Installed the program today 7/13 . . . no problems.
When I went to activate, error message pops up and says: "Giveaway period for this product is over". OVER? The Giveaway period never started! So how can we fix this?

Hi snapwood,
Is your clock set correctly?
Try deleting the giveawayoftheday cookies which can be found in the internet cache. Sometimes they become corrupted and may cause such a message to be thrown up. also try rebooting your modem and/or router.
Sometimes that error appear when the GOTD team sneak in a newer version of the giveaway - usually to fix problems that were discovered once the giveaway began. If that is the case, I'm guessing it is to fix the problem a couple of users reported of having no sound at all after installing the software.
Anyway - the error message is basically saying that that "version" of the setup file has expired. If you download the giveaway again, hopefully (fingers crossed) you should be just fine.
The activation goes through without delay - good luck.
