What's the deal with the upcoming version 6?
All purchases of TPF5.5 made after April 1, 2004 include free upgrade to version 6 once released. If you purchased TPF 5.5 prior this date you may be asked for small upgrade fee if interested in version 6. The upgrade policy will be announced soon.
What is the limitation of trial version?
There is no functional limitation of trial version. The only limit is the time period which is 30 days.
Where can I get the license key?
You can purchase the permanent license to use TPF at our online store (follow up purchase link on top). Your key will be emailed to you within minutes after the purchase. This period may get longer if your credit card was chosen for random check (for your protection!).
How about Win98/ME version?
TPF 5.5 and up does not support Windows 98/ME and there are no plans to support these platforms.
What do I need to do before installing TPF?
Even though TPF is friendly to other firewalls and virus scan software it is always good to limit the presence of other technologies. Especially Symantec engineers do not expect any other software running on the same machine with their Norton AV.
Tiny Firewall 6.0 FAQ
What is the difference between TPF5.5 and TF6.0?
Please read about the diferences at TF6 page once available. Basically the same engine extended with the new functionalities and very similar UI for now. UI will change dramatically with upcoming TF6 builds.
Will my policies from version 5.5 work on 6.0? What can I do to migrate my policies to version 6.0?
No, version 5.5 policies will not work 'as is' on version 6.0. The XML database was extended. There will be a tool in the near future however for now you would have to back up your policies and manually cut and paste appropriate sections.
Because TF6 learning process is not too intrusive we recommend to just install TF64 and let it learn your environment.
