"GREAT TOOL TO HAVE ON EVERY COMPUTER YOU OWN"
Version: Belarc Advisor 8.2g
Pros
It provides a quick and easy way to get a record of everything dealing with the hardware and some software probucts on your computer. It has even provided me with "License Numbers" for some installed programs that I could not find elseware.
I always take a printout with me when I need to take the CPU in for repair and then do a "new" one when I get it back.Cons
Absolutly none that I have ever experienced using if for many years on at least six different computers.
Summary
I recommend it to everyone I know as a lot of people are not even aware that it exists, let alone the programs capability.

"Easy to download,easy to execute,information invaluable"
Version: Belarc Advisor 8.2g
Pros
Gives you a wonderful analysis of what your computer has, as far as Hardware, and shows every bit of software and update to the window o/s that was downloaded successfully. The report was invaluable when I wanted to upgrade my computer, because it showed the hardware installed and I could evaluate what need to be upgraded first, to keep the computer performing in optimum condition
Cons
none that I have encountered yet
-

"Great product for a great price"
Version: Belarc Advisor 8.2g
Pros
Fast and accurate
Cons
Nothing to improve for me

"Pure Junk - It Doesn't Work."
Version: Belarc Advisor 8.2g
Pros
Nothing at all.
Cons
It seemed to install okay, though it did not let me choose which directory to install it to. That's always irritating.
When I run Belarc, a little window pops up that reads - Belarc Analysis. It seems to be working; it runs through three little substeps. Then it just vanishes.
I installed Belarc on my desktop computer and my notebook computer. They both have Windows XP with Service Pack 2. Belarc should work fine on both of them but it bombs royally on both of them. -
"An Inventory for your PC that everyone should have"
Version: Belarc Advisor 8.2g
Pros
Many Software license codes shown - lifesaver if you need to reinstall and have misplaced the original disks.
Hardware information you may need for future upgrades including motherboard and processor specifics. Print it out and put it in a file drawer, it might come in very handyCons
specific memory type is not shown (use CPUID for this)
Summary
Potentially Very usefu, both immediately and in the future.
