using email to distribute license keys is fraught with trouble as it’s usually script generated email that do not include all the attributes that an email sent from a genuine email client program and many email servers or even SMTP relays nowadays silently drop such emails as likely script generated spam.
I have 4.14 of this from a previous giveaway that was auto-activated and did not require an additional key… while I’d prefer to have the less unnecessary writes to storage for the sake of my SSD longevity… I’d rather wait for something that has genuinely public beta tested BEFORE I trust my extensive allmynotes database to it.
I also not that on their website they state:
“System requirements: Windows XP and all higher versions – 11/10/8/7/Vista/XP, compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Works under Linux and Mac (WineHQ-like environment required).”
Whether that is still true, your guess is as good as mine since it’s been built with a new SDK for better windows 11 compatibility.
It is NOT true… I just downloaded the portable edition of 4.16 and it is built for NT 6.0 (vista and above so will NOT work with XP. AND it’s not truly portable as I just ran the portable 4.16 under my Vista server and it went through the first run wizard and opened up to a blank database but when I closed it down and tried to run 4.14 that was working on the system just fine it is now broken! complaining about:
“Error: File signature is missing or incorrect for the file C:\Program Files\AllMyNotes.exe. Please re-download the application from https://www.allmynotes.org/”
Fact that files digital signature is just FINE! no files have been modified in the installed 4.14 directory today… No idea what vlad has done but it’s NOT GOOD! Of course I cannot go and re-download 4.14 installer and re-install it as it was a special unofficial beta build for that giveaway only. Still investigating what is going on…
