- Download the free version of SEO Powersuite from the official site:
- Install it
- Download Zone Alarm firewall (it?s free and seems to work for everyone):
- Install it
- Open ALL SEO Powersuite programs (SEO SpyGlass, Rank Tracker, Website Auditor, LinkAssistant & BuzzBundle) and let them update:
Normally only BuzzBundle and 1 other program need to be opened to update.
Opening 1 of the other 4 programs will update all 4 of them, but I opened all of them anyway to make sure.
After the update close all of them and immediately open them again.
Leave them opened!
- Open Zone Alarm and add a blocked IP, here?s how:
Under Firewall (Protected) click View Details.
Click View Zones on the Right hand side.
Click Add>> IP Address.
Zone: Blocked IP Address 208.115.108.42 and name it whatever you want & click ok.
- Now go back to the SEO Powersuite programs (which are still open)
- Go to Help -> Registration Info... and enter the right registration info per program:
...
After this you should have a working version, I just tested this today (23-07-2013) and it worked.
Make sure Zone Alarm is running every time you start SEO Powersuite.
Don?t try to use proxies, I tried and it connected to their server through the proxy, told me the registration was invalid and I had to start all over again.
If something isn?t working correctly, check if ?Use proxy? is unticked under Preferences -> Proxy Settings...
If all else fails: remove the registration codes, uninstall SEO Powersuite and start again from square 1.
After my first try Powersuite wouldn?t connect to Google and Yahoo, only Bing.
I started over and now everything is working as it should.
Have fun!
