Activating Upgrades and Plug-ins

The program is distributed as one installation package which is common for all editions. During the trial period, you can use all of the features without any limitations. After registration, the features you can use are defined by your registration number. See Features of Different Editions for more details.

After registration, features that are not available in your edition will stop working.

For example, if you registered the program with a number for Standard edition, all tasks that use plug-ins of the Professional and Small Business editions will end with an Error status. Attempts to use the respective options in New Task Wizard will fail.

To add new features to a registered copy of Handy Backup, there is no need to install any additional software or patches. You need to upgrade your current registration number and re-register the software. General scheme is as follows:

1. Order the respective upgrade via the product website, or by contacting our support or sales team.
2. When your registration number is updated in the registration database (this generally takes no longer than 10 minutes), re-register the program to activate the new features.

The easiest way to upgrade the program to a higher edition is to order the respective upgrade on the product website. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Upgrades page on the product website: www.handybackup.net/order-upgrades
2. In the bottom of the page, find the upgrade you need.
