Thank you all for this thread, I am not even done reading it all, but I did what one other poster mentioned, when I purchased my gaming PC in 2015, I bought malwarebytes and CCleaner, both mentioned it was for life and could be removed and placed on another PC. Well when I recently updated that old gaming pc to windows 10, my paid version of CCleaner was no more...so I am now in the same boat, arguing with them about this issue.
My personal feeling is, neither of these companies could see far enough ahead to know subscription services would become the best way to make more $ with their products, decided to screw over there long time loyal consumers and now have revisionist history...Was there ever a resolution? I don't even mind having to update it myself...I just don't like not having the advanced features that I paid for. I say we make a concerted effort to flame these people on social media every chance we can...
I don't know if this will help all of you who seem to have gotten wrapped up in what has been referred to as a "Bait and Switch" tactic (which seems to be happening in ever increasing numbers as one company sells out to a different managing company), but I found the following while cruising the net two days ago. (URL is at the bottom of this post.) It clearly states "CCleaner Professional Plus Lifetime License" and "You also get three of Piriform's programs called Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy for free as part of the CCleaner Pro Plus Package". My question would be if no "Lifetime License" of CCleaner is available for purchase, how do they explain companies such as the one at URL below, selling their product under exactly the guise? This absolutely muddies the waters at best, and leans heavily towards false advertising. I would think that at the very least, Piriform could make a very wise business decision by contacting every single one of those who are feeling ripped-off, and offer all of them something like a free year or two of programs. It's obvious that not doing SOMETHING for you all, will lead to a hemorrhage of money many times what the bandage would cost them. I'll be watching as I'm sure many more will as well. Good Luck!
