I just tried my older version 7.8 of this on my Vista server and after update check it promptly popped up a software counterfeiting warning window that on dismissing it the program closed … I know that was obtained from a legitimate giveaway on giveawayoftheday and was in no way counterfeit. Hopefully (though net desperately hopeful) this new version will be compatible with Vista like it says on their website … though I’ve never had a reason to use it in anger due to no data loss that I’d need a file recovery program for… Sadly doyourdata product page stating Vista compatibility is a lie and oddly Ashraf got it right this time! I was able to reinstall 7.8 from my archives but the original giveaway license failed to activate BUT THIS giveaway license did activate version 7.8 so is not version locked to this giveaways version.
