Re: coflicts when real and sort order seems to be canged
I believe the reason for your errors is that you have overlapping directories between the 2 pairs. Likewise, as you are running a single .ffs_real, it is expecting that all your listed drives are available (at the same time). If you were to set up 2 separate .ffs_real's, & have them both running ...

Re: coflicts when real and sort order seems to be canged
(In the .ffs_real, it looks like all the source directories are listed, first, followed by all the associated corresponding pair directories.
So in that respect your .ffs_real would be correct.)

Re: Install runtime error
Have you had earlier versions of FFS running successfully (so prior to 13.0)?
Do you have UAC disabled?
What are system requirements for FFS?
Might you be missing a "package" like .NET that might be needed?

Re: Where does the exported file list go?

Re: saving the license key for use offline
I don't think it is any of that (which you are describing). Simply that the licensing is in part computed & verified (locally ?) based upon the MAC address. (That is not atypical. Other softwares may use a HDD's volume serial number, or a combination of both...) (Now, I think ? FFS also keeps a ...

Take a small sample file, say a .jpg. Copy that to the SSD using FFS. Does that file open? If not, compare the source & the copy.

Re: Unable to access network shares in Linux
In the Windows version of FFS I can access the network shares via the UNC Path. e.g. \\nas\share1 (From my take, & not that I know, but) it appears that in Linux you would use an ip-address rather then "NAS"? So maybe \\192.168.2.1\rosede ? (And of course, the IP & name would need to be correct.)

Curious.
If you run HOSTNAME from a C: prompt, does that show ASUS-VIVIOBOOK-S14 or ASUS-VIVIOBOOK- ?
C:\> HOSTNAME
(Seems the maximum length can be >15, but certain features, like NETBIOS may not work as expect with longer length names.)

You did hint to it before, but I've forgotten.
And you can't "search" for them.
Even if there were a mouseover that would help the forgetful.
