Paid-for (commercial) software needs to demonstrate that it offers more than freeware alternatives so as to justify its price.

I sampled this DoYour Data (strange name?) uninstaller earlier this year from GOTD but found it offered nothing for its retail price that existing freeware doesn't already offer.

There's a range of alternatives out there, the pick of which -- in my personal experience-- has long been 'Soft Organizer' (a case where the name doesn't help at all: if you didn't know it was an uninstaller, you'd probably never try it.)

I actually prefer Soft Organizer to Revo Uninstaller PRO, which I bought a few years ago.

Thanks GOTD for today's DYD offer but the hassle of time-limited extended trial software isn't worth it when hassle free, no-cost alternatives exist.

Peter Wilkinson, It's not 'time-limited'. i agree about 'Soft Organiser', but its GAOTD is just the same as 'DoYourData Uninstaller - lifetime licence with no updates.

To everybody, who is unpleased by a given downloaded program.
READ, pls, the conditions of being here, on this forum.
All programs must be downloaded "as are and as given", according to conditions of the site.
Why so many blaming and evil to developers and working people, here on the giveawayoftheday's pages?
If you dislike this program you free to go away from here and do not take.
But you have no right to humiliate developers and their program "for nothing".
Have a little respect to people who are working here and for you and read, pls, condition before to do scandals.
All unfair scandalists have to be taken away from here.
Do not give them programs. May buy, if they dislike being here and have for free.

Esther IT, Much of the idea of GOTD is to also critique programs. If there are free or better programs out there, there is no reason to not critique the giveaway version. This gives its developers feedback on what to fix or not fix and make better moving forward. In forums, many developers appreciate the feedback be it good or bad. It gives them a roadmap moving forward.
No one is doing any scandals.

Downloads the FREE version of the program not the PRO version. There is no "register this software" option in the menu's. According to their website the only difference between the FREE and PRO versions seem to be that the FREE vesion is limited to 1 year use of all featyres, not a lifetime license. Very disappointing.

I had DoYourData Uninstaller Pro v5.4.
Looked at the update option and the program was about to update to v5.5 FREE so came on here to update tho 5.5 Pro version.

Having run the Pro version, looking in the list of installed programs it shows Doyourdata 5.5 FREE but no entry for doyourdata pro.

Confusing!
Anyone else getting that?

Will now logoff, reboot and try again. If any different will report on here.
