>”Install link download the folder but did not installed automatically. I had to go to downloaded folder, extracted the file and clicked the setup. The opening screen with logo just hangs and do not proceed further. Had to end task through task manager. Tried many time. No luck. If there is a way out, please suggest.”
That may have been a problem early on, but on 2020-09-02, I was able to download (key is displayed on download page, plus it arrives in an e-mail) the file, which is a ZIP file. Make sure you extract all of the contents of that ZIP file, and place them in a regular folder. A simple way to do this is to open the ZIP file (double-click), select all (Ctrl+A), then copy to the clipboard (Ctrl+C), then use the Backspace key to step up (out of the Zip file), then you can paste what you can have copied to the clipboard into the folder you are now in (Ctrl+V), or move to any other folder and do the paste (Ctrl+V). Just make sure you have all of the files from the ZIP file together (or it will not work).
When you have all files accessible, double-click the setup file. Right after agreeing to the license, you will get a prompt to install the C++ Redistributables (based on its determination that you do not have them). Let the setup install them or it will not work. A lot of people think they already have them but the setup does the check the correct way Microsoft dictates. It does not matter if you think you already have them or not, let the setup install them (even if you did already have them, it will not hurt to install them a second time). If the setup program determines that you already have them installed, you shouldn’t get prompted at all. Regardless, it takes only a few seconds to get past that part.
Proceed through the remaining steps until you get to the activation page asking if you want to activate via the Internet or by e-mail. Either way, Soft Xpansion needs to know what the hardware key is for your computer. They will send the 16-digit key to their servers to activate the program. You will need to enter the 8-digit license key that was displayed to you on the download page and also sent to you in an e-mail. When the program has been activated, you will be told.
Next, Soft Xpansion wants you to reboot your computer. This is to ensure the Microsoft components are all connected and working. In most cases, the program will work whether you reboot or not. If anything does not work, then do a reboot and try again.
The program does seem to do what it claims. Of all the other products claiming the same or similar features, I have to say this one looks pretty nice. Personally, I am a PDF X-Change fan, but I will keep this one around for a while to check it out in every possible way. It is worth the effort to try to get it installed and activated. Nothing compares to experiencing it yourself.
