Free Commercial Software - Legally!

This was originally posted by jiffener a while back, but I just HAD to post it again! You can get free software legally at www.giveawayoftheday.com. They post one every day, but you have to download AND install it within the 24 hour time period. They have some really great software there, with no spyware.

they must have worked out a deal with the software developers.
it would be silly for them to public announce free softwares without their producers approval (lawsuits... many of them)
I haven't seem too many ppc software drop by however...

I've downloaded a few of the programs. Usually there is a small activate program included and then the actual program installer. Other than the 24 hour install timeframe the apps all appear to be full working apps. So far the offerings have been mixed. Still a nice way for smaller developers to get their software out to people. There is also a game a day give away site (http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/) from the same people.

I've downloaded a few of their programs... some are really good! The problem for semi-newbs like me is that there is no help support, so you are on your own with the software..... but free is good, and if you really have too much difficulty with a program, just flush it!

Surely the words "time-limited offer" say it all. There's no such thing as a free ride in this life. Things that appear too good to be true usually are.

The time limited offer only refers to the time that you have to obtain the free software... 24 hours from the moment it is posted until the moment they post the next free software...

It does NOT mean that the software is only free for a limited time....

Once you download the software, it is yours to keep forever...

And each software is a full copy... not a limited version, not a trial period only version...

So go and have fun!:approve:

Out side the box i am hard pressed to find people that will give away their home or car. Why do we want to give away work? So we can secure space on a PC? Sure it forces more memory upgrades to offer more space for the work that pays for the mortgage and car so not a bad thing as long as people do not assume everything is free ... that gets expensive.

Peace,
