License for AOMEI Backupper Pro is one year only, not lifetime as stated. No thanks.

In my opinion it's a type of software program you would purchase for a lifetime a one year license just does not interest me, but thanks anyway.

I don't see the version number that's offered today. As someone else stated, we were offered 6.6.1 a few months ago. The website is offering 6.9.1 as the latest version (see the changelog). I assume that version is part of today's GOTD.

I can say from experience that Aomei saved my data and my sanity once before when I was dealing with imminent failure. And while, like many, I don't care for a 1-year license for most things, I think this is a generous offer. I also think it may be worth $40 to purchase a license after a year of data protection for some people -- maybe not for others.

One problem I've seen with Aomei is the poor handling of a lack of space for my backups. I don't like the idea of deleting a full backup before starting a new backup, and Aomei seemed to choke at handling this space issue for me. I could never get the settings tweaked perfectly to avoid this issue. They offer another utility for space management -- I can't recall what it was called and was frustrated enough to use another software altogether at the time. But because I know and trust this company well enough, I will grab this offer today and switch my backup routine back to this software.

Another issue with the 6.6.1 version we got from GOTD is a weird mouse jumping issue. When on the main screen, clicking any icon makes the mouse wildly jump to different parts of the screen, and even outside of the Aomei window. It's a frustrating nuisance that never happened with the free version.

Positive note, I learned a lot from the documentation on the website and was nicely prepared for an impending crash. I was able to get my new machine set up and running in a couple of hours. This is coming from a non-professional and one who is only mildly tech savvy.

In addition to comments #27 and #29, it does seems something is messed up with the Give Away of the Day notifications. In the past, the daily notifications came early in the day, now they seem to come at random times, sometimes late in the day, even at the close of the day, or after the offer has expired. It would appear to be an issue within this website (GAOTD), and/or its management/administration.
