Or some other website might offer a trial version, try googling it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3388#post-32033 Sat, 31 May 2008 13:19:06 +0000 copmom 32033@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>gary: Seems like you have 2 choices.. go to the office today and download it there, or try it at home and if you like it, then buy it for the office.</p> <p>The offers are not just to give you a 'test drive', they are normally full working versions of the programs .. then if upgrades are available, perhaps you might want to purchase that. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3388#post-32028 Sat, 31 May 2008 12:58:39 +0000 garyvdh 32028@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>sorry... and when I say "you" obviously I am referring to GOTD and not you in your personal capacity! :) ;) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3388#post-32027 Sat, 31 May 2008 12:57:34 +0000 garyvdh 32027@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Lee for the "stock" answer, I know it is for personal use, but surely these developers would love to sell some of this software to the corporate world? Or are they only marketing to the non-profit environment? Their corporate website looks ... well, very corporate to me. As I understand it, part of the purpose of GOTD, and part of your "sell" to the developers is that we users are given a chance to test-drive the software with a view to us making an actual "purchase" of the official program. Your decision to give this piece of crucial software away on a weekend was either deliberate or poor planning. If it was deliberate, and there is a legitimate reason, then I will accept that. But if it was poor planning, then all I am asking for is a little bit of fore-thought the next time around! Thanks for listening. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3388#post-32015 Sat, 31 May 2008 11:22:27 +0000 Lee 32015@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>It's for personal use and not for a profit making organization, so maybe that is why it was upped on a Saturday. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3388#post-32003 Sat, 31 May 2008 09:57:12 +0000 garyvdh 32003@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>This application is ideal for my office environment, but I won't be able to install it on Monday. Who's idea was this to give it away on a Saturday? I wish you could re-release this for us on an office day. Or does the developer not want us to be able to test it in a commercial environment? </p>
