ashampoo burning studio 2014 is a stripped down version of ashampoo burning studio 12.burning studio 2014 does not have disc spanning feature(ability to split large data into multiple cd/dvd without using anything else like winzip/winrar,file splitter etc) ,video slideshow & a compact mode(a cool looking orb like gadget instead of usual program window in which you can drag & drop files to burn).

you will get an email with a link clicking on which will take you to ashampoo german site(no worries,just click on grey box under step 2/Schritt 2) where you will get key.use this key with english installer from above.on clicking activate now you will get an error saying key already activated,just exit the program.after exiting program open registry editor(type regedit) & go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ashampoo\Ashampoo Burning Studio 12\ash_inet & in right pane you will see a state"=dword:00000002.select it & click on edit then change value from 2 to 1 so now it looks like state"=dword:00000001.now launch ashampoo burning studio 12 & it is fully activated.
btw both of these are good only using ~30-50mb of ram but for those who just want to burn data & image discs with no extra options i still recommend nero 7/8 micro(not official version) especially if you got nero 7/8 free with your dvd writer.
