"Free version requires registration."
Version: Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 12.0
Pros
Don't know. See summary.
Cons
Don't know. See summary.
Summary
As EB_Jar stated, product key and serial number are required for this free version, which you could get, I think, by going to the registration link listed in the dialog box. I did not register. Yes I agree, FAIL.

"I have NEVER had a single issue with this program"
Version: Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 12.0
Pros
I originally got Partition Manager several years ago and have successfully used ver 9 and now I tried the free edition. I have used it on a number of Toshiba laptops for myself and my college age kids, and yesterday on my new PC I just built. I have NEVER had a single issue with this program. It creates or re-sizes every partition I have ever asked it to do. It has never lost or corrupted my data, never caused any problems and never balked once..
Cons
Cons - None.
Summary
When it comes to software that does partitioning, you must be absolutely confident in the product. My five stars for "Paragon Partition Manager" are to reflect the quality of the product as I found it to be.

"Great tool"
Version: Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 12.0
Pros
Simple patitioning: just enter new partition size and the program automatically splits the disk.
Cons
No estimated time scale, would be great to add it.
Summary
I used it to create the second partition on my girlfriend's new Vaio and Partition Manager did it perfect, thanks to the developer! :)

"Free version asks for registration = FAIL"
Version: Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 12.0
Pros
Couldn't test due to last-century-style registration requirement.
Cons
I hate it when companies try to collect email addresses for later attempts to upsell.

"Outstanding Partitioning tool"
Version: Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 12.0
Pros
Easy to use. Sufficient warnings if you are about to make any irreversible changed. Able to preview changes before saving them
Cons
Seems to have difficulty with external Drives
Summary
Worth getting and reasonably safe for anyone to use. I used it to rescue an Ubuntu OS I had installed on an external HDD and the computer stopped reading the partition. Also used it to recover some lost space by deleting an unused partition. reformatting it and adding it to the C drive.

"Can't install free version"
Version: Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 12.0
Pros
Couln't try it so .......
Cons
Asks for a serial number at install - none comes with download. Hard to try it that way....
Summary
Apparently this is "buy before you try" - I wanted "try before you buy" - my mistake?
