For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.
Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Licencing question
-
Hello.
I’ve a little unclarity. In Licence, 2.2 it’s stated: “After you have registered, you may personally use the Software on one or more computers, or allow multiple persons to non-simultaneously use the Software on a single computer, but not both.” Does it means I can buy only one licence for both my computers at home? Second usualy uses my wife. And what about my notebook? I’m the only user of it. Thanks. -
@Ren:
Does it means I can buy only one licence for both my computers at home? Second usualy uses my wife. And what about my notebook?
I don’t work for Conexware but my understanding is that the key wording is “non-simultaneously”.
Only one license is required for all 3 computers - IF you can be sure that only one (PowerArchiver - not one computer) is being used at any time.
So, if your wife never uses PowerArchiver then you only need one license. However if she does use PowerArchiver, you should ensure that you do not use it at the same time.
My guess is that you could not be sure, so you would probably need two licenses - one for you and one for your wife. Then PowerArchiver can be used by either of you whenever needed (e.g. your wife at home while you are out with the laptop).
-
TBGBe> So I can forbid using to her… :D
No, seriously. She mostly plays WoW or surf the web so there’s very small probability we run PA both at once. And what if I’m working on notebook and destop simultaneously and accidentaly run PA on both? Is it violation of Licence? Is it crime? :) I must say I’m usualy a bit confused from licence agreements and this one isn’t different.
-
We give you freedom so you can choose if you want to license per computer/seat or per person.
If you want to license it per computer, then multiple people can use it at the same computer.
If you want to license it per specific individual, then you can use it on multiple computers as long as you are the ONLY person using it.
You can not mix and match different licensing options, you pick one and thats it. None of the licenses are concurrent licenses.
-
Ah, got it…So when I purchase per user Licence and install it on my wife’s PC but I’ll be only user (e.g. PA will be installed only in my profile) is everything alright?
-

Hello, I really would like to buy PA, but first I have to clarify my licence problem ;)
@ admin
You said that I can choose between a licence per computer/seat or per person. Is this option still up to date? I dont know where to choose this, there is only the possibility to choose between personal and business licence.
Is it allowed to use this personal licence on more than 1 computer non-simultaneously (of course only by myself)?
-
Yes. Just use it that way, there is nothing to select.
thanks
-
Thank you very much :)

Thats handy to know. I have a couple of colleagues who are waiting for the outlook addin to be updated for outlook 2007 before they buy and they were planning to get 2 licences each (one of their laptop and one for their desktop). They will only have to buy one each if I read that correctly.

yep… as long as they are only ones using it, that is correct…
