Someone gave me a license for System Mechanic Ultimate. I had some time on my hands today, so I decided to give it a test run.
So I made an updated image Backup with Macrium first, then when finished with the image BU, I installed System Mechanic Ultimate, and when you do that you have to make an account at Iolo
I have xfinity, download speed is a little over 100MG and upload is 20 (I think, Just in case any of this is important) .
I finished the install, and liked it. PC seemed faster, but had no way of testing the AV / Antimalware components. I uninstalled it, then I restored the macrium image I made before doing the install.
Now with a clean slate (the Image is a new clean install of Windows 11 from about a week ago)... I decided to test the plain vanilla System Mechanic Standard.
I did NOT enter any serial, and I did NOT log in to any account for System Mechanic. To my shock, the System Mechanic was the Ultimate version, good for 365 days !!!
So them I restored a macrium BU from a week ago, and I tried the test again, with the FREE version of System Mechanic.... Same thing happened. Immediately after the install, it shows the Ultimate Edition good for 365 days.
So now I am beginning to wonder if Iolo is recording IP Addresses and linking the IP to an account, and doing all that automatically ! ??? I'm stumped.
