Hiya. I have installed and uninstalled, restarted my computer, and anything else I can think of. Every time I try to run the activation application, it freezes. I think it's a problem my computer just has right now, because I am also having difficulty with a couple of instant messenger updates. Anyway, I figured the way around it would be to install it on my other computer and get the key that way, since I was under the impression that I could install on multiple computers. I burned the zip file to a disk and installed it in the other machine. When I tried to activate, I was notified that the free giveaway had expired. So, I'm out of options, unless someone can just give me the code. I did download it yesterday, and I was also under the impression that I just had to activate it before the end of the trial period, not the end of the day. This is my first experience with GoTD and so far I am unhappy. :( I realize it's probably no one's fault, but is there SOMEONE that can help me? Otherwise I'm just going to delete this and do NaNoWriMo on Word.

If you have already activated the software on one computer, as you said - go to the "Register" option under the "Help" menu and the registration code will be displayed.
Write this down and you can use this on your other install of LSB.
As far as getting help on providing the actual activation codes - that's not allowed. Sorry.

Uhhhh....yeah. The problem is that on the original computer the activation application freezes. So I can't get the code. I know where to put it if I had it. I think I was very clear that I have not been able to activate at all. Otherwise, I would not be here asking for help!
*sigh*
And the game I downloaded today...same problem. My computer does not like the activation thingy. SO this site is useless to me! *cries*

I downloaded Liquid Story Binder Yesterday. It took two tries because the first file was corrupt. I didn't have time to install it after that.
Today I installed it, but when I tried to activate it, I got an error message that says that the time has expired.
If you do not give me enough time to download, install and activate the software, it really is no good to me. Could I get an extension?Thanks.
VladamirI might mention that I am in a third world country and the internet service is not the best. It is not your fault that the file was corrupt or that it takes two hours to download.

I empathize with you, Vladmir! I tried to put it on my other computer today since I couldn't activate on my laptop so I could get the code for both...and...nope!
Guess we are SOL.

Surely "third world countries" have the same number of hours in a day as everyone else?
How many hours do you want there to be in a day?
I've missed out on giveaways that I wanted for myself because I forgot to download it until the last minute. Sometimes I've managed to activate after the deadline (by 15 or 20 minutes) - I'm not sure if this is always the case, or I was just lucky on the day. Either way - it's not something I want to rely on.
As much as I'd like to blame "missing out" on my slow internet connection - if I started an hour earlier, it wouldn't be a problem. ;)
I guess the moral is - get in the early hours of each giveaway and check (or subscribe to the email or RSS notifications) and then allow enough time do download and activate, (or apply for membership to the GOTD procrastinators club)

I downloaded mine at least 4 hours before the deadline. The application just froze every time. So procrastination wasn't my problem...although my computer problem isn't yours.

By the way, what is this procrastinators club and what does it entail?

I'm not sure - I've been meaning to announce our first meeting, but I haven't got around to it yet. Think I'll do it next week. ;)
