I am scared to use 12.5 SP1 in case the problem of consolidating Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8 system files as you so sucessfully did with XP as a long time user. Kindly reply
Hi Daniel. I’ve alerted customer support to help you out with this. You should be hearing from them shortly.
Meant, of coursem SP3
very good//the top!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m running build 290, and whenever I select ‘Check Updates’ it ALWAYS tells me I’m running the latest version, either with the startup screen or Help/check.
Help.
You are running PD 12. Our new release, PD 12.5 is a completely different build, like a new version, so you need to download PD 12.5: http://ftp.raxco.com/pub/download/pd12.5/pd12.5_pro.exe. I did a little research and I see you are qualified for a free upgrade to 12.5 since you own PD 12. I notified customer support and they will email you your new key shortly (old keys will not work with the new build).
I have the same problem. Is there a number I should call?
Hi Javin, I see you qualify for an upgrade for the Pro license bundled with your Home Server license. I sent a request to customer service to send you your key. Download PerfectDisk 12.5 Pro and you’ll be on the free trial until they respond to your request tomorrow the latest. Download the free trial here: http://www.raxco.com/home/home-professional.aspx Once you input the key we provide, the “Getting Started” email series will stop.
Does it make any practical sense to migrate from PD10 to 12.5? My mantra is “if it works, don’t fix it” If so, what is the dollar hit?
Between PerfectDisk 10 and PerfectDisk 12.5, you missed the addition of OptiWrite for fragmentation prevention before it even occurs, StealthPatrol automatic background defragmentation, enhanced SMARTPlacement optimization strategy, SSD Optimize to consolidate free space on SSDs, additional flexible scheduling options, faster drive analysis and defrag of up to multi-TB drive size to name a few new features! An upgrade to PD 12.5 Pro is $19.99 for PD 10 owners.
If you do decide to go for a upgrade to 12.5, remember to install the new version of PerfectDisk over your old install. You must download the new version for the new key to work.
I’m too am running build 290, and whenever I select ‘Check Updates’ it ALWAYS tells me I’m running the latest version,
Also the offline system file defrag does not seem to consolidate them as it used to.
Please Help.
Hi Ronald, Your email provider must have blocked the email we sent you in December with the new download link and new key for 12.5. 12.5 was really a new version and a new build, despite it being “mid” version. You must download 12.5 from the website and I will have customer service send you your new key. Download the new version here, over your old version: http://www.raxco.com/home/home-premium.aspx The new key will only work with the new download.
