I've registered programs over a year old at this site. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2297#post-14606 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 22:33:45 +0000 RunesageMagik 14606@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Logomachist asks - </p> <blockquote><p>Does it need to be installed right away or can I wait untill after the offer expires to install it?</p></blockquote> <p>Sorry, my post might have sounded like a sales pitch, but I'm not a salesman. Suggest you call the # and ask them to clarify. I doubt they'd have a problem with you paying for something without trying it first. :-) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2297#post-14590 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 20:34:23 +0000 Logomachist 14590@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Does it need to be installed right away or can I wait untill after the offer expires to install it? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2297#post-14433 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:08:04 +0000 RunesageMagik 14433@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>For me, the Serif freeware version 6 is suitable for now, but note that v6 is a decade old product (according to the company sales rep)<br /> I got a link to their latest full version - <a href="http://www.serif.com/drawplus/drawplusx2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.serif.com/drawplus/drawplusx2/</a><br /> and their products store - <a href="http://www.serif.com/store/index.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.serif.com/store/index.asp</a></p> <p>FWIW - Anyone considering a commitment to a suite of DTP tools ought to compare it to others. If you follow K8's steps, d/l the free trial and register, they'll dangle an attractive 60-day free trial offer - mailed bundled boxed set of all 3 of the integrated v12 versions (the X series) - draw+, page+ and photo+<br /> The sales rep claims compatibility with all big name file extensions, even claimed it can mainupulate PDF files.<br /> If you decide to keep the bundle, the cost is $129, less than 50% of the full price for the three. That's pretty amazing considering I recall paying $70 some 15 years ago (when a dollar was worth a lot more) just for my draw package.</p> <p>Serif might very well be a candidate for GAOTD. They seem happy to give away obsolete but fully functional versions for the chance to give a one-on-one sales spiel to upgrade. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2297#post-14420 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 15:22:26 +0000 xboxgamer 14420@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yeah I just got my code.

This version looks like it's a much more advanced product, so thankew K8! </p> <p>They caution of potential download delays during the busy evening period, but forgot to mention that their registration unit is only open between 8AM and 4PM Eastern Time.
