MFreburg Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I've been a Ccleaner user for many years. Today for the first time ever I got a pop-up (I hate pop-ups) saying "thanks for playing fair. The free version of Ccleaner is for private use only. If you are a commercial user you must use the paid version," or words to that effect. What on earth led the software to conclude that I am a business?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted March 5, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2019 It doesn't think you're a business, it's saying that if a user is running it in a business then it's against the license. Everyone gets the same pop-up with the same text. It should be noted that there's a general feeling against the pop-ups that matches yours. 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.

MFreburg Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Why this pop-up all of the sudden, why now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 6, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2019 Nobody likes pop-ups and it like in the past with many other software examples it's a great way to drive users away into using a competing product that doesn't yet annoy like that. Personally I think their setup routine could be the solution: 1) install as Free home users only, or 2) install as Pro business license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
