The installer contains no bundled adware, but will add a link to Ashampoo’s online store to your desktop unless you deselect the option to add desktop icons during installation. Ashampoo won’t sell your email address to third parties, though it may be used to send you ads for its own software (which you can unsubscribe from).Īfter clicking the email confirmation link, you’ll be prompted to create an Ashampoo profile by entering your name, day and month of birth and country, but you can skip this if you prefer and go straight to your license key by clicking ‘Not now’. To do this, you’ll need to submit an email address. When installing Ashampoo Burning Studio Free, you'll be prompted to enter a free license key, which necessitates submitting an email address (Image credit: Ashampoo)
