Procedure: 1) Register (put a valid email address to get a code); 2) Wait for an email for 15 minutes; 3) The email should contain the user page for download and login/password. 5) Enjoy!
The email they send does provide the PRODUCT KEY / USER NAME and the SERIAL NUMBER. However, it does not contain a link to download the specific version of the software from. Am I missing something?

Same here - I am not sure where to download software - am I overlooking a link somewhere?
I was able to find the link for what I needed (the partition manager) using google, but was uncertain of how trustworthy the download from the site was. I've posted the whois info in a post above. Can anyone confirm that download site is reliable?
Use the email that you registered as username and password from the email.
pisistratus, even after logging into the ESS site, I could only access the license keys for what Paragon knew I'd registered for, but NOT the actual software (installer files).

I had that question the last time a paragon deal came up; I researched it for a while and found that there were two different download sites depending on which product / link you followed. One was this vnudownloads domain. Although it seemed a bit odd and not exactly endearing to have 3rd party software download sites involved, I seem to recall that I convinced myself that it was probably legitimate and just the sort of thing that a lot of places do outsourcing legitimate / official downloads through places like fileplanet, ditigalriver, softpedia, download.com, akamai.net, etc. I certainly didn't find anything directly negative about the domain or software. As I recall I was even able to download an actually identical software file / version from either that site or the other one that I found, so at least that bit seemed reassuring.
I'd download it and scan it (about the same as I'd do wity ANY download from ANY source), and maybe sit on it for a few days before installing it just to see if anyone complains about a problem. I doubt it's a problem other than in the clarity of the offer / instructions / process.

Go to "Products" Find your product See the "Updates" tab for "download" button
How does the Total Defrag software compare to something like Diskeeper? Is this stuff all decent quality? I love the title of the email with the license info "The letter from Paragon Software".

I've only used their Partition Manager (forget which version) before and it was okay; it did the job, although I still prefer Partition Magic.
