Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 Advanced - FREE!!

[ozbloke]

This offer will be available from midday this Friday through to midnight Sunday.

I'm fairly certain this would not be the latest version of Ashampoo's Burning Studio, it's always difficult to tell with their products. But their burning suite is highly regarded and most certainly a much better proposition than most freeware alternatives.

The Advanced version adds more functionality over and above the regular edition. Improved features include an updated burning engine, a major update to the supported driver database, plus an improved user-interface.

As far as I know, this one is still good.

Hey Ron - Thanks for the update mate. However, the download you have linked to is for the standard Burning Studio 2010, the original post was for the 'Advanced' version (which includes a few little extras over and above the standard).

It seems this standard version may now be pretty much available free forever, would still be better than many of the freeware alternatives however and well worth a mention!!

Thanks again,
Jim

P.S. One which is also worth another mention is WinUtilities Pro, which is still available for free HERE..

I downloaded it at the time of posting the original topic and have been using it ever since....it's a pretty decent program!!

Jim - I think WinUtilities Pro has been withdrawn as a freebie. Page linked by that URL insists on a user being registered and I couldn't find a way to do that. They just pulled the plug on a six month's arrangement at DotTech.org for a similar giveaway.

Hey Ron - Yep, sure looks that way. Just checked again and you are quite right mate!! I wonder if my program updates for WinUtilities will still continue to work!!!

Thanks for the latest heads up mate.

Cheers......Jim

UPDATE:

Ron - Just checked it out, there are reports of the program no longer being registered after applying the latest update. So, I updated to the latest version (v9.82) and the reports are 100% accurate; the updated version will not accept the original ID/license code and reverts to a trial.

This is a really despicable act by YL Software and smacks of a giant con job....the original offer was advertised as 'lifetime' licenses. Even in the program's status it states; "Expiration Date: Never"

I've sent off an 'irate' email to the YL Software support team requesting an explanation. Won't be holding my breath while awaiting a reply!!!
