With rare exception there's usually a catch buried somewhere in the TOS.What is it with this particular software vendor?īelarc might be one of those exceptions. However, I'm wary of 'free' programs originating from profit driven software companies. I manually check and grab software and drivers direct from vendors after an OS install as standard practice before I unleash the machine on myself or others. OS bundled software sometimes is 'generic' that isn't optimized for a particular hardware implementation.
