   1AVCapture - today's (29.06.11) gotd will expire on 1st of August, 2011 when you will be forced to buy the software in order to continue to use it.
   I think GOTD team should response to this immediately, after all this kind of behavior is against sites policy.
   I must also add that PCWinSoft Systems ‘s programs expired in such a way in the past too.
   So if you do not want to be left with just a trial after 31.07.11 than DO NOT DOWNLOAD today’s GOTD app.

   Hi,vipum, where did you find that this giveaway "will expire on 1st of August, 2011" ?
   Please give some evidence.

   I haven't had this problem in the past with PCWinSoft Systems ‘s programs.
   It could be that your installation didn't activate correctly or that the reg-key was stuffed by e.g. a reg-cleaner.

   vipum is right. Set your pc clock to august 2, 2011 as I did and start the app, it now says your trial period has expired! A true scam program.

   Hello graylox
   I suggest that you do a simple little test (like Buzz already did) :

   • Install 1AVCapture (If you already did than just go to next step)
   • Change your system time to December 10, 2011
   • Run 1AVCapture
   • Now change it to July 31, 2011
   • Run 1AVCapture
   • And finally change system time to August 1, 2011
   • Run 1AVCapture

   I do these kind of “tests” since one of my favorite app reverted to trial: 3D Ebook Cover v1.0 (May 20, 2010).
   ---------------------------------------------
   About your second “comment”
   Here’s a short list of PCWinSoft Systems's apps that I installed and are now useless:

   1AVStreamer v1.8.5.11:
   03.08.2010 -> 04.10.2010

   1AVMonitor v1.7.8.11:
   17.10.2010 - > 18.12.2010

   1AVCenter v2.1.1.11 (April 13, 2010) is the only app from this company that is/will be activated permanently.
   Let me say that I do not use reg cleaners. Never ever.
   Activation(s) for all the apps that expired were done correctly and the registry keys were/are still present in Windows registry. So logical conclusion is that company(s) gives GOTD and us software that is time limited. Shame on them. I guess they think nobody will check time period and GOTD users will be pleasantly suppressed when after certain time apps expire.

   I’m sorry for such a long post but these problems are troubling me for some time and I needed to get it out of my system.

   Well...even 1AVCenter reverted to trial over here,so I guess vipum is still one of the lucky ones. :)
   And yes today's AVCapture revealed to be a trial when trying to use it on a date in the future.

   Anyway,thanks to the impeccable system repair options of 7 ,I was able to revive my older version of AVCapture.
   Using Revo Uninstaller I was amazed by the crap left behind after running its uninstaller though.

   Waiting for a rerun of both programs...(lol)

   Hello.

   I represent PCWinSoft. The reverts of trial are due to a mechanism to avoid piracy. It was incorrectly measured and turned into trial for wrong cases like yourselves. The idea of the mechanism is to avoid that the license gets distributed for free.

   PCWinSoft is indeed concerned with staying true to GOTD users and therefore I as the representative am making arrangements with GOTD team to provide permanent keys to GOTD users.

   I will possibly post here soon about the solution.

   Works like a charm for 1AVCenter.
