Total Uninstall 50% off at BDJ
« on: February 28, 2015, 07:19 AM »
Total Uninstall is 50% off at Bits Du Jour today (Feb 28 2015).

Note that it requires a hardware footprint and does not allow re-installation on a computer if you move the license to another one.  As a rule, I won't use any program that imposes that kind of restriction on principle, but I like Total Uninstall so much that I have made an exception for it.  The developer is also quite responsive.

According to the developer in the BDJ comments section, the license isn't quite as restrictive as that sounds:

  - you are permitted to move a license from one computer to another, but it may require logging onto the vendor's website and disabling the old license
  - one of his comments indicates that after some period of time license 'slots' become available again, so that a reinstall might not even require manual license management.  This behavior might apply only to the family license.

Still more licensing headaches that I prefer, but it's not as draconian as it first sounded.
