Step by step instructions on how to enter your software serial number

Licensing SyncBackPro

The Quick and Easy Guide to Licensing SyncBackPro

Open your order confirmation email that contains your serial number and highlight it. Do not try to manually enter the serial number as errors can easily be made.

Copy your serial number (hold "Ctrl" and "C"), then run SyncBackPro which will automatically paste it into the appropriate place. You then only need to click the "OK" button to license the program. Congratulations! SyncBackPro will now be licensed and the evaluation version unlocked.

SyncBackPro Licensees

A user that bought SyncBackPro without upgrading will have one serial number: a SyncBackPro serial number beginning SBPR.

SyncBackSE to SyncBackPro Upgrade Licensees

A user that upgrades from SyncBackSE will have two serial numbers: their SyncBackSE serial number (beginning SBSE) and a SyncBackPro upgrade serial number (beginning SBPU). SyncBackPro will recognize whether SyncBackSE is installed so most SyncBackSE licensees will only need to enter their SyncBackPro Upgrade serial number.

If you have purchased an upgrade license from SyncBackSE to SyncBackPro, but have uninstalled SyncBackSE, you will need to enter your original SyncBackSE serial in addition to your SyncBackPro upgrade serial. Note that SyncBackSE does not need to be installed to license the upgrade. You need only copy the SyncBackSE serial, then copy the SyncBackPro upgrade serial to license SyncBackPro.

Step By Step Licensing Instructions

SyncbackPro Licensees

If you are currently running the evaluation version, close down the program making sure it is not running in the background, and also that it does not have a schedule task that is about to commence.

When SyncBackPro first runs you will see the following window. Note how there is only one text field to paste your serial number:

The SyncBackPro serial number window

SyncBackPro automatically recognizes what serial number that is on the clipboard and will paste the appropriate serial number into the text field.

The following screenshot shows the single SyncBackPro serial number (not upgrade) entered into the text field:

Click OK and SyncBackPro will be licensed.

For SyncBackSE to SyncBackPro Upgrade Licensees

For those SyncBackSE licensees who have not uninstalled the program, the SyncBackSE serial number will be automatically entered into SyncBackPro.

If you have uninstalled SyncBackSE, locate both your SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro serial numbers, copy one of the serial numbers and SyncBackPro will show a dialog asking you to copy the other serial number into the remaining field.

Note in the screenshot below how the SyncBackSE serial automatically appears in a second text field if the serial number is detected. The SyncBackPro serial (either upgrade or full) then needs to be copied onto the clipboard and that will automatically be copied into the top field:

The window will now show both your SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro upgrade serial numbers:

Click OK and SyncBackPro will be licensed.

5 While keeping the "Ctrl" key pressed, press the "C" key.

6 Run SyncBackPro (the Serial number will be automatically pasted into the appropriate field):

Trouble Shooting

Issues to check if you are still having problems:

Ensure you have downloaded and installed the current version of SyncBackPro

The Serial Number may not have been copied to the clipboard successfully. Try again.

Ensure your system clock is showing the current date and time.

SyncBackPro is already validated. Go to the program "Help" > "About" menu item to check

Your system has blocked access to the clipboard. In that case, type it in carefully. Note that the letter “O” is not used – only zeros
