I’ve used Disk Drill for the better part of 7 or 8 years, but am several versions behind because I wasn’t a fan of their “update” structure. That alone makes this bundle worth it.
 
Gee, I just upgraded Banktivity 5 to 7 and bought a 1 year subscription to Windscribe Pro this past weekend. A user of any one of those programs would have been making out well with buying the bundle.
 
interested in PDF expert/imazing 2.. are these licenses only for the initial version or are updates included (like buying off their websites)

From looking it up, it ain't that great for me anyway. In order to edit a PDF you need to sign up for the yearly subscription for $50. They call it Pro. I might as well just get Adobe's yearly subscription and be done with it. Maybe it'll be better for your uses though.

Remember Parallels is a subscription, so after a year you have to pay $80.

Not compatible with older macOS versions and Windows versions.
Is that specific to this offer, since Parallels is still a stand alone software, there IS an annual offering too, but I wouldn't expect this to be that one?

From the Stacksocial page, "Specs" tab for Parallels:

> Length of access: 1 year (then will be $79.99/yr thereafter, can cancel at anytime)
 
Is iMazing good for selective iOS backups (for example, if I only want to restore SMS and health data?)?

I think that might the extra toolbox stuff that isn't really required for the VM software to run. It's not the updater, but the extras stuff. They've made it all pretty complicated at this point. For me, I buy updates for ~34$ every few years and let it run 1-2 years.
 
what kinda weird conspiracy stuff is this- that code i posted for $24.00 totally worked. then it stops working and my post gets removed. Looks like macrumors wanted their code to remain on top.

I tried it and another poster tried it, and it didn't work. The code is for courses, not app bundles, so I have no idea how you got it to work.

(If the 60% off code worked, we'd be happy to promote it instead of our code.)

right on! maybe they detected i used it and turned it off. The promo code finder app Honey found it and I used it and then confirmed it again after purchasing to make sure my post was not in vain.
 
Yeah, it's possible Stack made an error and allowed that code to be applied to it and then saw your order come through and realized. :)

My first "hacking" experience then. :cool:

Also- super impressed by staff member response times on a post like this. Freakin love you Macrumors. Been a lurker for 10+ years and finally made a login.
 
Has anyone purchased this bundle yet?

I did, mainly for parallels, activation worked like a charm.. For RapidWeaver and Banktivity, both say the code provided is invalid. Ive reached out to StackSocial support and waiting their reply.. I haven't tried any of the other apps yet.

Just curious if this is a just me thing, or something more widespread.
