the great program.

---

but i think that pa + outlook plugin is more than worth the $7, so i’ll start a new life today :)

br turas.

business customers from PA 2004 got 2 upgrades for free, which is the difference in this offer. Personal license customers always got free lifetime upgrades.

I’m a bit confused about the Outlook plug-in and PA 2009.

The Outlook plug-in is free for PA 2007 users. But when ordering PA 2009, you have to choose between Standard Edition or Pro Edition with Outlook Plug-in. Does this mean the Outlook plug-in only works with PA 2007 and PA 2009 Pro and not with PA 2009 Standard and thus now the Outlook plug-in became a Pro feature only?
