Paragon Software Group Coupons & Promo Codes

Complete waste. Can't even install this on a brand new Mac Mini M4. The setup gets stuck on an instruction screen and using the app is impossible. Don't throw your money away on this.

Purchased their Linux Fs for Windows software but never got around to using it. When I finally tried to install and activate it, activation wouldn't go through. Sent three requests for help and got no responses. For personal use their products are questionable anyway, but if you need them for work, forget about it. Super unreliable.

Spent an hour trying to get this installed with nothing to show for it.

The actual software is solid, but the customer support ruins everything. In 2022 there were issues with their new license portal. Fast forward to 2025 and we're dealing with the same problem again. Back then you could at least get support responses. Now getting a reply is basically impossible. I'm supposed to get a free upgrade but can't find my keys anywhere and can't get anyone to help. A new license isn't expensive, but I won't buy from a company where reaching support is this hard. There are competitors who actually care about customers. Even though some of their products are decent, I'd never recommend this company. They're going to lose their remaining customers soon.

The product wasn't right for what I needed. I submitted three separate support tickets over three weeks ago and haven't gotten a single response. No product help. No customer service. Paragon made all kinds of support promises before I paid, took my money, and broke every single one. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

We paid for two licenses of their Linux software. Then they switched their licensing system and our paid software stopped working. It's ridiculous. I won't be buying from them again and I'm telling everyone I know to avoid them.

Used their free edition for years without issues. Downloaded the Community Edition on my partner's computer, everything worked great including test restores, so I bought the full version. Problem is, I couldn't activate it because no instructions came with it. Support never replied to my ticket either. Asked for my money back and got approval refunded to my account.

Purchased an NTFS for Mac license but couldn't get it activated. Opened a support ticket and waited over 60 hours without hearing back from anyone.

Got hammered with unwanted emails so I shut down the account. Didn't think much of it until later when I bought an NTFS for Mac license from Paragon claiming it was a lifetime deal. When I upgraded from Big Sur to Sequoia this year, I found I needed to enter my registration key but couldn't log in because I lost the password and couldn't reset it without the old email. I called Paragon thinking they'd help switch it to my current email. Nope. They said I'd have to pay again. That's their idea of a lifetime guarantee. Don't fall for their promises like I did.

Honestly wish I could give zero stars. I installed Paragon software on my Surface Book to read a Mac drive. After installation it needed a restart. The laptop never booted again after that restart. Something in the boot registry got corrupted and I couldn't fix it no matter what. I had to use another computer to create a bootable USB to reinstall Windows, and I lost everything in the process.

Used Partition Manager Community Edition on Windows 10 and it did the trick. My USB drive wasn't being recognized by Windows after I'd used some cloning software that broke the partition table. Registration took some effort, but once I got going the software performed beautifully. It's really functional and user friendly.

Tested the Partition Manager Community Edition on my Windows 10 PC. Had a USB drive that Windows wouldn't recognize after using some disk cloning software that apparently messed with the partition table. The sign-up process was a bit annoying, but the software itself worked amazingly. Really powerful and straightforward to operate.

Bought a lifetime license for NTFS for Mac and it mysteriously vanished from my account. When I contacted their support, instead of fixing it they offered me 30% off to repurchase the software, as though my lifetime license meant nothing. This is wrong. I paid for something and now I can't use it. Don't buy from them unless you're willing to lose what you've already purchased.

Got an NTFS for Mac license thinking it was permanent based on their website wording. Had trouble after a macOS update and needed to reinstall. That's when things got bad. Two years later, my account and license info were just deleted like I never existed. Support sends outdated versions that don't work with current macOS. They keep telling you another team will help but that never happens. This is their standard way of doing business, not an unusual case. I'm done with them because there's nothing stopping them from deleting my account again in a few months. No honesty, just questionable practices. I'd suggest trying other options instead.

The backup tool is seriously flawed. Can't move files, no notes feature, constantly says it's validating something and runs incredibly slow, completion time estimates are way off, the language is confusing and awkward, you can't restore if that backup job already exists, and it straight up failed to write the backup after hours of processing even though it said everything was done successfully.
