And it is not cheap either. In fact, I personally think it is a rip-off. The cheapest version costs $50 and that's just for 1 year. If you want to keep using it, you have to keep paying through the nose, $50 year after year!
They offer a free 30 day trial period, but its crippled
- some features don't work or are locked until you pay. How can you evaluate (or even "try") something if you can't use it?It is a good program but frankly, I don't see how they stay in business. This is too bad. Back when it was free (at least for home, non-commercial use) it was one of my favorites.
I mentioned Speccy before - it too is a good program, but sadly, it appears to have been discontinued since the last update was released in May 2018.
Open Hardware Monitor is another good one, and that's free. But its last update was in Dec. 2020. One of the first is still around and good too - SIV (System Information Viewer).
But we seem to be getting off-track. Sorry for my part in that.
