If you go to the wayback machine (or just read this stupidly long thread) there are several links that point to the 2012 EULA that mentions that yearly term. It was buried in the EULA that no one bothered to read and, most importantly, it was not enforced by Piriform. Goodbye Piriform, won't be touching any of your products ever again.even if they come with so called lifetime/one-off licence fees.Īctually, Henk, there was. I'm not even going to take up their offer of a free 1 year licence. They clearly want one-time licence holders of Ccleaner pro to start paying. If the first option works for you then let me know and I can get that created for you." If neither of those options appeal, there is always the free version of CCleaner available from which of course has no limit on the number of PCs. If you need CCleaner for multiple computers, we have an offer on at the moment on 2 year licences of the 3 PC CCleaner Professional Plus bundle here If you only need CCleaner for one PC I can create you a complementary replacement licence - although note that this would only last for 12 months and then need to be renewed at the prevailing rate. We understand that this sort of thing can happen over time, and a couple of options for you would be: "it would seem that our licence management system recently automatically disabled your licence for overuse when it was flagged as having been used on 13 distinct machines - which is naturally problematic for a single PC home-use licence. Oh, you don't remember that fiasco? LOOK IT UP, then ask yourself, do I really want to put this junk on MY machine? When not spying on people, CCleaner's loading Malware on to your machine due to their lack of build security. I guess it's OK for you to screw people, but god-forbid a paying customer uses your "free" spyware to clean their registry once a month. I find it deeply ironic how you dare to mention the term "license abuse" when that is precisely what Avast did to every paying CCleaner customer. I congratulate you all on your eager willingness to suck down that tasty Avast! Koolaide. What else does it collect and then report when it tattles on its paying user? Avast! has successfully transmogrified CCleaner into a SAAS monstrosity, worthy of ruining former customers and effectively screwing any new ones stupid enough to pay for it and load it onto their machine. Well, thanks very much PowerDave, for confirming what I already suspected: CCleaner phone's home. However, if you bought a 1 PC licence and are using it on a half dozen home PCs, have deployed it across your company network, have published it on your blog for anyone to use, or have tried to resell the same key to hundreds of people on eBay - you are inevitably going to have a bad time.Īnyone who may have made a genuine mistake is encouraged to contact support to see what they can do for you (rather than outing yourself in public). To reiterate the previous points for all - if you bought a home use "version-based" licence prior to 2018 and are using on the number of PCs that you bought it for then no-one has "switched anything off". I did try to recommend that you contact support so that you could get answer in private - but if you would like a public answer specific to your case: you didn't mistype your key.
