Recall how I posted about IObit running a 24-hour only promo randomly between November 20 – November 27 giving out free 1 year licenses of Advanced SystemCare Pro? Well that promo has just started so get it fast!
To get the free 1 year licenses of IObit Advanced SystemCare Pro follow these simple directions:
- Visit the promotion page (click here) and fill out the form:
- Check the inbox of the e-mail you entered. Look for an e-mail from “IObit Support <krissy.only@iobit.com>” with subject of “Advanced SystemCare PRO License Code”. In the e-mail you will find a download link, your account name, and license code:
Keep this e-mail open because you will need to copy + paste the account name and license code soon.
- Download (click here) and install Advanced SystemCare Pro. Take note during installation options to add IObit to favorites and to install IObit’s toolbar are checked by default:
Uncheck them if you don’t want them (most people don’t want them because they are junk – I don’t want them).
- After installation, “upgrade” the Free version to Pro by entering the account name and license code you got in the e-mail:
There will be a short four step wizard to follow after you click “OK” to setup the new features you unlocked by “upgrading” to Pro.
Update: If you are having trouble successfully upgrading to the Pro version, try these two tricks:
- Disconnect your network connection temporarily, and try to activate Pro again. After successful activation, you can enable your network connection again.
- Try disabling your live protection anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall. You may re-enable it after successful activation.
Thank you everyone who has posted solutions below to try to help everyone out!
- Enjoy!
To those having problems to activate the license:
Before trying to upgrade, stop all ASC scanning by clicking the “close” button, but don’t close the ASC application itself.
I think the problem is that as soon as you click the “finish” button at the end of installation, ASC starts scanning your computer immediately. This appears to interfere with the activation process.
Didn’t read all the replys yet, but..
Already the promo page is not offering it free anymore. That’s 24 hrs?? I wanted it so bad & waited & waited for the promo. Big Waaaaaaa!
@Mike: That url hasn’t got the offer anymore either, neither did the current 1 when I tried many times about an hour ago til now. I just get a $ discount offer for it. Thanks, though. :)
Hey Ashraf!
I think we’d better warn everybody that this software installs a dangerous toolbar called “IOBIT TOOLBAR” on users’ browser!!
IOBIT TOOLBAR is actually a “conduit toolbar” classed as malware by most antispyware out there because it changes your default search page, buttons, toolbars and/or add ons!!

@Skye-hook: I just checked and all the various links seem to be working right now.
@Johnson: Don’t hit “REFRESH” like i did as it will revert to a one-year license only!
Yep, it appears to be over, the site says they were running out so now it is $9.99.
Bummer.
I had to uninstall it because whenever it was running, it disabled aero animations (minimize, open, close) but didn’t disable aero.
