Lorin Roberts, it is using the 6 month license from the previous giveaway of the product you installed and activated then, ideally the vendor will wake up and tell you/us how to remove the old license so you can apply the new one. A hopeful workaround will be when the old license expires it will prompt for a new one and at that point you can try entering your new license from this giveaway... but there is always the risk that the license will not be accepted so late after the giveaway. Another thing you can try is advancing the systems date a few days and see if the remaining days drop accordingly... if it does then adjust the date so the old license expires and see if it gives you the chance to input a new license key... don't forget to return the date to the current date when finished.

roger,
You need to run this link in the same browser that you used to down-load the program.

Migo, did you read the read.me? There you can see how to get the key.

TK, this also makes heavy use of google analytics to harvest usage and activity logs from end users

Wahtsup, Need the option to install previous driver versions. In case a new driver shites the system. (Intel vs. MS Windows, that's you) Think display drivers. Is that option available?

Christopher J Smith, It lists all of the drivers, display drivers as well if they need to be updated.
As a nice safety, the program gives you the option to back up all of your drivers before you start. I hope I've answered your question.

José Korby, Possibly English is a second language and thus difficult for you, but frankly must tell you have no idea what you are saying?

Have you tried updating 12 year old hardware

Yes, I did, and I found there is no updates for “12 years old hardware”.

It’s like to go to the auto- store and to ask for parts for 50-years old car.

"All of the laptop manufactures provide their own updating systems that work the best" usually for a year, maybe two -- same with PCs, &/or motherboards if you build your own. Intel has their own app to check for new drivers, which is sometimes the only way to find them. When there's a new version, Nvidia & AMD graphics drivers are in the news, while commonly needed Realtek drivers are hard to find -- perhaps one of the best reasons for apps like Driver Techie Pro, which I assume, like driver sites, tries to find them from different OEMs that use Realtek components. The same goes for even harder to find component / chipset drivers and/or firmware from companies like ASMedia. [Tip: when you buy whatever new, look for Realtek rather than ASMedia etc.]

"... if the driver "improvements" are extracted from dubious sources.
It can mean malware."

That part is true, and why you might be better off with a company like Techieware than some site you never heard of. Coders, engineers etc. are human, and so they make mistakes. Software updates are how the [hopefully] fix them. Windows also updates / changes, & software, including drivers may also have to change with it. Best practice is to research -- find if/when new drivers are available, what issues the new version addresses, reports from those who've installed them, and finally test if all looks good, but only after a full backup.

Mo, If it ain't broke don't fix it is nr 12 (out of 7,000) in The Big Book of Clichés, Random House, 2003.

"Like they say, If it aint broke, don't fix it!"

1st, NOBODY writes drivers for fun or amusement -- if there's a new driver out, there's a reason for it. 2nd, define "Broke". A PC / laptop can still run, but with reduced performance, widely known [& exploited] security vulnerabilities, &/or features that don't work as advertised.

"Never used these driver updaters for years ... go to Intel's or whoever's website using their own search tool."

Searching for Intel drivers often does not work -- you need to install their software tool to check for updates. Realtek components are used in many [most?] PCs / laptops, and they haven't had drivers for download for years. The drivers Microsoft provides via Windows Updates are often not the latest release & usually incomplete, e.g., the AMD graphics drivers Win11 insists on.

mike, with bug fix driver updates, much like MS hotfix patches of yesteryear, are not pushed out to the general userbase as they may introduce other bugs or problems and are only offered by the builders if you are experiencing the bug they fixed. They work on the basis of If it ain't broke, don't install the update/hotfix. Frequently the fixes will be coded less efficiently so might reduce performance if installed on all end users and not just those experiencing the problem to be fixed.

This product offered all sorts of driver updates which were not being offered by Intel Driver Support Assistant. Not just minor build revisions but in some cases major version increases... I'd wager Intel Driver Support Assistant knows better than this 3rd party tool if a given driver is suitable for the current systems hardware and driver architecture! It did suggest a Realtek Audio driver minor build version upgrade that experimentally I accepted but it fixed nothing and enabled no extra functionality.

"You should check your motherboards web site and update when they release updates."

If you don't mind that they're often out of date -- OEMs need time to test them out -- and you recently bought the m/board that's cool. OEMs will only provide drivers for a relatively short time though, while the drivers they provide can lead to worse problems than something off a driver site -- the latest audio driver on the Gigabyte site for my board stuck Win10 in a loop.

Janos, run the program, click on update to pro, then copy and paste the key into the box provided Hope it runs for you!

Janos, where is the key i dont find it

Wakey, I reinstalled this software 4 times and 'Get Pro' never showed up on the screen. However, it does say it's the Pro Version, but the remaining days reads 28. Is there another way of entering key? I even tried installing the exe file directly from their website. Nothing changed...

Did you try disabling antivirus?

Grant, many thanks for the suggestion! I uninstalled, disabled Defender and Malwarebytes, reinstalled, added the license key, ran it with admin privileges and still had the same problems as before. 20 years in IT and I’m at a loss.

Wakey, that is very strange. I've seen A/V many times do funky things with files and apps. Not sure what else it could be. P.S. I love how I make a simple suggestion and get what appears to be 9 negative votes for usefulness. Kinda makes a guy say want to just say screw it and not attempt to help people here. Not talking about you, Wakey. Have a good weekend!

Grant, many thanks for your comments; it would appear that there’s something ODD about this software if other comments are taken into account. I totally agree with your ‘negative votes’ point: what is it with these people? We’re all trying to help each other, or that’s what I thought: anyway, you have a good weekend too: all the best from Lincolnshire UK!
