Trying to install amos pro to my hard drive

Hi everyone,

Perhaps one of you can help?
Im trying to install Amos Professional to my Amiga's hard disk (I have an A600 with 1meg chip and 1 meg fast)

Anyway, I have downloaded the .ADF's and copied them to floppies. (Albeit HD floppies with tape around the hole)

I have then opened up the AmosPro_System disk and double clicked on install.AMOS, been led through a couple of screens then come to a dead end when the screen tells me that i do not have the original disk. Can someone help?

I thought AMOS Pro is freeware...

Ahhh! Sounds like the disk (or ADF) has been modified ... or copied with Workbench DiskCopy before registration name was applied to it.
You need to make sure you do it with the original unmodified disk (or ADF) .... if you actually have the original disks, and want to work with a copy (as to not modify the original disks) copy the AMOSPro_System disk with X-Copy!
The reason for this, is that when the AMOSPro_System disk is booted for the first time, it asks for your first and last name .... then it writes this info to the disk (not sure where though) and applies that to the splash screen that appears every time you start AMOS Pro.

Yes and No, AMOS Professional was a commercial product, but nowadays there's sites that are offering downloads of AMOS Professional.
I'm not sure if this is legal or not though.
