   Yes, sadly, it is true that this latest upgrade requires an added payment. It is a pity the author was unable to keep the promise of "free for live".
   
   GIVE MY A BREAK!
   
   You're given a superior program, for a small cost, and want more, more, MORE. Get a life. You're not forced to upgrade. Many of the features are NOT even used, by anyone. And the author does go out of the way to inform users of all changes, including the added cost, and that this new version will cost you a few more dollars. CHILL.
   
   ZTreeWin has been arounf for years with many free upgrades. Skip the FRIES and kindly offer some $$$ support to this author for an excellent program, Mindblower! (needed to rant to lower my blood presure) :)

   If you are a network manager or a programmer looking to kick the competitions backside mastery of this tool will make you godlike. Do in seconds what other sad trolls can only dream of. Treat millions of files on multiple servers and drives with contempt. Spectacularly powerful multiple file spec filters and raw search capabilities with global tags and the ability to replicate and consolidate complex directories to a single path are huge advantages. Throw in just about every conceivable file management feature including hex edit and easy batch script generation and you might understand why users love it sooo much. If the author would add the ability to sort, search and tag by access date and creation date I would say it was perfect. This program has been my edge over the competition for many years. Great stuff!!!

   ZTreeWin is without doubt the most used app on my computer. I understand that if you are new to computers it can be challenging, in particular given the great alternatives like Total Commander. Nevertheless, if you are dealing with lots of files every day (like truly yours), it's difficult to find any other tool that makes working with files easier and faster than ZTreeWin.

   WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
   
   This version removes your registration.
   
   Despite my having purchased a lifetime license, the developer has decided to charge for an upgrade to this version.
   
   Had the developer asked for donations to help him continue, I would have freely given him a donation as the product is great, but for him to arbitarily decide that my life time license has in some way expired is fraudulent.
   
   I will not be upgrading and will not be paying him any more money.

   Reviewing 2.0.183 Beta (Feb 17, 2009)

   Man, this brings back memories. I used XtreePro and XTreeGold literally 20 years ago and I think I spent more time using them than any other program at the time. Absolutely indispensible. ZTW has been around for a couple of years and is a progression of the XTG series. This program is like a stick-shift car. If you learned on one you're good even twenty years later. If you didn't, there's a learning curve and probably associated frustration because it's not what you're used to. But it's worth it - take the time to get used to the keyboard shortcuts instead of your mouse and you'll shave big chunks of time off mundane file-management tasks.
   
   I still think that $29.95 is a little steep for this tool, considering that other packages out there are free. IMO it should be donationware - unlimited functionality, pay whatever you think it's worth. I'm thinking that this would give users the time they need to acquaint themselves and realise how useful it is.
