Unfortunately, we had to drop Mac OS X 10.6 support in MachineProfile since Apple's Mac App Store no longer allows the submission of applications that contain a 32-bit architecture. Sorry for the delay to your posting.

— Still scary! Avoid this by downloading via MacUpdate.
More than one way to skin a cat! Should have done this from the get-go---Open app & get updates. :)
I am particularly thrilled that it supports Snow Leopard, as well as the more recent OSes. The ability to do this shows the high level of expertise that Micromat programmers have.
Besides the obvious uses, it is also is handy to have in Deploy Studio Netboot Sets. That allows us to quickly get information about the unit that is about to be imaged or under test.
However, there is one area of information, that would be handy for it to include, that it does not. It would be really nice if it included information about any drives in the unit.
For any hard drives, or SSDs, it would be nice to know their capacity, make, model, and interface. For optical drives, it would be nice to know their type, make, model and interface.
But still, a great program.
With respect to the ability to download controversy. The download link provided above, by MacUpdate does seem to work. But, I have a MacUpdate account, so what I get may be different from what someone without an account gets. One can understand the concern, as MacUpdate has been accused of substituting their own installers, which may install extra, unwanted, stuff.
However, Big Johnson does seem to be correct. I went to the Micromat web site, and I was unable to find a download link that did not require one to submit information, or use the app store. If it does exist, it is well enough hidden that most of us would never find it.
Obviously, Micromat does have the right to do this, even if many wish that they would not. And if this were a piece of junk, instead of the high quality program that it is, I doubt any would bother to complain.
Check the link before assuring us the app is available.
The "Free" link at the bottom of the page leads to a page with a "Buy" button and a price of "FREE." http://tinyurl.com/qfmg8nj
Click the Buy button and you're taken to a Cart page. http://tinyurl.com/2sz3m7
Click the Checkout link and you're taken to a page where you must register, including your name, address and product serial number (how am I supposed to have a S/N for an app I don't have yet?).

So Micromat, obviously your definition of "free" means "in exchange for your personal information."
NO THANKS! THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE!
btw:
The MacUpdate Download Button is working, the App is free (and no personal information was asked.) It trys to phone home on port 80 (maybe to check for updates and/or to fill the last page "learn more")
I just tried again and nothing has changed.
MU often hosts files on its own servers, thus circumventing the downloading of additional crapware that may be added to an app, and providing a direct download to bypass a developer's website.
That doesn't excuse Micromat for requiring registration in order to download their free app.
The "Free" button leads to your online store where there is only a "Buy" button.
Th Buy button leads to a Cart page where there is a Checkout link.
The Checkout link leads to a Checkout page., where you can either login or provide your billing information.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
