Registration - How to change a Demo Version to a Full Version

PentaWare programs are all sold as Shareware.

Our programs need a Serial Number (also called Registration Code or License Key) to become "Full" versions. You will receive your Serial Number from PentaWare when you purchase your license. Large Installations need to organize the logistics of distribution and this gets done together with PentaWare's sales staff.

Until this Serial Number has been inserted, each program will be a 15 day Demo and a screen similar to the one below will appear each time any PentaWare program will start.

Once the 15 day trial period is over, you will still be able to use PentaZip or PentaSuite for ZIP archives (zipping and unzipping) and for limited viewing using Notepad.

In some cases, PentaWare will issue an extension License allowing the trial period to go beyond the standard of 15 days from initial installation. For more information concerning trial period extensions please write to Licenses@pentazip.com.

Where to get a Serial Number/Registration Code

If you have downloaded and purchased one of our products from one of our authorized sites you'll receive your Serial Number together with the purchase receipt via email from PentaWare. 

If you purchased a boxed version of a PentaWare product you'll find your Serial Number on the registration card included in the CD distribution package. 

What to do with the Serial Number/Registration Code

Once you have received your Serial Number, you can register your PentaWare product. This can be done by either clicking on the Registration button located on the reminder screen shown above or by selecting PentaSuite Configuration [respectively PentaZip Configuration, if you are using this product] from the Options and Web Site menu pane of PentaWare Manager: 

This will open the Program Configuration window. This window can also be accessed using the PentaSuite/PentaZip Configuration item on the Options menu within a currently opened PentaSuite/PentaZip program. 

Next select Registration from the table of contents located on the left side of that window to open the registration pane.

On the registration pane insert your Serial Number (by copying/pasting or typing it manually) in the corresponding input field: 

Once you have inserted the number, press the button located next to the input field to finish the registration process. Your program will then be fully licensed, what can be told from the modified license type and status information shown on the registration screen.
