New Reflect Free v7?
I thought Reflect Free v7 was due to be released before now. What's happened?

Macrium Reflect v.7 is only available in the paid version.
Coming soon! https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree
I have bought it, but you only get a single user licence which I use on main pc.
I use free version on my other lesser used devices.
Of course, you can always use a boot drive on any device but that limits functionality - not even sure if that violates licence.
An interesting one was Macrium told me you needed a separate licence in a vm.
I use hyper-v and of course you can just mount vhd on host as a drive, and use host Macrium install to image backup, and restore to another vhd.
I do this to significantly compact vhds more effectively than powershell opitimize-vhd command.
I asked Macrium about this and they conceded this was not violating licence.
I suppose the obvious answer is that if sales are good of V7 (and I have no idea whether they are or not) then it doesn't make economic sense to release a free version.
I looked on the Macrium forum yesterday and found a thread asking about the release date for V7. June was the answer as I recall. Later posts saying that date had been and gone were unanswered. Draw your own conclusions......
