Macrium Reflect Free Still Works (For Now)


I downloaded the one from major Geeks
I could not find this same version of free anywhere that had the hash showing for comparison so I do not know if this file is actually untampered.
THIS FILE "reflect_setup_free_x64.exe" a picture of its details is shown below

Major geeks did not post any hash info I did go to the link that BREE posted and I tried to find the lastest free version. I have not been able to find macrium free for a while it always says its free but then it contradicts itself and says its a TRIAL so I do not know what is free and what is trial. THIS secure boot and UEFI and GPT format these are the caveats for me. Creating a boot flash that will boot up on a windows system that is setup for UEFI - that is what we all need to work. I try to get people to buy macrium but if they will not then I use a free version. I will go in an download the latest trial and create a boot flash. If I do not buy macrium I am not sure if that version on the bootable flash that I create will still restore a disk image file after the trial period has ended. The full version of Macrium is well worth the 80$ image guardian and file folder backup make it worth it. So I implore people just buy it. !
ANYWAY
I found Macrium free version 7 on the link that bree posted ( these had hash numbers ) but I could not figure out what versions of Macrium are free or a trial. When Macrium says its free but then also calls it a trial I do not know what part is free and what part is trial.

All references or links to to 'Reflect Free' have been removed from the Macrium Website. Anything described there as 'free' is a 30-day free trial, which reverts to a 'RESTORE ONLY' version when the trial ends.

The truly free Reflect Free v8.0 (and v7) is still on their download servers, and can be downloaded direct from Macrium if you know the right URL to use. Also available on their download server is the Reflect Download Agent (links at the bottom of this post). This comes in a variety of names, ReflectDL.exe, ReflectDLHT.exe, and ReflectDLHF.exe, for example. They are all exactly the same .exe. It is unusual (unique?) in the fact that a hidden parameter that determines its behaviour is the name by which it is run. When named ReflectDLHF.exe (DownLoad Home Free) it will download the latest version of Reflect Free (v8.0.7783) with a choice of 4 options, 32 or 64 bit, with or without the PE components.

I have just used it to download the latest 64-bit Reflect Free (installer only) and got a file named v8.0.7783_reflect_setup_free_x64.exe. It's SHA256 hash is the same as yours, so looks like Major Geeks is the real thing.
