I was using a hackintosh setup and while their DRM was part of the problem, my set up could have contributed to it as well. I was having a good deal of trouble with it’s licensing and DRM set up. I stopped using iDefrag about 5 years ago. I have used iDefrag for many years and in truth I find no fault in the way it performs - mostly. I am not pleased with this developers idea of customer loyalty. I look forward to some help, as my work is halted until I finish defragging some drives, and I'm wondering if I need to budget 28 hours of computer downtime per 650GB of hard drive defragging :-|
