Copy Nero programme?

K

KopyKat

I have been trying to copy my Nero Suite onto a disc
but can only copy the shortcut it seems.
Is there a way to do this - any advice please?

It won't work, it has to be installed from the original media to function,
so stop trying.

You have to have the install cd or the zip file. You can't copy it off your
computer unless you know where all the files to it are stored and even if
you did you don't know how to put it back.

There is no need - you can download it from the Nero site.

The updates are actually the full Monty, but of course you need a valid key.
Which I assume you've got.

Thanks for replies. I was hoping to be able to copy, but thought it
might be a no-no. :(

The programme was installed for me by my 'PC Man' when I had my pc
cleared and rebooted a few months ago.
So no, I don't have any key number and cannot get it from him as the
poor man died a couple of months ago.

I actually told him I wasn't bothered about having it installed but he
said I would probably find it useful.
He was right - I think it is a great programme and don't know how I
managed without it.

I will look at Nero site. Thanks.

Download it from Nero site.
If doing an update it doesn't need a serial no.
Get Belarc Advisor, it will show you the serial No. for the currently
installed Nero, use this to install the new one.

You should BUY the latest version, since your "PC Man" stole
it for you.

Not true. If the OP has version 6, then downloading version 7 will require
a new serial number.

Let's see, you want to download a program that costs ~ $80 US at site that
requires you to send your email address to get a link to the actual download
site, and expect to get the program free? If this doesn't raise any
concerns on your part, you are better off not using the Internet, because
sooner rather than later your chickens will come home to roost.

And for god's sake use a newsreader to post to Usenet newsgroups; the web
interface you use is broken.

Thanks Phil Weldon. That is the sort of information I was hoping for
- I haven't actually done anything except look at that site and then
posted on here.

As you can gather I am new to computers, that is why I ask these silly
questions :(

What you need to learn is not specific to computers. It is 'there's no such
thing as a free lunch'. By trying for the 'deal that is too good to be
true' you are opening yourself to pay all sorts of other costs: malware
infection, identity theft, zombification (your system used as a remote
controlled spam spewer, rented out by the Russian 'mafia'), eternal spam,
legal action, or at best, wondering when the other shoe will drop.

There is legitimate freeware that has been vetted for security; try that
route if you don't want to pay. And paying for a type of product is no
guarantee - rogue software is out there that takes your money and keeps on
taking.

Thus my advice, which you consider 'unfriendly'. Don't be so thin-skinned
if you expect to learn; 'Jim Macklin' only stated the truth - your 'computer
man' DID steal the software he installed on your system. If you paid for
that installation, then he stole from you also. Don't operate in the same
fashion he did.

A newsgroup like this has a sort of 'peer review'; if bad advice is given,
then quite a few knowledgeable people will post a corrective response.

You've gotten seven responses in this thread, six contained correction
information, one was incorrect, and it was pointed out as incorrect almost
immediately. Consider that helpful, learn from it, and continue to post
(and please switching to a news reader instead of your current, broken, web
interface supplied by your ISP. If you need help in that, your ISP should
be able to help you set up Outlook Express as your newsreader. Later on you
might wish to switch to a more powerful newsreader.
