I installed Everest on first computer and it asked for key, then transferred files to external HD, then to second computer and when I ran Everest on second computer, it did not ask for key.
This is acting like a portable app. Does anyone know what is going on with this?
The Software key worked.
Thanks!
Wow, brilliant software too. IMO, better than Belarc too.
@Mynard: Well it doesn’t install but rather just unzips so I think it IS a portable app. Since you mention being able to take it to another computer without it asking for registration, chances are the registration information is stored directly in the program rather than the computer registry.
@thebluejay: Welcome.
@Al Hall: Glad to see it works and you are enjoying it =).
Ashraf: thanks for posting consent re the code. . . and:
Mynard: many thanks for providing the darn thing — something cropped up here which meant I’ve had to deal with other stuff and have only now been able to return to dot tech.
Al: glad you’re enjoying it!
Great to see the Dot Tecchers’ community spirit here — Ashraf set the tone for this Comments board and I hope he’s pleased at the way a generosity of spirit prevails!
@MikeR: And thank you for being such a great participate of this great community =).

@Eli: Eli I am sorry but I still don’t understand what you are trying to say.
Ashraf,sorry,got Mynard’s posted P key but w/ several dnlds & separate installs the “Enter Product Key-Everest” window accepts it but the “OK” button is greyed-out such that I can’t click on it to activate the product registration,therefore iam.stuck w/ a 30-day TRIAL version. My Berry tether to my lapyop Sprint s/w couldn’t operate all week so I had to do a Berry dnld then connect &install to program fIles then I had trouble getting more then 3 or 4 words to type in Ur window & I messed up the 2nd one not knowing if I had a good send until the redundancy flag came up…sorry. I think the Blackberry zip is ok. I even did a godawful power reset several times with no success on this “OK” button…all I can click on is “x”& “CANCEL” Iam all OK’d out.Any ideas?
@Eli: Wait are you trying to install it on your Blackberry? I think that may be the problem.
Oh, no, Ashraf,bbs only accept BB s/w as U no. I reach end of Win install & I can’t click on registration “OK” button to register the prog so I hav a 30-day prog.Several installs from several separate dnlds & anomaly still exists. My BB is only used as a wideband T-modem 2 get rid of that awful, continually degrading landline…good riddance! I say. The dnld is done directly 2 the laptop via BB as a WB tethered-modem w/ install afterwards on the Win 2:39:48 AM…What? This Berry is spooky as einstein $ Tesla…I meant 2 type LP, not the time.What hotkey can I depress 2 activate the OK 4 registration? Beautiful prog;av se veral books $ s/w 2 do Win 3.1 $ Win95 4 what tis one prog does…hate 2 miss out on it. Keep up the vigil if that’s Ur calling; Ur good, astute, apparently quick-minded…did I see a physics section on black holes last posting;can’t find it anymore;wanted 2 visit it,am working personally on a propulsion theory totally sci-fi in concept…sorryN off-topic.but this “OFF” button…thnx.
P.s. My macine is XP sp2 ok 4 this prog$runs well,won’t register.

@Eli: Did you get the issue fixed? Sorry I can’t be of much help.
@Liam K: Thanks :).
@RoseD1st: You are welcome!
@-Talan-: You are welcome =).
@Darthyoda: Thanks for the update. I guess they are the same promos at the core.
Hi,
Downloaded OK but not installing on Win7 Ultimate; getting “extended attributes are inconsistent” error. Help!
I just got this app without any problem by following to the book. Thanks a lot, Ashraf. Keep up the good work.
Hi all dottechies, I got this Ulimate 4.6 edition promo on July from pro.de. The code key is exactly like Mynard (#25) told us. So I guess this code key is the one that has been given away for everyone (mean: no free upgrade I guess, but a discount price if U want to upgrade to the latest version).
So enjoy everyone, this one absolutely great software and legal too :)
Haha! Ashraf, this is weird! I got every one of the above comments in my
Mailbox except the one U posted here above & holloween is past!
