System Mechanic® Top Speed Tip #5:

Speed Up Your Hard Drive

Almost everything you do on your PC causes data to be written to the hard drive, and this data scatters into fragments that downgrade performance

Here’s how:

  1. Always begin by clicking Help » Check for Product Updates to make sure you have the most up-to-date version of System Mechanic. Note, the names and locations of tools may shift slightly between versions
  2. In the menu on your left, click Toolbox » Speed Up
  3. Find Program Accelerator and click Start.
  4. Your files will now be optimized as you use them, leaving you with a faster hard drive

What is iolo's Whole Home License?

The Whole Home License® is iolo’s licensing policy that allows you to install and keep your software running on all of your compatible devices within the same home. Previously, users were allowed to install and license their iolo software simultaneously on a maximum of three PCs. Under the Whole Home License, a single activation key allows you to use your iolo software on all of your PCs, other than any PCs you use for business purposes. What you need to know about Whole Home Licensing

  • You, your spouse, and your relatives living within the same household may use the same license on any number of PCs that you own which are not used for business.
  • For full legal terms and conditions, see https://www.iolo.com/company/legal/eula/

To install your iolo product on additional PCs:

  1. On the additional computer, download the latest version of your iolo product. Choose from the list of downloads offered here.
  2. Follow the steps in the installation wizard, and enter the same Activation Key that you used to install on your original computer.

You can view the Activation Key on the original computer from within System Mechanic > red menu bar > key icon > Activation Key.
