Do what works best for you but keep it fair. I know you will keep it fair, you have been very good about that.

Personal note, I will not buy the lifetime license. I feel you deserve support for the work you do and a lifetime payment goes away quick.

I will pay you the subscription price.

Now you are making me feel bad. :(

No reason to feel bad, Jono. I understand that some people prefer the lifetime licenses, which is why I'm working to give them both options.

I don't mean to make anyone feel bad either. I'm just stating how I intend to purchase my license and why. Everyone has their own reasons and feelings.

The subscription model that’s been presented is fine with me. I also have the desire to help keep things going. Count me in. 8-)

You didn’t sound selfish. I also said I didn’t care for subscriptions but I didn’t mean it was a deal breaker. It’s nice to hear what everyone thinks. That way it seems more ideas get kicked around and in the end things will hopefully end up better for all of us. :D

WRC. No one thinks any less of you, it's all good :) If you want to buy the lifetime license, I'm sure Fred will appreciate it. I have only heard Fred complain one time and I think it was well warranted, it was also not about pricing either. To me he seems genuinely happy that we buy his stuff to begin with. That is prolly the main thing I like about Fred. He is humble, he really enjoys us buying his stuff and he does not want to "force" us to buy it. WRC, you buy any license you want, it's completely cool, If Fred didn't like the payment option he wouldn't give it to you. Just FYI, though, I am willing to bet after UVK, all of his future tools will have subscription options for payment. Don't ask me why I think that, I don't think the details of why I think that is my place to discuss :)

I don't doubt this. Nor do I disagree with it. I hope more users out there get a hold of his software. But come the day that our own customers are using it, due to its ability to fix everything... there goes our jobs ;)

The good part is, there are things in the "pro" version that can seriously jack up a computer if you don't know what your doing. I think there are average users that have found it but over all, I have no worries about people using it to put me out of work :)

Are we talking about the same customers who are afraid to let Windows update itself and leave Flash/Java/Reader outdated because something might go wrong?

I have no worries about any of my customers using tools like these.

Hey, guys.

TTS licenses are available. Just so you know. If you have trial days left, it's better for you to spend them first.

Why is that Fred? A technical problem or you just want us to use our trial days?

No technical problem, Jim. It's just that the trial days left are not added to the validity of the license.

However, when extending an existing license, any days left from the previous license will be accounted.

Just in case you don't want to waste those days.

Anyway to Automate process uninstalls with Premium TTS?
IE. Run Ccleaner, Defraggler or Auslogics & then uninstall after process has completed.

Jono, CCleaner does not need to uninstall, it's portable.

As for non-portable tools, no, that's not possible. I didn't want to make it that way for obvious reasons. The most valid point is that many tools need to reboot in order to complete their jobs (i.e. TDSSKiller or MBAM, if they find threats, they need to reboot to complete removal).

But you can select and uninstall several tools at once.

wrc, you could make a separate entry that just runs an uninstall command but that's why, with rare exception, I only use portable tools.

The only real way I see to do it is to have tts keep track of all your installs in a session and then present you with a list to uninstall. You could then choose from that list what you wanted to uninstall.

Not sure how helpful that would be though. It would also take a while to code.
