Giveaway of the Day Forums

   Okay, so I have a few Skype accounts, and I recently (around 21 days ago) got G-recorder from Give away of the day. Well, once upon a time, I started up my computer, and G-recorder is asking for the registration key! So I log in to Skype, and after it finds my id, it says that the registration key I entered (in the readme.txt file) is associated with another Skype ID (which is giveawayoftheday). Before this happened, it had giveawayoftheday as the Skype ID (so it didn't matter which Skype ID I used) and the registration key that was in the readme.txt file. A screenshot of what it looks like now is located here. Before, the 1st field was filled with this text: giveawayoftheday

   The 2nd field was filled with the license key in the readme.txt file. I still do have the readme.txt file, the installer, and the activate.exe program.

   I'm not quite sure if I can tell you the details, but I can tell you that on that day Activate.exe put a registry entry that changed the Skype ID G-Recorder uses to giveawayoftheday. Dig through your registry and change that value and you should be able to use the code again. (Hint: you'll need to know the developer's name and associated products).

   I found the registry entry, but still uses my Skype ID (or doesn't display one if Skype isn't running). Will try restarting...

   Delete the other two entries in there as well, and also make sure to allow the program to access the Internet, as it likes to check for licensing status on every startup (over-paranoid developer, if you ask me).

   I'm having this same problem and I really need some help :( I don't understand how I should edit the registry, and also, I have already deleted the readme.txt with activation key and such.

   What do you mean to delete the "other" two entries as well? I only see the two for Skype ID and license key... please explain...

   By the way, I've tried restarting... even though the registry entry hasn't changed, it is the same scenario every time, as explained above.

   Please help me, makers of G-recorder! (I'm too lazy right now to search up who made it.) I've been looking all over for a free Skype call recorder, and now the only one I had is gone! (Pamela only records for 15 minutes in free version.)

   We are sorry but there is registration flow and we cannot change it.
   It is described in the instruction included in the Give Away of the Day package:

   1. Run Setup.exe
   2. Run Activate.exe
   3. Enter deleted in the License dialog (accessible from G-Recorder tray icon menu)

   It looks like that some of the above steps was not executed, that's why for some users G-Recorder remained in trial.

   Please note that GOTD license has no free vendor support, it prevents installing G-Recorder after promotion day on another computers and has no free upgrades - these are official GOTD license restrictions.

   sorry for inconvenience,
   G-Recorder Team
