Very impressive software that contains a suite of tools that will repair and maintain your hard drive, along with utilities to backup, benchmark, etc...
This is one of the few products of its kind that I trust to fix my hard drive when I am having problems. Many of the other products on the market today just duplicate Disk Utility and on occasion can do more harm than good and leave you with a drive that you can't access your files.
We'll be happy to help with this issue. Can you pleas submit a Support request so that we can get all of you system details @ https://www.speedtools2.com/supportform.php
I gave the URL provided with my original purchase in 2006 another try. Logged on without a problem and downloaded the Zipped software file. This time it turned out to be the latest 3.6 version.
It asked for a serial number and I got a nice Thank you! after entering my original one. Up and running without a hitch.
I haven't received my full version yet although I am happy with the software from using the demo version. The strange thing in this day and age is that they send you a cd/dvd and don't have a download link. How strange is that - haven't come across a company for a long time that does not have a download facility. Strange no one has brought this up before. For example diskwarrior who send a disc have a download, so does drive genius and so does Techtools. Why not Intech? I've downrated by one star because of this ancient last century policy. Also 4.5 was the maximum I was allowed to enter on stability. Would be interested to hear from others who have dealt with this company
Thank you for the kind review! Intech is working with OWC on a mechanism to provide downloadable versions now. So, hopefully this option will be available in the very near future.
Faith is restored. I just received a very nice note from Eric at Intech - with an explanation of the situation around 3.6. I though I would share Eric's note with all. Thanks again Eric.
"I looks like someone found our hidden product page for this upcoming version release and posted the link to MacUpdate before our website was ready for to go. This update was going to be released in mid December - which was going to allow us time to finish the site, the demo and new purchase/support options. Since the new version is now public knowledge, we'll be making changes throughout the site (in real time) over the next couple of weeks to reflect everything that is new. But until then, there will be information on the site that has not been updated.
Note: When you login, notice that there is now a serial number just above the download link. Starting with this version, SpeedTools Utilities will now require you to enter this serial number the first time that you run the application. So, please write it down while you are downloading the version.
We are sorry for the trouble that this caused. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me."
I just finished downloading 3.6 and in the process of installing. Wow!!!!
I got a reply within one hour and got the instructions on how to get the free update of version 3.6. Everything is working fine. So just follow the link in my previous comment and send an email with your order number and you get the instructions. :-))
Now I see that current unavailable is display. I contacted OWC and asked for their contact information for INTECH since they are a resellers. At first they gave the stock links that did not work, etc and the same contact info that has been posted here. They even gave me their Tech support site link for INTECH. This did not work either. They got more friendly over the four or emails and did apologize for not having any other contact info to provide - This all was form the Customer Server Mgr at OWC.
At this stage all I want is my free upgrade to 3.6, a new serial if needed for it, an acknowledgement from the INTECH to its customers who have hung with them for years, and maybe an explanation of what exactly is going on.
I'm trying too to get my "free update for life" Not easy to get into contact with the company, but today I managed to submit an email via their so called Customer Support on http://www.speedtools.com/Contact.html. I will let you know what comes out of this.
I have written a number of emails, support tickets, etc with no response as of yet.
They are not making it easy for existing users to upgrade to this latest version. You should be able to login to your account and download as per normal; however when I do this all I can download is the 2.8.1 version.
There also has not been any communication (again) that I have received about this new version - just by chance saw it here.
All of this could have been handle a little better I would think but I am giving them the benefit of doubt.
I just want my "upgrade for life" update to version 3. Can they keep their word??

Has anyone been successful in getting in contact with these folks to see how us registered users for life are supposed to be this new version???
This is really poor communications on the part of the company - actually both since neither post anything (lately) about upgrades.
