Congrats! -> freshmeat.net entry updated. :-)

g.

I can't run the application. It asks for a serial and no trial serial is presented. Hitting cancel only exists the program.

I thought there was a one month trial?

A serial number shows for me but it's only temporary (expires in July). My Nero 7 serial number doesn't work with NeroLinux 3. A new NeroLinux key costs $25.00 according to the web site.

my serial entry is blank.

That's another thing, the website contradicts the price depending on how you find the webpage showing the price. It's reported as €19.99 or €24.99.

For all of you who were using the beta, you should enter the serial number present in the /etc/nero/config file!

thanks, that did the trick

Any details about the upgrade policy?

Seems my previous Nerolinux serial won't be sufficient to use it, and there seem to be no other option than buy a new serial at 25$US.

I find it a bit hard to swallow after buying my copy a month ago...

Just bought it Thanks mathf, hope the problem with the dvd-isos is gone now

This is their official answer:

I guess I just wasted 20$ to use the previous version for a month :-(
Don't expect any more updates on the 2.xx, they removed the entire update section!

I'll think again before buying from them again.

Doesnt seem to work for me.
i've installed the 3.0.0.0 final release and it doesn't detect any drives on my Gentoo linux box.

Running kernel 2.6.21.5, using libata (IDE driver disabled).

I have:
I'm in the cdrom group, but no go.

I like, I mean I really like!!!!!!!!!!!!!
v2 was ugly but functional, never could get it to burn my FLAC audio, but then again never spent too much time dinking with it. But v3, very nice interface and everything "just works"! Of course with Gentoo it only took an "emerge nero" and it installed no problems.

I'm very impressed, and it's nice to be back with Nero once again ;-) Ever since I blew Microsoft off my drive 3 years ago Nero was one of the applications I miss, nice to be back!!!!!!!

I had the same problem with my old SCSI burner, I took the lazy way and just

when ever I needed to burn a cd or dvd.

I also had the same issue with Gnomebaker
