The second entry in the "Agent 8" dropdown is "Buy Agent 8".

form 7 to 8

Where you put in the name of the person and serial number comes back
with "we have a problem contact support"

You pretty much "buried the lead" on that.

Are you sure you're eligible for an upgrade from 7 to 8? To be
eligible you must have Agent 7.2 purchased after Dec 24, 2013.
Otherwise you need to buy a NEW Agent 8.

No I think I have mislead all of you

I have the version 7 with Lic key

I want to upgrade it to version 8

I can buy a new key for $19 ( NOT FREE UP GRADE) OR buy full version

BUT where do I go on the site to get a NEW key for version 8 OR do I just put a new key into my old
version and it upgrade it to version 8

I just cannot find out how to get the new key

1. Did you contact support, or did you wait for something more to
happen on that page?

2. If you followed the "contact support" link, which of the
"Contact Us" options did you use?

3. Have you also tried Agent's "Post support question via email" to
ask for support in buying an upgrade?

Your posts about "ver 8" were posted into the middle of an unrelated thread,
as shown on these web site copies of this newsgroup

That is because you used the "Reply" or "Follow up" button to start your

Are you sure? Not all Ver 7 releases are eligible for the $19 upgrade.
As I said before, you have to have ver 7.2 (that's SEVEN POINT TWO,
not just plain 7) bought AFTER Dec 24, 2013 to get the $19 upgrade,
otherwise you need to purchase a new copy of Ver 8.

>BUT where do I go on the site to get a NEW key for version 8 OR do I just put a new key into my old

A new key doesn't turn Ver 7 into Ver 8.

>I just cannot find out how to get the new key

You simply aren't going to answer the questions that determine whether
you're eligible for a reduced cost upgrade, are you? So I suggest you
buy a new FULL copy of Version 8. Here's how to do it.

Go to https://www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php and download a copy
of Agent 8. It will be good for a 30-day trial unless you buy a new
registration key for it.

To buy a key, go to https://www.forteinc.com/agent/order-form.php and
pay $29 for that new FULL copy and if you've entered a valid email
address correctly, Forte will email a key to you to make the 30-day
trial permanent. If you don't receive a new key fairly quickly, look
in your spam folder.

When you get the new key, write it down legibly and put it in a safe
place. Triple check that you've written it down correctly. Make sure
you can tell "0" (the number zero) from "O" (the letter "oh").

Install Agent 8 if you haven't already installed it.

Enter the new key in Agent. Do that by clicking "Help" and then look
for something about a registration key. Enter it carefully and double
or even triple check before clicking to enter it.

You're on your own when it comes to setup. It should work right from
the start if you install it over the older Ver 7.

I've upgraded and installed new versions a number of times with no
problem, but a wise person will back up anything he doesn't want to
lose before installing over the top of an existing installation.

Good luck.

Yes I will do that , I have got the version 7.2 installed on my other computer

How I read it was if you bought it AFTER Dec 24, 2013 you got a FREE version
BUT if not and you had lic key you good upgrade to version 8 for $19

Thanks for the detailed info anyway.

Still NOTHING back from Forte

That doesn't appear to be the case. The upgrade page
<https://www.forteinc.com/agent/upgrade.php> says: "As a registered
user of any Agent version, you are entitled to a reduced-cost $US
19.00 upgrade to the current Agent version." The way I read that is
that if I wanted to upgrade my registered 1.93, I'd qualify for the
$19 price.

The upgrade form <https://www.forteinc.com/agent/upgrade-form.php>
suggests that the OP is correct (in a subsequent post) in that, "If
you purchased Agent 7.2 (new or upgrade order) on or after December
24th, 2013 you are considered a registered Agent 8.0 user and
entitled to a free Agent 8.0 upgrade."

It's called a signature. You can have as many as you like.

Tools / Options / Posting Messages / Signatures

People use them for various reasons. Sometimes to advertise a cause, sometimes
it's a famous quote they identify with, etc. Traditionally no more than 2 or 3
lines at most.

I looked at it, but couldn't figure it out.
All I had to do was to click first on the add box to get it working.
Thanks for shaking my brain a little bit more awake.

I've used Agent for 15 years, always the newest version at the time. and
Agent has been very reliable for binary and text newsgroups. I do find
it hard to imagine why anyone would use it for email, though. If a
newsgroup reader is what anyone wants, Agent is a good choice, but do
not use it for posting binary files as there are better tools that are
free for that purpose.

Here's the thing, though, I've used Agent since it became a
commercial product--version 1.something. That goes back to win31,
wfwg and dialup. I purchased Agen8 to replace v1.92, running under
Win xp, when I acquired a more competent computer and "upgraded" to
Windows 10. Both have been disappoinments: Windows, because the
interface has been dumbed down, presumably for semi-literate persons
while Agent has, IMO, become needlessly complex to configure and to
use and is demonstrably unreliabe in day-to-day use. For example:
Entire messages simply disappear into nothingness or are replaced by
gibberrish and the fine Fortefolks have been aware of this behavior
for at least four years. I'm back to v.1.9 on the xp dog because it
still works; it's just old and slow, thats all. Plus it doesn't ring
that annoying bell....

1.93 works fine on Win10, if that would be easier for you. I needed
to "upgrade" to 10 because none of the browsers that supported the
old OSes also supported the new security protocols.

I've used it since version 1.1 (e.g. more than 15 years) and concur
with everything you've said both pro and con.

Well, the "--" is really --(space) and it is a to well-behaved

ANd you are correct. From the Forte site:
As a registered user of any Agent version, you are entitled to a
reduced-cost $US 19.00 upgrade to the current Agent version. Once you
pay the upgrade fee, you are entitled to free minor upgrades for that
release stream.

I've had Agent since the first version and the latest version has
always been an upgrade fee if you have ANY licensed verion.

No accounting for taste. I pretty much use Agent mostly for email, as
well as for text usenet Let's you preview in plain text and hasn
excellent massage management tools. For usenet binaries , I have
found better tools that Agent.
