Why the old downloads are gone

The old installers and their registration scripts were written two decades ago for operating systems that are no longer supported. Keeping them online helped nobody and confused security scanners, so we removed them. If you need a document from the old site, write to cresotech@gmail.com.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still download PocketSafe or Convert-It?

No. These programs were discontinued long ago and are no longer distributed or supported. Downloads and registration services from the old site have been removed.

I have an old registration key. Can you help?

Unfortunately the old registration systems no longer exist and we cannot issue or recover keys for discontinued programs.
