Apple Offers TechTool Deluxe Download for AppleCare Customers

Apple has posted a downloadable edition of Micromat’s TechTool Deluxe, which is normally available via disc to AppleCare customers.

Apple describes TechTool Deluxe as “a powerful diagnostic utility that allows you to test your computer’s critical system components, such as the processor, RAM (random-access memory), VRAM (video random-access memory), the hard disk, and more. TechTool Deluxe can also repair your computer’s disk structure and rebuild its directories as necessary.”

To use Apple’s download link, you’ll need your Mac’s serial number, which is associated with your AppleCare account.

    The post on the Apple site was 9/5/2010 – but I suspect someone has misunderstood the intent or implies that somehow the “tool” is generally available to folks. It is not, unless you are a current AppleCare protection plan customer.

    Note what Apple says:

    If you purchased AppleCare Protection Plan for your Mac and need to download the latest version of TechTool Deluxe, please enter your serial number below so that we can validate your coverage.

    Important: By downloading and using the software, you agree to the terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement, which is available here.

    My Apple Care coverage expired in 12/09 hence I can’t use Apple’s site. But, I can assure you when I was within the coverage term – I was able to go to the site and download the latest and great update.

    Cheers.
