PCMate Free EXE Lock 8.1.0 - software and third-party notices

PCMate Free EXE Lock is free to use. It provides password-controlled execution permissions for selected local NTFS executable files under the current Windows account. Original executable contents and signatures are not rewritten.

The manager must be kept while any protected executable remains locked. Unlock all protected executables in every profile before uninstalling. The uninstaller checks with the manager and refuses removal if it cannot establish that removal is safe. User vaults, encrypted recovery backups and existing brand.ini are preserved. Retain your password and current recovery backup. Administrator access and other copies or Windows accounts are outside the scope of this convenience lock.

Lucide icons retain their ISC / Feather MIT licenses. Bundled Microsoft .NET runtime components retain their Microsoft licenses and third-party notices. Full notices are included in the Licenses folder. No guarantee is made that security products will never produce a false positive.

RelevantKnowledge is separate optional research governed by its official visible Agree / Decline interface and policies. PCMate Free EXE Lock works without RK. RK collects browsing and application activity in the background; we may be paid if you participate. Silent main installation skips the RK invitation entirely. Declining, skipping or a download failure does not prevent PCMate Free EXE Lock installation. If you accept RK, manage or uninstall it separately in Windows Settings > Apps; removing PCMate Free EXE Lock does not uninstall RK.

This notice does not limit rights granted by applicable third-party licenses.
