Installing and Registering - 图1

Installing and Registering - 图2

Enter Registration info

  • When the “Register PowerArchiver” dialog appears, you have 2 options - you can use Online registration or Offline registration by clicking on their perspective tabs in upper left part of the window.

  • Online Registration - (RECOMMENDED!) - Online registration uses your PowerArchiver Select activation code (3 characters) and email to pull your PowerArchiver codes from our servers. It works with every version of PowerArchiver as long as you are online and your PowerArchiver Select maintenance plan is active. This is by far the easiest way to register PowerArchiver and keep it registered with every major update as long as Select is active.

  • Offline Registration - Offline registration uses Registration Name and Registration Code (long) to register your specific version of PowerArchiver. Please copy and paste both from your registration email and make sure your installed version matches version information from your email (e.g. PowerArchiver 2017 codes will register PowerArchiver 2017).

  • Once entered, click “OK ” to register PowerArchiver. Please note that PowerArchiver will always accept codes and that code checks happens once you actually start PowerArchiver again - if codes are not accepted, nag screen will appear again. If codes are accepted, nag screen will be removed and PowerArchiver will remove all unregistered notices.

  • Run As Admin - try running PowerArchiver as administrator by right clicking on PowerArchiver icon and selecting Run As Admin. This is applicable to Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Then enter your registration codes.
