FastCopyFastCopy license & editions: free vs Pro
FastCopy is free for personal, non-commercial use at home. Use in workplaces or any commercial environment requires a Pro license from FastCopy Lab, LLC. The software is provided "as is" with no warranty — the standard edition lacks several verification and mode features that Pro includes.
What the Pro edition adds
- Perfect Verify: re-reads both source and destination (standard Verify only re-reads the destination).
- The "existing" operation modes (size/date and newer-date).
- FC verify-info validation for detecting silent data corruption.
- A "move (no overwrite)" shell-extension option (v5.10+).
License restrictions
- Reverse engineering is prohibited.
- Pro licenses cannot be lent, transferred or sub-licensed to third parties.

Activation and license management
Licenses activate online with a key, or offline using a machine ID on a connected device. Since v5.7.0 the new license format survives OS reinstalls — the machine ID is unchanged, so you can simply re-activate after reinstalling Windows, swapping the SSD or replacing the motherboard. Keys can be checked on the official license summary page.
