Partition Magic 8.0

Hello,

I can no longer activate Partition Magic 8.0.  The activation code does not work.  Partition Magic 8.0 will not make any changes unless it is activated.  Partition Magic 8.0 provides a phone activation function and phone number.  The phone number is USELESS, as the Norton customer service technicians refuse to help.  I paid good money for this product, and I should be able to use it when the need arises (no matter how old the product).  I'm not asking for TECHNICAL SUPPORT, I simply need to use the application that I paid for.

tfogerty,

 

Do you have PM floppies or a PM boot CD where you can run the app offline?

Thanks for the speedy reply!

 

I have the installer as a file on HDD. 

 

That is the way it was downloaded after purchase.

Use Parted Magic 2012.07.13. It's up to date and free.

That doesn't sound good. Can you make boot media?

The insatller works fine, as it did for years after I purchased it.  It came a zip file with Boot Magic and DataKeeper included in the purchase.  PM8.0 installs without any problem, but it only functions in DEMO mode without activation.  I suppose I could seek an alternative, but why should I as I PM8.0 is a purchased retail version?
