Enter license
Note:
In order to activate the product after installation or to gain access to the Full Version at a later time, you must possess a valid license key. This license key is also called a registration code, serial number, or product ID.
The dialog for registration always appears automatically at the start to guide you if you are using an unregistered version or have entered the registration code incorrectly.
The registration wizard allows for a simple registration process.
When you select the option I want to enter my license, a dialog box will appear where you can enter the registration code you received when purchasing the software.
- If you have purchased the download version of the software, please enter the license information ("Name", "Company" and License key), just as they are written in the confirmation E-Mail you received.
- If you have purchased the box version of the software, please enter the license key as it is written on the license card included. In addition, please enter your name and if needed your company.
- Please make sure that you do not confuse the digit “1” with “I” or enter any empty spaces where they don’t belong.
- Press Next to save the registration data or Cancel to leave the dialog window without saving the data.
- When you have correctly entered the license code you will receive a confirmation in the dialog window.
Should you run into any problems when entering your registration code, please contact our Support Team.
You can test O&O DiskImage for 30 days free of charge and with no obligation. The remaining trial period will be displayed each time you start the program.
If you would like to implement O&O DiskImage in your company or as a technician for your customers, then please contact our resellers or distributors.

Updates
O&O DiskImage automatically checks if your program version is a current one or if a newer version is available.
Under Tools/About O&O DiskImage you can see your license data and the number of your program version.
So-called "Minor Updates" (Version 19.0 to 19.1, 19.2, etc.), where smaller changes in the program have been made, are free. "Major-Updates", such as from version 19 to 20, must generally be purchased.
If you are using O&O DiskImage from a network and performing a major update, you will need to copy the password file if you want to use the automatic authentication. After a full installation and the restart, you will need to place the password file in the O&O DiskImage default folder. After restarting, the password management has to be started and the password has to be entered for the password file. As a result, the required initializations will be run and automatic authentication can continue to be possible.
