I'm trying to monitor my NAS disks according to the instructions on https://www.hdsentinel.com/how_to_monit ... status.php
I have version 5.01 PRO. However I can't find the menu item "Configure NAS Disk Monitoring" (or a German equivalent) in the file menu. What am I missing?

This function is not yet available in 5.01 version, just in newer versions, which are currently in beta stage (the next major version will be released soon).

To use this function, please download this version:

https://www.hdsentinel.com/beta5/hdsent ... 4-nmdf.zip

To use it, please just completely close the current version by File -> Exit and (without uninstallation) install this version to the same folder, where the previous installed. This way the new version will automatically use all statistics, settings, license - and offers advanced functionality (including the NAS monitoring option).

Thanks. That did it. Now everything's working as expected.

I am running v5.30 9417 of HD Sentinel Pro registered version, and I do not see this option in the File menu either. In the changelog it shows that it was released in version 5.20.

Yes, the NAS monitoring function is available in Pro version since 5.20 (so 5.30 should have it).

If the option is missing, then I suspect you may have the standard version, not the Pro, because that function is available in the Pro version only.

Can you please verify in Help -> About box? The word "Professional" should be displayed there, confirming that the Pro version installed.

If the Pro version used, I'd suggest to please use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option, so then I can check the actual situation.

Ah, it does not show Professional in the about dialog. I thought when I registered it turned it into pro. I went back to the site, downloaded pro, installed, and voila, the option is there. Thank you.
