TuneUp Utilities 2009 Updates Licensing Model: Three PCs Covered by Single License

February 9, 2009—TuneUp today announced a major licensing change for the company’s comprehensive, intelligent Windows optimization tool suite, TuneUp Utilities 2009. Effective today, users who purchase a single product license will be able to install and register the software on up to three computers. Each installation will be fully activated with the single license key, including all online updating functionalities on each PC. TuneUp Utilities 2009 optimizes computers based on the unique combination of hardware, software, patterns of use and user preferences.

TuneUp Utilities 2009 has been designed from the ground up to encompass the full spectrum of PC optimization for users, including speeding up access to the hard drive, improving program response time by removing unneeded registry items, eliminating redundant data and correcting faulty system settings. The software individually analyzes a PC’s configuration and, combined with user-specified requirements, determines the best optimization measures for that individual computer. Users can create a sharp, individual look to their computer by changing icons, the visual style, boot and log-on screens, and even the animated Vista startup logo. Designed specifically for both inexperienced and professional Windows users, TuneUp Utilities 2009 allows anyone to improve their PC experience.

This flexible support for PC users with different needs combined with the new licensing model makes TuneUp Utilities 2009 ideal for the entire family. Power users who depend on a laptop for travel, a work station while at the office and their own PC at home will benefit from TuneUp Utilities 2009’s capability to understand each computer, and custom tune each for the single user’s needs. The casual user, Internet surfer or home shopper who uses a home PC will notice an increase in performance. The heavy online gamer, digital media buff or social media enthusiast will enjoy the powerful, deep customization TuneUp Utilities 2009 offers. All screens are easy to understand and offer intuitive interfaces that make the software especially suitable for computer novices who are unfamiliar with technical jargon.

When installed, the software analyzes the computer, and indicates problems and the potential for improvement. According to the results of this analysis and the configuration parameters selected by the user, TuneUp Utilities 2009 recommends measures that enable the user to carry out the best possible optimization for their computer. The program offers only optimization measures that are sensible and safe for the system, explains every action and alerts the user to every action, giving them full visibility into what TuneUp Utilities 2009 is doing.
