   I'm getting a connection error. I even turned off my firewall, Zone Alarm, and still get the error.

   I get an error with both the online and offline activation.
   On-line:
   "Connection error!
   Your firewall might be blocking Activation Wizard from accessing
   the Internet. Please check your firewall setting or try Offline
   Activation method instead."
   Off-line:
   "Cannot process request at this time."

   Offline. New aspect for the SAME computer.

   "Invalid server activation data.
   Please ensure that you have tranferred the entire response data
   from the other computer and pasted it into this wizard accurately.
   without omitting any characters!"

    this has been added to the download page:

    "Important! Activation server at Diplodock is up and running atm, you can activate the software.
    Also, please do not repeat activation attempts every second, there is no hurry, Diplodock informed me that the software activation will be valid for 24 hours after the giveaway period., that makes 48 hours total activation time."

    maybe this will help you all.

    This is a SCAM download.

    Beware.

    This is a SCAM download which - by it's setup - encourages the user to de-
    activate their virus and firewall protection.

    Beware.

    Thank you.

    Don't they test software to make sure that:

    1. It's not bogus software
    2. The activation of the software (if required) actually works

    Perhaps try the free alternatives at: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/684/page/2?replies=48#post-16220

    Moyea has grabbed pretty much everything I've tossed at it, has the grab-while-viewing mode if desired- and both it and the dvdvideosoft items are regularly updated. Free.

    anyone else notice it's the same company that supplied Password Generator 2008?

    Seems a server problem of diplodock activation. Last giveaway with this activation module worked perfect.
    I also couldn´t get the website for offline activation to load in my browser.

    Website now works but sloooow. Can´t process at this time - blaah.
    I´ll try again tomorrow.

    I tried to do the offline activation method and they also say cannot process now..try later. I'm going to leave this installed but not active and try again later. Hopefully they will ready to handle all our activations then.

    Having trouble activating today's Giveaway, like many other GOTD users, despite the developer's 'backup' activation method; no joy on either computer. I thought it was simply the last-minute rush but after checking the forums and finding so many derogatory comments on today's software, I realize the problem is in the program, not my network. (Whew!) THANK YOU to all who posted!

    If this ever activates, I get the feeling that it will work until the next patch Tuesday.

    Guys I didn't even try to download this program as I use Ashampoo's ClipFinder and it is free. You can download from an url, you can search through the sites they provide etc. http://www2.ashampoo.com/webcache/html/1/product_2_0055__.htm

    They DO require an email addy and some people consider them spammers but I love it when they send me free offers of 6 older full versions of some of their programs. They even send you one for your birthday. :) The older version of their Burning program is awesome. So just use a google/yahoo account.

    I am having the same trouble trying to activate this program using both methods. I have been trying to activate it ever since it went onto the download page yesterday. I'm glad that I didn't pay for this program because even if it does all the wonderful things it says that it does then it would be a waste of money if you can't even activate it so you can start to use it. I really wanted this program too.
