Long time user. This utility does what it is supposed to. The unregistered version will not encrypt a folder, just files, so that is not a legitimate complaint.

But...

The licensing scheme is per 'machine.' If you purchase a new computer, or get your logic board replaced, you have to buy another license. The author says it is the only way to eliminate pirating, but I feel that is bogus. Sure it is a relatively inexpensive utility, but it is not that superior to the many encrypting shareware programs at comparable cost. There may be other shareware that use this license format, (although I do not know of any,) but it is far from an acceptable standard. Computer users have come to expect that they can transfer their software to their new computer. Can you imagine if all software was licensed to a single machine? The cost of buying a new computer, and all new software, would be many thousands more.
