I was just going to make this suggestion.
Way back in 1995 Microsoft started this "name the product after the year it came out" convention & then Norton (and lots of others quickly followed). You'll notice that almost all of them have abandoned that method of naming for more conventional methods.
My guess is for the reason SPWolf voiced...once it becomes a new year your product sounds 'out-dated' even if it came out just a couple months before the calendar change.
I vote for PowerArchiver v13.0. Prominently displaying that the program is in its 13th major version shows that it is a very mature piece of code that's been around a long time and trusted by its users.
Naming it something like PowerArchiver 2012 or 2013 really doesn't reveal anything about how mature/reliable the program or the program's roots.
