You have to be very careful with software like this. Quite often it can install the wrong drivers if your PC or especially laptop requires specific drivers created by the manufacturer and not generic one's a program like this will often give you.

True, better set a System Restore point manually prior to installing any updates offered (if the program doesn't already do it by default).

You are right. It's changed my PC to blue screen frustation as it's updated incorrect drivers for USB3

Good point and you do but I have used this for a while and its the ONLY one I trust and has never given me any problems over the time I have used it (about a year)

Good program, only problem I have ever had with it is with graphic drivers so probably best ignoring those.

Have downloaded it for now however the only time I find I need a program like this is after a fresh install. Can I use the activation key then? Or will it allow me to use it now and later when I reset my laptop/others

Put it this way, as long as you KEEP the SharewareOnSale email that they send you, then ...
I did just so, some x-days back (with a different SharewareOnSale Freebie I'd already both downloaded and installed onto a Windows Laptop, then day's AFTER that particular Freebie had ended, I referred back to the email they'd previously emailed me x-days prior (of which I'd not deleted to the trash can, or whatever?), as a result of that, I was then able to re-download the exact same day's later!, hehehe.
But this time I downloaded it again, and installed it onto a Windows Tablet instead ...
And alllll worked perfectly! (as if it was rather on my Windows Laptop instead, or something?).
Simply put, both a download link + any necessary Serial Number's/Registration Codes etc are emailed to you ... (delete that, and your obviously screwed via it for a 'future date'?).
Note to self, keep everything!, hehehehe, job done, lol. :-)

System restore point is automatically created and old drivers also backup first too, so pretty much all bases covered.

Something weird... I just accidentally googled the serial number I was given and a whole load of foreign threads relating to this program came up with the exact same serial number...
Anyone else get a similar serial number

Same code here. Looks like all these threads were just created as the promo started so I don't see a reason to worry really.

It's not an issue. The key given is a giveaway key. It is a shared key valid for 1 year from the start of the giveaway. The same key is given to every user of the giveaway. It is done like this to prevent abuse. Stops people farming keys to sell online or sitting on them for use at a later date.
Btw this key can be used to activate the free version on Steam.

We're talking about 1 batch run of the same temporarily free Product base?.
The actual paid for equivalent via IOBits own website will not base forth the same 1-time only generically generated serial number for sure ... lol. :-)

There was once a time when I would have used software such as this.
I stopped after a past partner never updated her operating system, didn't have any anti virus installed, and didn't check drivers. (after updating/installing all that it turned out nothing was wrong)!
I lost the use of my scroll feature at the left edge of my track pad after a similar program installed some generic 'upgrade' drivers.
It was hard work getting the original driver back to fix the mouse!
