Moderators mta Posted July 13, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2016 coincidentally Ed, this has come up recently; answer can be found here; https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=46658&p=274697 or to spin it to your question more specifically: after the year is up, the license expires, but the product is still fully functional, you just lose what the license gave you; priority support, cleaning all users, monitoring etc. so, Yes, you must renew every year to retain the extra benefits of the Pro version. and welcome to the Forum.

AminalEd Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thank you for the quick reply. I'll have to talk to my mate, she said I could upgrade if I didn't have to constantly renew. mayhaps I'll be able to convince her.

Moderators Nergal Posted October 28, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2018 Mta, is wrong, you DO NOT lose cleaning all users or monitoring. All you lose is priority support and auto-update. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

BillieB0B Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Tx...and I just noticed, a licensed copy of CCleaner in the Pro Bundle shows an available update to v5.48.6834, currently v5.24.5841, runs the update download but still shows the old version even with multiple attempts and restarting the program. Another computer does the same only is currently v5.46.6652. What gives...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieB0B Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thank you....and of course nothing is simple. I have different UI's on two Win10Pro HP laptops....one has the Quick Clean side menu, one does not. I have not yet noticed any further differences, but they both have the same version number.....??? I tired the quick clean and not impressed at all so won't use it, but the face the same version presents differently in two separate installs does not make me very confident in the program.

The Quick Clean is a 'Feature Preview' they are trying out on random people when they download. You can opt not to use it but get no say on whether you are one of the 'chosen few' You can switch to Custom Clean via Options.. Settings. I personally don't like the fact that Piriform have not posted full info on Quick Clean so users can see what is going on. After the fact is too late as far as I am concerned, and I don't want a simplified dumbed down version of CCleaner.
