Which full version would you recommend buying?

2.21 or 3.4... Please also tell me why. You know Pro's and Cons.

Also what do you think of this particular diagnostic software, do you have other recommendations.

Your opinions mean a lot here.

You do know you can download it for free don't you ?
But if you intend to buy a disk from them to support them I'm sure they'd be grateful for the support, and just to check your getting it from the right site their site is >>>Here<<<.

As to versions, not sure where your seeing v2.1 ? v3.4 is the latest release and the one to get, the only decision you need to consider is if you intend to deal with Linux systems or not, if you are NOT intending to deal with Linux then you only need the basic version, if on the other hand you are intending to deal with Linux systems as well then you will need the full version, both disks are the same, except the full version has extra files for dealing with Linux, otherwise they are the same tool.

I've been using it for years now, but I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do, I mainly use it for hard drive diagnostics as they have all the drive makers utility's on the 1 disk making life so much simpler, but everything included on the disk is free in it's own right as well, but for the sake of scrambling around trying to make sure you have got all the tools you need, these good people have already done all that for you, and I believe there are instructions on their site for adding your own tools you may want to include to the disk as well, so it's an outstanding utility saving you a lot of messing around, if you have anymore specific questions you'll need someone more used to the software they include, it just depends exactly what you want from it I guess, but I wouldn't be without it as I know if I end up needing something then it will probably be on the disk, hope that helps a bit.
