Files become orphaned sometimes for no known reason. Even if always dismounting drive after use. Disk Utility not able to correct problem. Have to use CHKDSK/F to fix under Windows. Update, despite saying it is a free update, on the My Account, fails and does not recognise the serial number/license codes from ver 9.x to 9.x. I would not even update if these issues did not occur intermittently.
Fix your product, Paragon.

You could possibly have corrupt preferences for the program. Try finding them in your library folder and moving them to the desktop. You will probably have to re-register the program since it should be the equivalent of a fresh install (which is why I say move instead of delete so if there is a problem with registration you can put them back) but that may fix your issue.

I updated to version 9.5.3 from ver 9.0.3 using the My Account Download link. Now the serial number and code do not work. It tells me that the code has been used already. The manual says that it means the code is fake i.e. generated by a pirate keygenerator yet I paid for this code and it's on the website. I have two licenses and both have this issue. I've faxed and email Paragon but their cheek to suggest a customer who is using their code is being a criminal is truly shameful. What's more the software is buggy sometimes. The files disappear and become "orphaned". One has to use CHECKDSK /F on a Windows system to fix the drive again - it recovers all the orphaned files. Poor show, Paragon.

I updated from ver 9.0.3 to 9.5.3 and now my license code/serial numbers do not work. I'm now again on a 10 day trial. The numbers are from Paragon and are on their website. I'm waiting for their feedback.

Used an earlier version of the program: 9.0.1
Never had problems on my Mac with OSX Lion.

But when I tried the new version (9.5.1) it broke my system.
Finder doesn't work anymore. Even after forcing restart of the finder it does not respond!
Not only finder does not work, some other apple programs stopped responding ( like disk utility ).
Restarting was not possible. Only a hard shut down with the power button was possible.

Only format helped.
Tried to install it again after format, but the problem was back again. So had to format 2 times.
Now I'm using the Tuxera alternative. This works!

I confirm! I just bought it when they announced "Valentine Day promo". It rendered my system UNUSABLE. Had to reinstall from Time Machine. Found working 9.0.1 version on Mechodownload.com, but I am looking for something else. Any suggestions??

Confirmed. Finder no longer detected my NTFS USB drive after I installed this software. I had to uninstall/restart to fix the problem.I will try Tuxera next.

I had the exact same problem. Used 9.0.1 on Lion and it worked fine. Installed 9.5.1 and my machine nearly didn't even boot up. However, you need not format or restore from TimeMachine! All you have to do is boot up in safe mode (hold down Shift upon starting up). Uninstall 9.5.1 and put 9.0.1 back. I'm not touching any 9.5.x version of this software. Might try 10.x.x, but I'll Google around before trying that.

Just checked their own site and voila, seems a simple problem, just make sure that you remove the disk "safely" when in windows.
http://kb.paragon-software.com/paragon/include/templ/object2.jsp?catId=2124&objId=6958&statId=1963547&foLang=en

After using NTFS drive in Windows you have detached it without removing it safely. Therefore NTFS journal has not been emptied from temporary streams.
To fix the problem, open Disk Utility under Mac OS X. You will find it in Applications – Utilities.
Choose NTFS partition on the left and find First Aid tab on the right. Under this tab you will find Verify Disk option. Run Verify and then Repair.
In most cases Verify will show a note "Native NTFS journal is not empty". If there is no such message but other file system errors have been detected by Verify, still please run Repair.
Please take screen shots of Verify and Repair outupt just in case.
Now please detach hard disk from your computer, and then connect it back. Now NTFS volumes should be automatically mounted.
It is important:
Even if disk is not visible in Finder, it will still be displayed in Disk Utility.
Verify and Repair options are available only if Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.5 is turned on in System Preferences
"NTFS journal is not empty" error may appear on the drive if it wasn't safely removed in Windows. Please always use "Safe remove" when you finish work with NTFS drive in Windows.

@snr:
Didn't have anything to do with a safely removed disk.
The problems where there constantly, even with no disk attached and I always disconnect my external disks safely.

Also: Disk Utility wasn't even able to launch.

Excellent utility to manipulate NTFS disks and partitions and its files on any type of media. Gives Disk Utility.app the ability to apply its duties on NTFS drives and partitions either via GUI or through the command line. Lightweight and unobtrusive.

Notice to version numbers. 8.0, 9.0. This company never try to fix anything with their software. I have reported some finding to them, they said that they will fix them and closed the cases but none of them fixed. Instead, they released a new version. I do not believe that there's anything new with this version, because NTFS is NTFS. New versions are to want more money from their old customers. If you pay an upgrade price for a new version, later they starts to sell the new version for the upgrade price you paid.

This software is dangerous! My bootcamp volume corrupted many many times and I had to repair it. If you report these kind of problem to their tech support, they suggest you to repair the disk with Disk Utility. Why would I have to repair my NTFS volume every time?

I uninstalled it. Dangerous software and poor support. That's it!

The support is very unresponsive.

I recently bought a copy and had a problem so I tried to contact them but they don't even list their support email address at their corporate website! Or at least they don't advertise it well, as I couldn't find it there.

So I contacted them via their web support form but am yet to receive any replies from them after more than a week.

The NTFS driver itself seems to work well; my problem was that it didn't work at all with anything other than the Finder. It seems that it was because the volume name of the NTFS partition was not in plain ASCII (mine was in Korean.) After I renamed it in English, everything seems to work fine.

I should revise my review. A few days after I wrote the above review, they contacted me and they do seem to have a proper support process, but seem to have been very busy rolling out the new release (9.0).
So please disregard the 'unresponsive' part above.

I've noticed a few issues relating to Paragon's NTFS for Mac and I just wanted to share them.

(1) Incompatible with VMware Fusion: In order to run VMware Fusion I have to go to Disk Utility and unmount the volume before I can run it.

(2) Safari Download Issue: When attempting to download a file via Safari, if the NTFS volume is mounted on the desktop the Safari will hang for about 15 seconds before it continues the download normally.

(3) Name In Finder: Though the volume's name is "Mimmic" both in Disk Utility and in Windows, it's mounted as "Mimmic 1" and no amount of changing on my part can fix this. It will change temporarily but the next time I mount the volume it will be "Mimmic 1" all over again.

(4) Finder Eject: I cannot unmount the volume by key command or dragging to the trash, I have to unmount it via Disk Utility.

It's a good little utility and once these issues are ironed out it'll be an invaluable piece of software.
