As I am sure most of you know already, Advanced SystemCare Pro is a popular system optimization/management/cleaning/etc. tool from IObit. While IObit may have some questionable tactics for their Internet Security 360 software, Advanced SystemCare Pro itself is fairly good software, although somewhat a RAM hog sitting in the background all the time (last time I checked it uses ~40 MB RAM while idle in the background but I haven’t used Advanced SystemCare Pro for a long time, so this number may no longer be accurate). Of course IObit has run multiple Advanced SystemCare Pro promotions in the past year, so you may already have a free 1 year license. However, it doesn’t hurt to renew your license or to grab it now if you don’t have it yet. To get the free 1 year licenses of IObit Advanced SystemCare Pro follow these simple directions:
Version being given out for free: v3.6.1 Pro
Free updates: Yes, for one year
Supported OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7
Download size: 7.5 MB
- Register at downloads.pcauthority.com.au:
- NOTE: If you took part in the Auslogics BoostSpeed 5 SE giveaway, you do not need to register again. Simply recover your password and that same account will carry over to downloads.pcauthority.com.au (you can’t reuse the same e-mail address anyway).
- Check the e-mail address you registered with. There should be an e-mail from “noreply@downloads.pcauthority.com.au” with the subject of “PC Authority Downloads – New Account”. In the e-mail there will be a confirmation link you need to click on to confirm your account:
- Visit the registration page and enter your downloads.pcauthority.com.au account information and hit “Submit”:
You will then be provided with registration details for 1 year free Advanced SystemCare Pro:
- Visit the promotion page and download the program:
- Install the program.
- After installation has finished run Advanced SystemCare, and register it so it goes from Free version to Pro:
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.
- Enjoy!

Thanks phoenix_rising!
Thank you for the info Ashraf. I had this before as a freebie but it expired. It will be nice to install this again with another free year.
A BIG THANK YOU to ASHRAF! i have been using the free version for years and it keeps my system at top performance! I HIGHLY rec amend this one if you want a clean reg and all around fast system. Im using windows xp pro w/sp3 , keeps this thing super fast. thanks again
Thanks a lot Ashraf for this.
Got it – I had an old password.
Thanks Ashraf!!
eWW..
Don’t forget to unhook your internet before installing the lic key and you will have it for life.
Do note, after you install ASC, that if your system is slowing down, it may be due to ASC updating itself and its various definitions (if you have auto-updating turned on, as is recommended). When that happens, I simply stop the process under Windows Task Manager and all is back to normal, and I have no issue when the program next updates itself. Note that this sometimes happens to me in the morning, even though I have set ASC to update itself in the middle of the night–sometimes, the process seems to take awhile.
I cannot go from free to Pro. I get as far as entering code F4B1-ACA1-A0FF-5DDA – it asks for account name. Is above correct code?

@John: I do not get what you are saying.
If you already have it and are extending your license, you need to do the following:
1) open program
2) go to Overview tab
3) under User Account heading, click link “Professional”
4) In the resulting popup, click “Install New License” and enter the Account Name and License code from this giveaway.
5) It should now update to show your expiration date of 1 year from now.
I am having trouble to get this free licence, i am logged into the site at the moment. I have installed the software and run it, but i have not received an activation email
Thanks for the info, Ashraf.
Unfortunately, no matter what I did I was not able to register as a new user. Maybe next time…..
@Ed: are you sorted yet mate?
@hipockets: Same here. Won’t let me register.
I got the license code OK, but do not have the Account Name that goes with the license to be able to go to Pro version. It gives the error message “Invalid license code for the account name”
@Everyone having problems: The “Account name” is given to you long with the license code at the promotion page after you enter your login information. Please use that account name.
I apologize. I went back and saw that the Account Name was given at the same time as the license code. Everything worked fine. I now have the Pro version. Thanks.
i can’t find the entry for registration,everytime it returns to the login page. Ashraf or anybody can help? or just tell me why .
Can’t get to Register from the Log-in page. Site hangs. Maybe too busy?
having a very hard time… says registared but can’t log in
and not getting any response for e-mail back to me – forgot password
have last years pro- need renew
HELP
@Ed: Before installing your lic code unplug your internet and it will be pro for life

thank you all for the tip on the user name. I completely overlooked that and only copied the license code. It’s a good think I haven’t installed it yet.
Also thanks to John. I never seen your tip but I’m going to try it after I finish a download. Have a nice weekend everyone
Dear Ash :*)
Just wanted to say THANKS.
Much appreciate the time & energy you put into finding all these promos.
Plus all the details & the step-by-step guides you provide.
No matter what some naysayers proclame on GOTD, we all learn a lot from you, and you keep us from making mistakes or installing crapware.
You just can «not» imagine how much 99.9% of us appreciate your work.
Just hope the constant barrage of those 2 or 3 malcontents doesn’t discourage you! Cause it REALLY shouldn’t!
Peace :D
just to follow up on my comment # 21 I read about and followed the tip of comment # 21 John. The result is my Advanced System Care is the pro version with an expiration date of N/A. Doing this will not allow for auto updates but you can always update manually. After reading comment # 7 Frank that might not be such a bad thing. I’m going to keep the install file and registration info. Maybe I can reinstall it later if I have to. Take care
Thanx-a-lot for the easy to understand & follow step-by-step guide to obtain & install this software.It was very easy to get ASC PRO for FREE thru’ you.
