Other giveaways store their "activate" details in sections that any user can modify.</p> <p>So as you don't know ahead of installing, how each application "activates" - it's just easier to <strong>always</strong> "Run As Admin" - and you should be ok in either case. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2015#post-12375 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:40:06 +0000 Niloy 12375@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>time is up to activate it but i did run it as a Admin. but i never had to run them as Admins before and they installed/activated just fine </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2015#post-12352 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 06:34:45 +0000 BuBBy 12352@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>It means the activation didn't work correctly - I'm guessing you are running Vista.

You can use the "Wizard" or the "Classic" mode.</p> <p>Using the Wizard - if the zip file contains a file like "setup.exe" it will automatically run that file and then close. It will not automatically let you see the other files inside the zip archive.</p> <p>With the GOTD download zip files - ALWAYS use the Classic mode - this just opens the file and you can see all of the contents - including the <code>Activate.exe</code> and the <code>Readme.txt</code>. If you extract or unzip all of the files into their own folder it should become much clearer after you read the README.TXT file for instructions.</p> <p>Also <strong>if you are running Vista</strong> (instead of XP) - you will need to right click on the Activate.exe and select to "run the program as Administrator". </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2015#post-12329 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 23:40:20 +0000 Buddyboy 12329@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>The two zip utilities suggested above are time limited, which I am not keen on. I have therefore downloaded and used Iceows 4.2 from <a href="http://www.iceows.com/HomePageUS.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.iceows.com/HomePageUS.html</a><br /> That is totally free for an unlimited time. It worked well, showed the three files that it should have and I now have the Democreator up and running. Thanks for the help. It remains unclear why one product works well for a simple operation and a reputable other one does not. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2015#post-12328 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 23:20:43 +0000 Buddyboy 12328@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I have been unzipping it with WinZip.

I downloaded and unzipped the files, but none of the resultant files include an activate.exe or readme file. Thus I can’t get it registered for use beyond the usual 30 day trial. Am I alone in this? Can anyone advise, please?</p> <p>I did post a similar request with the manufacturer but they promise a reply within 2 days! </p>
