Scott, badly managed unsubscribe lists where one unsubscribes from a marketing email from a company and they use that list of unsubscribers as a company wide do not send list rather than just for what the end user unsubscribed from... Or a sender my use some dodgey mailing practices so their SMTP relay is flagged on industry wide spam relay block list and gets blocked by your ISP or their servers fall over due to bad coding or undocumented blocking of the use of certain email providers without telling you upon form submission.... The possible reasons could be endless!

Brian, When I installed this version, it didn't uninstall any MP4 video converter Platinum.

Stewart Wallace, MO mention of license duration means nothing... you can infer what you like but it implies nothing. There has been cases where vendor reps and giveaway of the day INSIST a giveaways license is lifetime but on rolling the system date forward a few months to a year the license deactivates because even theough the vendors license server still will issue the license upon request the local program refuses to accept the license beyond a definable date. Only solutions to those conflicts of information is to use Nirsofts runasdate utility to make the license operate as announced.

TK, whoops that's NO not MO.... wrong glasses (should have gone to specksavers)

Stewart Wallace, Did you read the sticky #1 comment FROM THE VENDOR?

"Step 5. In a few minutes, you will receive an email with an annual license in your mailbox."

NOTE THE "annual license" in that sentence!

TK,
TK,
From my email reply >

"Thank you for your registration. In appreciation of your support of AnyMP4, we send you the free registration code of Video Converter. Please enter the following Email address and Registration code to activate this software."

and nothing about 'annual licence'.

Stewart Wallace, so that's a no you did not read the vendors own first post of the giveaway where they already announced it was an annual license so had no reason to repeat it ad nausium...

Happy new year from UK!

TK,
Yes I DID read it. And also the readme file in the download >

Terms and conditions:
Please note that the software you download and install during the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:
1) No free technical support
2) No free upgrades to future versions
3) Strictly non-commercial usage"

Both that & the email appears to contradict/supersede it.

Stewart Wallace, how can you think a non-statement contradicts or supercedes an actual statement by the vendor themselves?

No comment cannot supercede an official announcment in a sticky comment by a vendor representative...

For starters the readme.txt file is produced by the giveaway team with limited guidance from the vendor... if the vendor does not specify license duration in those instructions then nothing apears there and normally nothing about license duration ever apears in the readme.txt file. The fact it is mentioned in the public posting means it is the case that the vendor considers it an "annual license" which is more notifcation than we get with some giveaway vendors. An annual license means a license that needs to be renewed yearly so a 1 year giveaway license as there is no entitlement to license extensions after the 24 hour giveaway period unless otherwise stated and as you point out other than their comment #1 license duration is not mentioned elsewhere. Let us know in a years time if the license expires or not! Or confirm it to yourself and us by dialing your systems date forward a year and a half and see if the product remains activated and the license remains valid. I cannot do that test as I took the vendor at their word and did not install this temporary licensed giveaway as I have many other compitent video converters whose licenses do not expire.

MartyToo,

Happens all the time my friend.

Lau,

From the app's web site: "AnyMP4 Video Converter enables you to convert almost all 4K / HD / SD video formats, such as 4K H.265/HEVC Video (*.mp4), 4K H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video (*.mp4), WebM-VP9 4K WebM Video (*.webm), AVI, FLV, MP4, WMV, MOV, 3GP and so on."

Chasm,

The ways it works with most all video converters that have been offered on GOTD, you can use the full features forever, but can never upgrade/update. If you opt to buy the program, then you get a year's worth of updates. The image you've kindly provided shows what may be the pre-existing nag screen & they've simply added the get free key button because that's the fastest/easiest way to do it.

Could of course be wrong assuming that AnyMP4 Video Converter is like all the others, and free upgrades for a year would certainly be nice, but even if the app quit after a year, you'll surely have the chance to grab more of the same on GOTD several times before & after that year's up.

Chasm, I would assume that after one year, the product will go unregistered, and if you want to continue to use it, you will have to buy a license.
