Unbelievable WinZip again installed an trail version. Not sure if the above information will help. I have heard from a few customers and have found that Vipre/AVG TuneUP/Kaspersky Internet Security will automatically update third party applications, including WinZip. It does no downloading and it does no installing.įor WinZip to be installed without your knowing, there would either have to be a group policy install in place or there would have to be another application installed that performs automatic upgrading of programs silently. If you don't, it lets you know that something new is available. All that does is to check records on the update server against what it finds in your registry to see if you have the latest version installed or not. The only feature in WinZip having to do with new versions is the Check for Updates feature. If you are finding a newer version of WinZip installed and you did not install it, I do not know for certain how it got there. WinZip states that they are not pushing the update out. Since it not a free updated, the "Version 23" license numbers does not work. Thus, the reason why the newly installed version is a "trial version". The update to WinZip version 24 is not a free update. In the previous reply, it was mentioned the following:

(see my image at the end of my reply to show what's needed, note, my image shows WinRar, not WinZip)įrom what I understand, Winzip is publishing announcements a new WinZip version is available, KTS, recognises the "announcement", offers (to you) to update WinZip, however, when the Winzip update is "managed" via KTS, the Winzip software that's "pushed" onto you machine, is Winzip "TRIAL" version, have I got that correct? search ? type in winver press enter, the popup display will show you the information.Ģ⃣ KTS info, open KTS application main window, choose ? (lower left hand corner) this opens Support window, the Support window will show the information.ģ⃣Please post an image of KTS showing WinZip update is available?Ĥ⃣ Please go to Windows, Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features - sort the list so WinZip is at the top of the list, take a screen print & post back with your reply.


Yes, sometimes things seem "hard" & complicated, but, we're here to help so please be assured we will do all we can.ġ⃣ Operating system info, from Windows start menu.I set KTS Software Updater on manual but it still installs newer "trial" version.

KTS premium, WinZip WinZip 21.5 Pro, premiumBut KTS updates to a newer WinZip version which is a trial version.
