I was beginning to think that the time of the free promotional keys was gone when I spotted yet another promotion at Tip and Trick. This time it is possible to get a free key for PC Tool’s Desktop Maestro 2 software that usually retails for €39.95 (that’s Euro, multiply by 1.6 to get Dollars). Desktop Maestro features several system tools that fall in the cleaning, optimizing and protecting category.
Desktop Maestro 2 offers three functions in the main menu. The first is scanning the Registry of the computer. A run on my system found 1880 problems that were listed in several categories like Custom Controls, Startup Programs and Add/Remove Programs. Each entry that was found was classified with a priority from low to highest. The second function can be compared to programs like CCleaner. It’s called Privacy Guardian and deletes temporary files and settings like the history. This section is divided into five parts including Windows, Browsers and Plugins.
The optimize button finally leads to a page with system information and three ways to optimize the system. It is possible to compress the Registry, defragment the hard drive and click on a Optimize the System button which apparently adds some tweaks and patches to the Windows Registry.
Several free programs can do the same, if you already have them installed there is not much need to install Desktop Maestro. If you want to take a look do the following.
- Head over to this or this url and enter your name and email to receive a free license key in your inbox. Then download the version of Desktop Maestro that was mentioned in the comments at the Tip and Trick website, the one hosted at Depositfile. Do not download it from the PC Tools website because your serial number will not work with that version.

I downloaded this and attempted to enter the key that was sent to me, however, it is not accepting the keys!
Do you know of anywhere else I can download the file “desk—maestro-install.exe” as mentioned on Tip and Trick? I am not able to DL it from depositfiles.com and as you mentioned, the files on the PC Tools site won’t work.
Thanks,
S.
Here is the link on the Tips and Tricks site for you guys too lazy to go there

Vash,
Not being lazy. As I mentioned, I am not able to DL the file from that site. This is due to the ads links and javascript required on that site which won’t work with my setup.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a different DL site I might be able to try.

The first link does work but the second link does not work. Anyway thanks for this program. It fixed 684 problems on my pc :-P
OK, I was able to get the file by selectively allowing img2.depositfiles.com within NoScript.
FWIW.
And I’ll second what rruben said, I received the name and license key from the first link but didn’t receive anything from the second.
