dotTech Advice
Although Ashraf has never formally reviewed jv16 PowerTools, he has never been shy about showing how much he likes it:
Although never formally reviewed on dotTech, jv16 PowerTools is among the top-tier when it comes to system cleaning, maintenance, and optimization utilities. jv16 PowerTools is what I like to call a “focused” system utility. Instead of including a wide spectrum of tools, like some other system utility programs out there, jv16 PowerTools focuses on system cleaning, maintenance, and optimization features which range from registry management to privacy cleaning and everything in between.

Thanks. Feels good to have a more recent version.
To all having problems. be sure to unzip the xml file to your desktop. Keeping it in the zip file won’t work.
Then it’s detected during set-up.
I did place the file on the desktop, and did copy it into the jv16-folder. Still isn’t registered! Maybe I’ll try uninstalling it then reinstall. It is a great program–hope I can get it to work. 2009 registered with no problems. I uninstalled it before installing 2010 version.
Only opened email re this download this morning at 7 am EST, Feb 14. Downloaded program fine but when I clicked on download “the license file” was directed to a site ‘tipradar.com’ which said “nothing found for upload license _jv16zip. Help please. I think I’m still within the 72 hour time frame.
Deirdre, think the game is over. just made the test. -Not found. But worked fine yesterday.
@Bob Mason : strange. As soon as the lic is in the folder, jv16 even works as a portable app on other pc´s.
@Deirdre:
I am also in the 72 hour frame per the posted date (Free jv16 Powertools v2010! [72 hours only!]
Posted: February 11th, 2011) and I cannot get the license either. How will this be fixed?

I am about to give up of the ‘free’ sites because this seems to be continously happening now that so many sites have gotten into the rage.
I can imagine that TipRadar offered jv16 with delay, so “free” did not start on 10th but before.
TipRadar says: ” Giveaway ended. Thank you.”
Ashraf ,help!…..
@Don, cant find the limit “60 days”. jv16 even says the lic was valid on 5 pc´s.
????
Thanks Loutus, it seems to be a usefull, comprehensive utility. If it works out as good as it looks, it may well replace several other installed apps.
I downloaded & installed it on Friday, it registered but the license shows 5 computers, License Issued: 04.02.2011. This seems to be more like a 60 day “license” or a trial license. Can anyone help on this?
Why should it be a trial if it does not show that? -It just works.
@Bob Mason:
Hey Bob, you seem to have the same License number as I do. I guess all of us that downloaded here may have the same License number. I had emailed Macecraft in reference to the problem with the License a few days ago & I did not recieve a response. If it expires soon I will go back to the Free version JV16.
@Bob Mason:
I opened the license file & it matched what was “registered” on the software.
I recieved an answer from Macecraft:
Hello
What do you mean that the license is for trial? If there is shown license owner instead of count down, the software is a full version.
Best Regards
