Thanks for very quick response.

I was in trouble, because I had changed computers several times, reached the license limit.

I contacted support , resolved immediately.
Previous unused licenses have been deleted.

At first, I thought that even though I purchased a "Lifetime upgrade", I could not use it for a lifetime, but the "Lifetime" name was real.

Wrong licensing model for software that you use on your notebooks.

MiniTool's licensing model for this software is fundamentally flawed and customer-unfriendly. Once installed on a machine the license becomes permanently linked to that hardware, effectively wasting it after a single use.
This means when you try to migrate to a new notebook, you can't, the software became linked to your old notebook. That's why I bought 5 licenses, but even that has the end. Finally to move stuff around my own notebooks, I had to pay 159 eu.

It should be possible to manage licenses online, similar to what VMware and other companies offer.
I shouldn't have to beg support or wait for their mercy to use software again.

I have moved on to other software (paragon) and using this only on one notebook for now. I can't depend on software that will stop working one day because it was linked with some disk that's in the trash now.

MiniTool only reacted after this review was posted, offering to unlink my licenses. This doesn't change my opinion.

Hi Petar,
Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the inconvenience. A 5-PC license can be used on 5 computers. If you use the license on a sixth computer, you'll receive an error message. When the priviously activated computers do not work any more, you can contact us to release the license from the these computers.
MiniTool Partition Wizard supports many functions, such as moving/resizing partitions, changing the cluster size, cloning disks, etc. Some advanced paid versions even support the data recovery function. For the license usage, it depends on what kind of license you choose. If you have any issues using the program, you can contact us at support@minitool.com.

Looks sketch.

Based simply off other reviews and their sketchy looking website, I'd say strongly avoid. Also look at their trust pilot implementation at the bottom of the page. It says 690 reviews with 4.8 stars... on trustpilot its 60 with 2.4

Edit to their response; this response explains nothing. And the fact that you said my review isn’t show on your website only proves my point further.. why would you show a negative review bashing you on your site…

Hi Tyler,

Update: sorry for not explaining clearly. The claimed profile www.minitool.com collects both service review and product reviews. Service review is placed on www.minitool.com which integrates all our products and this product review is placed on www.partitionwizard.com since these 690 reviews are all for MiniTool Partition Wizard.

It solved a great issue

I needed to assign some unallocated space to an existing drive, but the built-in device management app couldn't accomplish this because the drive and unallocated space were not contiguous. After trying various software solutions without success, I finally installed MiniTool, and it proved to be the perfect solution. Not only did it successfully allocate the space, but it also performed the task more quickly than any process within the built-in app.

I have enjoyed the features of partition wizard and have a full membership. However what I dislike is the constant badgering from minitool marketing to try or buy new products. I am quickley beginning to hate it. I have asked them to call off there marketing dogs to no avail. If they don't stop the crap marketing I will delete there product and block them from being able to contact me. I think it is a poor way to do buisness there Minitool. Leave me the hell alone

WARNING MALWARE

WARNING. This website may contain serious malware. Downloaded DBAN, only to find out that it contained a virus that pretends to be a legitimate piece of software, (WMI). This malware causes the CPU to run up to maximum making it impossible to use any other application.
Fortunately AOMEI came to the rescue, which enabled me to perform a full restore to an earlier time. Also take a look at the Trustpilot review box at the bottom of the home page, looks fake to me.

Dont Use for anything

My C drive was originally 100GB and was running out of space because my drive was split into 3 parts by the makers of it, I took the extra space from the second partition and added it to the first partition, This worked however I can't access the 2nd partition anymore, I would have to re-format it and that would delete everything, having me to redownload everything.

The Data Recovery has no Auto Save

The Data Recovery has no intermittent Save that many software that deals with complex processes have such as Premier Pro. Consequently, if anything happens during the Data Restore run, you have to restart the entire process.

In my case, after 2 weeks of continuous running night and day, the recovery was only 32% finished when, for some unknown reason, the computer rebooted (Windows update?). If I was only 32% finished after 2 weeks that would mean that it would have taken a month and a half to complete and God help me if there was a hiccup at 99%.

I refused to play that game of trying for weeks over and over again just because a simple Auto Save was not put into their software. I have asked for a refund.

Works like a charm!

Works like a charm! i used the free version for extending my c drive in windows 10, It was not possible for windows disk management to do it, as the unallocated space was not adjacent to the c drive.

I made a terrible mistake

The free version made my computer unusable, the solution they proposed forced me to buy the pro edition—making it essentially ransomware—and it didn’t even work! Worse than garbage
