Hi Daylight,
Every giveawayoftheday program needs a htpp connection to the activation server of gotd to unwrap itself and to continue with the setup or activation of a program..
Things that prevent activation/setup in most cases are:
-if you’re using alternative browser, for some reason your IE could be set to work offline.
- “setup.exe” or “activate.exe” failed to use a htpp connection because your firewall blocked them
-proactive application monitoring prevents the wrapper to connect to the server
-setup/activate was run outside the 24hour limit … or the giveaway ended too soon.
-the file was locked because it was still in use by another program
-the activation server was temporarily unavailable
As to your question, I’m afraid the answer is no.You cannot use the zipped or unzipped gotd file from a previous giveaway to run setup or activate again,even if it did fail to connect the other day.
Still,if there are a lot complaints, in some cases the Gotd team might consider offering a rerun on another day.
