You have to pay for it every year. I doubt I'll renew, it says I have 9 years left on my SSD (Samsung 840 EVO).

The difference is that 'techspot' DOES have a download link from which you can download the free version, and I have done so. The 'ssd-life.com' site does not appear to have a download button for the FREE version. I agree with Zaghadka - I also could not find a download link for the free version. |
