Annoying CCleaner

Is very annoying that CCleaner shows the annoying message of "INSERT LICENSE KEY" always when program stars of when Windows (10) starts.

This may be due to using the paid version - CCleaner Professional - without registering it.

Are you using a free, paid or trial version of CCleaner?  How does CCleaner describe itself in the top left-hand corner of the CCleaner console?  As the CCleaner free edition, CCleaner Professional, etc?  And what version number are you using - 5.87 or some earlier version? eg:

Also, is the button "licence information" visible under Options > About?

Are you receiving any other pop-up notifications relating to an expired licence, an invalid licence or an expiring trial?

I had the same problem & mine was registered but every time I opened the program I had to enter my key.
I would download the latest version, then uninstall the current CCleaner using Revo Uninstaller & running the scan for leftovers after removal. Then install the latest version which you downloaded.

Was that about a year or so ago that happened?  There was an issue back in 2020 with a couple of older CCleaner Professional versions and the new format licence keys (where you just enter the key and don't need to provide the name).

No, this was a few months ago. I contacted support & posted here as well. It was fixed by a later update.
