@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 :)

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?

If you purchased PA 2007 or any previous version of PA, PAOP will work with every version of PA 2009 and every future version of PA.

If you purchased PA 2009, PAOP will work with Pro version only.

I hope that explains it.

thanks!

Hello Everyone,

just to keep everyone updated - final version will be released next week most likely.

We will keep the upgrade discounts for 2 weeks after we release final release. Translations are coming up as well, and will be released as soon as they are done (English and German are done by us, others will be released as they are sent to us).

thanks!

Big thanks to all of our users. Many, many have upgraded to Pro version and liked its features.

As promised, we are extending this special offer for next 2 weeks, it will end October 10th.

Here is new thread created for that offer specifically:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3358

As PA 2009 is officially released, this thread will be closed. Translations are coming soon (all should come within month), and of course, this is not end of PA 2009. Those who have been with us for a long time now (10 years!!!) know that we will have at least 4-5 updates before PA 2010, a lot of them being feature updates so please continue writing on wish list and reporting bugs.

We have some pretty big new features planned for next 6 months and you guys WILL LOVE THEM.

Once again thanks everyone!
