Compaq

I'm still new to making DVDs but for AnyDVD, do I have to buy a new key for each version I get? I bought a key/license for AnyDVD 4.something. I didn't change any setting and it's all default. Everytime I start my comp I get a window asking if I want AnyDVD to check for a newer version. I've always declined until yesterday when I tried to backup my Hitch DVD. So I said yes on the popup and it took me back to Slysoft's site. It said that upgrading required dl'ing the newer version (which is 5.something). I did that and now I got kicked back to a 21 day trial.

Are licenses restricted to version numbers? (ie if you bought a license for 4.something it won't work for 5.something and higher versions?)

as far as i can see on slysofts site the license isnt version restricted,keep in mind many softwares keep registration info in the registry and when you uninstall a program that keeps its registration info in the registry it will likely be deleted,re-apply your license key it should work just fine,and if you dislike the autoupdate check just disable it from anydvd options its very likely that there is such an option

If you have purchased Anydvd, then all you need to do is download the newer version on top of the current version. Your license key will still be valid. I believe Anydvd has unlimited updates.

LOOPDOC

I believe that:
ANYDvD is a true SlySoft product, while CloneDvD and CloneCD are originally products of Elby in Switzerland. ANYDvD when purchased directly from SlySoft (in Antigua) carrys a perpetual license. Slysoft acquired CloneDvD and CloneCD from Elby (don't know when, but at least a year-ago.) If you purchased either from Elby, the products will probably expire, but PURCHASE THEM FROM Slysoft and the licenses are perpetual. I got this directly from Slysoft. The products are so fantastic that I will likely send some more $$$ in November, when the first year is up. Always upgrade versions when notified, as that is the only way to keep up with changes to copy protection. As soon as SlySoft discovers some new copy protection scheme, an upgrade to ANYDvD will be forthcoming shortly.

If you look on www.elby.ch you will see the only product that elaborate bytes now sell if CloneDVD2 - due to new european laws CloneCD went over to Slysoft. Olli the original writer of CloneCD has previously stated that as of yet Elby have never charged to update CloneDVD2 after 1 year -but they keep that option for future developments - if you look on the Slysoft web site, they also state that your CloneDVD2 update is only good for one year. I am sure there are many members on here that have had CloneDVD2 for over a year and never had to pay anything extra.

do you need to purchase more than one key to opperate more than one program. I have a laptop and desktop and I want to be able to run program on both

ricoman

Yes, I'm one. They haven't updated for a month or so, but it's been well over a year since I bought it and haven't been refused an update from Elby (yet). Bought AnyDVD from Slysoft.

I would imagine that if you intend to use both at the same time you would need 2 licences. Normally though most licences state that you can have it installed on more than one machine as long as you only use one at a time (i.e. 1 version on a machine at work, 1 version on a machine at home)

Is this beta version a 21 days trial version?

is there a user guide somewhere on the web as how to use ANYDVD ... i just downloaded it and have no clue how to use it....

Tru

See the little red fox in your task bar? If yes - all is well. Click on it, then "Help".

Minxyy

Ok.. please forgive me for being "dumb"... How do I copy a DVD with ANYDVD... the fox is red... my usual proccess is using DVD Decrypte or DVD FabExpress ...then DVDShrink to compress and then Nero to burn... i am having a problem with Madagascar and thought i would try ANYDVD ... do i just turn on nero and burn or copy dvd... there is no instructions in the help file of anydvd that tells me what to do next... just that it is running the background....

Tru

Use DVDShrink or elby CloneDVD to copy it. No further action is required.

reasonsnotrules

you don't copy a movie with anydvd. anydvd takes away the encryption in the background so you can use any program you want to copy it. if you have anydvd running it just makes whatever you'd normally do actually work. i use anydvd with dvdshrink but you can use any or all of the programs you listed although all that's really necessary is a program that will copy the files (even windows explorer will do once anydvd is running in the background)

i believe madagascar has something fish about it. people have sent the ifos to slysoft, but in the meanwhile, check out this thread that addresses madagascar: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=153787

there's somewhat of a workaround towards the bottom of that thread until slysoft figures out what's going on.

Minxyy

ok.. so anydvd is running... i insert dvd... then open nero and burn... thats it... if i remove the movie from the dvd drive then i cant burn it cause the files are not on my harddrive .... if i open shrink then i select backup from the D drive?.. i know... i just aint getting it.... sorry

Tru

Use elby CloneDVD2. It is very good suited for beginners, and it will guide you through all steps.

Minxyy

I used clonedvd2 and got the same error with madagascar... i have downloaded anydvd dvdfabexpress clonedvd2 and i have shrink and dvddecrypter and dvdfab.... still cant copy this dvd... thanks for the replys. i will continue to read the board for more info.

cafetimer

Ripped Madagascar last tuesday ( CloneDVD2 2.8.5.1, AnyDVD 5.5.1.1) without problems.

If that's the case, try doing a diskscan with cd/dvdspeed to see if the original is damaged and unreadable. The only time that happened to me it turned out to be a badly manufactured dvd, a whole batch in fact. 4 dvds of the same movie, it happens some time.

sparkeyben

I want to say that after finding this forum and doing days and days of reading on how to back up my DVD movies I choose AnyDVD and CloneDVD2. It works flawlessly. I backed up my copies of Batman Begins, Charlie and The Chochlate Factory, Stealth, and Devils Rejects no problem. Thank you to everyone who posts on cd freaks for helping me figure this out. I fully recomend AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 for anyone who is a beginner with no prior knolwdge of how to back up DVD movies. Thanks Again.

I downloaded a trial version down in August and I was not impressed with the software" I still had problems trying to copy the movie" So I let the trial version run out. My Step-Brother Purchased this newer version and he has had no problems burnnig some of the newer movies... I downloaded a new trial version a few days ago and installed it and it says " Trial version expired" Can anyone help me?

alex thyl

Yes. Uninstall completely AnyDVD from your system, delete the folder where AnyDVD was, clean the registry (Start > Run > type here regedit. In Registry Editor "Edit" > "Find" type here AnyDVD > delete the hits). Restart your computer, install AnyDVD Trial, reboot.

I did download the trial version of this, but I have no idea how to use it. Where are the tutorial pages? I can't find a "how-to" section on slyware website..... thanks

reasonsnotrules

if it's running then you're using it. it decrypts in the background.

use your favorite ripper/burning program/reauthoring program and you're ready to go. ( clonedvd reccomended)

all anydvd does is remove encryption so you can process the dvd with programs that either do not offer decyption features (like clonedvd) or have since ceased development (like dvd decrypter or dvdshrink).
