Works well, but its nagware/adware.

Update: Found Office 2007, XP, and Internet Explorer, and HP OfficeJet. Seems also to work with multiple (batch) machines on a network, which could be invaluable for admins.

The 'NagScreen' is a little bit intimidating.

Good catch -- I was looking at the program history page (http://www.klinzmann.name/licensecrawler_history.htm) but it appears that's out of date, with the most recent release this year.

A bit more digging and it looks like the program is also freemium, needing to buy a basic license to:

* Disable the commercial pop-up.
* Blacklist and whitelist filter support.
