New power-user home use license

Dear Home Users, with the recent release of version 3.2, our all-in one security software, we introduced a new license model, It included a new feature set for the “free-of-charge” home user license.Through the feedback in the bulletin board, it became clear to us that the new model did not fit the needs of the “power home users”, who provide valuable support to other end users, as well as important feedback to our R&D team. We have decided to provide a new “free-of-charge” power home user license (equivalent to the Enterprise Edition of our product) to qualifying UBB users.
