   Because I had to reinstal my OS, I wanted to reinstal a Give Away Program. How can I get it activated after the Give away date is past?

   Thanks for any help you can give

   Unfortunately you cannot. One of the conditions of the giveaway is that the "activation" of a program can only take place while the giveaway is running. When the giveaway is over - the software will not register or activate for new installs - as the giveaway servers are then configured to activate a different program (the next giveaway).

   You options are either - contact the developer and purchase a permanent license (that allows registration after an OS format - or transfer to a new PC). Secondly go back to the comments page and there may be other similar free programs recommended by other visitors to the site. Finally, occasionally a giveaway might make a return appearance (perhaps every 6 to 12 months) - you can wait and hope - but of course there is no guarantee - and it is possible to miss "the day".

   Ressit, I can't help you with what you've already lost in having to reformat/reinstallation, but along with what BuBBy suggested, my recommendations found here http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4270#post-46091 can help you for future ones. Of course one always has the option to buy the software to get it back, and such, but if money is short for such things, then consider using my method (which I am sure many other people do and have been doing for a lot longer than I have). :)
