   I wonder if I could ask your expert help. I am relatively new to GAOTD and although I rarely download, I have a few GAOTD programs I use. Recently, I upgraded from Vista to W7 and everything was copied into windows.old. I don't know whether this is possible, but is there a legitimate way of moving the GAOTD programs from the backup/windows.old to windows 7 where I could once again enjoy them? I understand that one cannot re-install onto a new computer and wondered whether the same principle applies here.

   Thanking you in advance.

   Rule #7 in the forum rules states:
   

   Do not ask how to install/transfer/copy/backup giveaway software after the giveaway has finished. The only supported way to install giveaway software is by running the supplied setup and/or activate programs prior to the giveaway period expiring. Giveaways may be rerun periodically. If you "want it now" and like the software enough, you should show your support to the developers and purchase or register the software.

   One of the intended side benefits that comes with a purchased license - is being able to reinstall the software should the need arise. As GOTD has negotiated permission to distribute the apps for installation only for the duration of the giveaway.

   Outside of this, your options are purchase, wait for a rerun, or find an alternative.

   You could try contacting the developer and ask for a discounted license because you are upgrading windows. I'm sure they have heard more lame excuses than that before.
