Freebie Details

This freebie comes with little information attached to it, so not much is known about it. However, from the freebie page and the license email, it looks like a perfectly legitimate freebie, so hop on it while you can!

• Version being given out for free: 10.0.4400.20 (latest version)
• Supported OS: Windows 2000+

First, go to TuneUp’s promotion page. You’ll be asked for your email and a retailer; for the retailer, you can enter anything.

Once you’ve entered your email and retailer, hit Get product key. You’ll be asked to re-enter your email, but once that’s done, the email will be on its way.

Now go check your email. With any luck, you’ll find an email from TuneUp giving you a link to a “personal product key”:

Clicking on the link will take you to the page with the product key and a link to the download.

Congrats! Now just set up TuneUp Utilities and enter the key into the nagbox to register TU2011.

Update: Thanks to Paul and Elliot for notifying me about the missing link! It has been fixed now.
