Re: Hi, how many user limits are there for the donation version!

I can see that although it is definitely a feature loss. I use a long script to periodically re-image our family computers with as much as possible automated. So, as I say, my workaround will be to be use FFS 12.5 with the /silent switch and then allow AutoUpdate per machine.

Re: Hi, how many user limits are there for the donation version!

Looks like the /silent install feature is no longer available for the Donation Edition! Will this be restored in 13.1?

Otherwise, the only sensible strategy is to keep a safe copy of v12.5 for silent installation purposes over several family PCs and then rely on AutoUpdate thereafter...

Re: Questions about the Donation Edition

Hmm ... if you go to the FFS Home Page and click your "Thank you" button, it shows a message at the bottom of the screen that "FreeFileSync is currently installed on X devices". So, is there a limit to the number of installs and what happens if you reinstall Windows and forget to...

Re: Questions about the Donation Edition

Will this cause activation problems if we re-install Windows without "releasing" FreeFileSync from that laptop?
