Hi. I am interested is it v8.2 or newer?

The evidence strongly suggests the software development and primary company registration is based in China, while its sales and billing operations for the US market are handled by a third-party processor in Minnesota, USA.

If, like me, you are concerned about privacy and security, it can be difficult to have confidence in software developed in China and Russia, for fairly obvious reasons.

My apololgies to the company if it’s actually headquartered in the USA.

I prefer to use software that is developed and published by business’ that are transparent about this information.

That said, I did download the the program. I then performed various anti-malware checks and the software appears clean, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t collect personal information during its execution. I installed the software and registered it without problems. It appears a bit dated but seems to be fairly feature rich, and the Data protection roll-back is a VERY desirable feature:-

Unique Roll-back data protection Technology.

This technology is what provides the safety net against issues like power failures or system crashes during a partitioning operation.

How it works: It’s designed to secure your data and automatically restore the system to its original state if a disaster occurs (like a sudden power loss, system crash, or blue screen).

Cheers.

[@Fred] just look at the digital signatures on the exe and .api DLLs

Just do a search on the term “Panzhihua Bada Technology Co., Ltd.”

MOST of these giveaways come from communist China bedroom developers trying to earn more cash from capitalist citizens. Communist China only survives and grows by funding through selling products and services to the Capitalist nations cheaper than the Capitalists can produce them.

Note the .api files are common to MANY Chinese partitioning software examples… and the portable edition runs under Vista just fine and accepts the giveaway license but the license appears to be stored ON the running computer and not in the portable folder so the license will need to be activated on each PC it used on to use all features. So it’s not truly portable.
