@7 - Just for the record, I choose to boycott developers like this (and there are a few of them out there) - I would never "Rent Software". Sure it is acceptable to offer updates and new features for a 12 month period after purchase - (and require a "license renewal" at a discounted rate - to extend the eligibility for updates) - but to disable or "switch off" the software when your 12 months is up - is completely unacceptable (in my opinion).

Provide good service and improve the product - make *THAT* the reason why users want to support the developers for another 12 months - not because the developer has time-bombed the software to destruct once the software parking meter has expired.

ACCORDING TO faq ON 360Amigo SITE
Q: What happens after the subscription expires (one year normally)?
A: 360Amigo System Speedup features will be inactive. In order to renew your subscription, please visit our website shop to purchase a new license key.

Q: At the expiry of the present license, do I pay a renewal for another year and get further upgrades?
A: Yes, if you choose to purchase a new license or renew your existing one. Cost of the renewal will depend on whether the licensing is commercial or Educational/Non-Profit.

Q: Why lifetime license are not available?
A: We do not offer lifetime licensing as it is self-defeating and leads inevitably to poor customer service and slower product development. The reason for this is that as the pool of available customers shrinks with time and competition, companies who allow lifetime licensing are eventually forced to focus myopically on revenue generation at the expense of customer service. As we are in this for the long haul, subscriptions and renewals allow us to focus on product development and support having sufficient resources to service all customers quickly and efficiently.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
(p.s GAOTD bit sloppy not mentioning this)

I have used the free version of this program some time ago and it was far too vigorous for my liking.
It upset my system to the extent that an Acronis Image Restore was the simplest way to restore the status quo.

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculously overpriced. The idea that I will have to pay $20 to use this product for JUST ONE YEAR is plainly stupid. Glary Utilities, CCleaner, Advanced SystemCare Free--just to name a few--provide better services than this.

Paying a yearly rate is only acceptable for things like virus software where I am still using the company's services to update it with new definitions. Paying yearly for non-updating, poor software where free alternatives exist is a JOKE.
Definitely give this one a miss. The software isn't inherently bad, but the pricetag shows the developer is dreaming and all of its features are surpassed by free versions.
