A rather cool idea to have all the different duplicate search aspects in tabs (same name, same size, same name-size, etc.) so I tested out both the lite (2010) and (shareware) pro (2019) versions:

Steps: Download, Uniextract2, and Launch HCCPro.exe

Status: Not portable. Writes to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Heatsoft

License: Adware/ liteware but the limitations don't seem too onerous:
Checking for duplicates in Multiple drives (Floppy,USB, Jaz Drive & Mapped Network drives)
Ability to exclude subfolders from checking for duplicates
Ability to save search criterias for quick access in future (like Favorites)
Ability to export search results into CSV file
Ability to Move files into a third folder
Not mentioned on the website is that the liteware version doesn't find partial similarities (e.g. if two text files have some but not all of the same content)
