    Tested it on my XP 32 bit system and it worked well but I wouldn't use this program on a 64 bit system ... seen some complaints in the web about people having to reinstall their operating systems. Version I tried was 9.6 and it didn't seem quite ready for 64 yet.

    Wow, it's such a coincidence that they go months without an update, and then release a new version on the same day every year, and then hope the renewal payments roll in.

    It's not bad enough that this vendor spams you. No, they like doing things like letting you install an update you're not eligible for. The installer won't utter a peep regarding your upgrade eligibility. But when you try running it afterward, you get a nice notice that your license has expired. Decent vendors will notify you during installation.

    And by the way, it's a subscription, not a simple upgrade. For example, if your upgrade eligibility expires on December 31, and you don't upgrade until February 1, your new upgrade eligibility period will begin on December 31 where it left off; not on February 1 when you renewed.

    I also fell victim to the R-Tools spammers.

    It's a very good utility, though.

    Yes, R-Tools does sell email addresses to spammers. I use sneakemail.com and found out the hard way. Fortunately I could easily delete the unique email addy I used with them.
