Money is tight and going to get tighter. Remember the early 1900s. First things got bad, then good, then bad again. Probably what is going to happen again. So why am I bringing this up? The new policy of asking for $25.00 may not sound like a lot of money to Piriform but for some - it is a lot. So I'd like to suggest that Piriform put two buttons/ways of supporting Piriform. The first can be the asking for $25.00 (so it shows first) but below that I think Piriform should place a "...or donate" section where someone can donate money to Piriform in any amount. Then, when someone comes to the site they can do either. So in months when money is really tight - someone can send $5.00 or $10.00 and in months when money isn't so bad - maybe they can do the $25.00.
Hi markem.
Where did you see the request for $25?
I believe that may have been the case, but you can actually donate any amount you choose.
On the Piriform download page for CCleaner, or any of Piriforms software, select the "donate here" button:
That takes you to this page, where you select your preferred currency:
Which takes you to this page, where you enter the amount of your choice, and then select "update":
And that's it, choose your preferred method of payment:
Hope that clarifies the current donation process for you, and maybe for others too.
Markem ccleaner is still totally free to all to use.
The payment is for paid support from Piriform itself instead of the forum here.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE THE PAID SUPPORT IN ORDER TO DOWNLOAD AND USE CCLEANER
I agree it is confusing on the download page.

Yup, and this is is one of many topics about it, and it's getting tiring explaining it.
