Laxative, By time I get a reply I will be in bed and when I get up will be too late to register. A great pity.

Laxative, don't worry, we'll give you that same license even after that giveaway expires.
So which Windows version did you install (32 bit or 64 bit) and was it the correct version? Perhaps you can try the other one. Go to www.kotobee.com/pricing and from there you'll be able to download the specific software (in case you had already deleted the GOTD bundle).

Ayman, Thank you very much.
1. I used the 32 bit, do not have a 64 bit system.
2. You do not specify system requirements, only a link, and it does not specify them there either.
3. I tried installing on my laptop — I do not want it on my laptop for various reasons, but tried it. Same result.
4. I then totally removed it from the laptop but still have everything on the main computer (downloaded zip file, unzipped instal file, full installation, desktop icon) and the regitration code in a special file to hold it till I use it.
5. I strongly suspect system requirements.
6. If I find your email address I will repeat all this there if no reply here.

Laxative, we did send GOTD the system requirements. Are you using Windows XP? We don't support Windows XP unfortunately. Which OS are you using?

Ayman, My guess was right. I am using XP. GOTD under ‘system requirements' simply put a link!
A great pity, as an author of sorts I looked forward to the programme.
I will delete everything. But at least thank you for answering and dealing with the matter, which is not always the case with others!

Laxative, sorry this didn't work out. If you happen to get a new Windows version, I'll be happy to give you this giveaway offer.
Thanks for your polite attitude, and also for replying to other people's comments/concerns.

Bob Dolph,

Isn't what you wrote a review?

Fred Sanders,

Yes, a review of GOTD registration, but not of the product performance itself.

Bob Dolph, for an easier workflow please go to:
www.kotobee.com/register?giveaway&gotd
and start from there

JJ , also if you can mention a few of those other publishing software that are cheaper and provide more, it would put things into context for us.

Ayman,

What I was comparing were created in Serif's PagePlus - several versions ago - the publishing is just a small part of the entire PagePlus package but it costs a lot less than your product. (Likely Serif's new Affinity Publisher will be cheaper than your product as well.)

I noted that your basic 1 user $100 lifetime license only includes upgrades for 1 year. That's not a lifetime license then - it's an annual license.

Also see Xara, Microsoft Publisher.

Then Smashwords will take a Microsoft Word document and create and publish an epub book for you ... for free - and list it on their site and distribute it also for free.

And then if you want to publish books / text as mobile apps - well there is game development software that a lot of people use to create visual novels as .apk or .exe - and some of them have tier pricing which means you don't have to pay unless you start making "real" money out of your products - so they would be free for most people - see for example Unity and Unreal. They have no limits on how many mobile apps you create.

JJ , You should have ticked ‘fit to page’, not ‘fit to screen’. That might perhaps have helped.

JJ , seriously? :)

I don't want to brag about what we're offering - I prefer our users to do that for us. But convince someone to go through all those different programs you mentioned to have a multi-platform ebook, (and wow, develop a mobile app on a game development environment lol) versus designing your ebook just once (or importing it) in Kotobee Author, then exporting it to all the formats you mentioned: epub, mobi, HTML5 app, Windows desktop app, Mac desktop app, Chrome app, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, SCORM.

We'll make sure to include a "dont show again" option in our next release.

Ayman, ...and do that within a month???!! :-)

JohnL, I can't promise that. Closing that window is a small price to pay, in return for all the free features you're getting for life.

Monique , if you want to delete your old account, simply email us at info@kotobee.com

The company shouldn't send an email stating that this user either does not exist, or has already been activated. Then after five minutes, they send the code for me to activate the software. This could confuse the user regarding activation.

Ayman, I never had an old account to delete. This was my first time downloading the software.

Monique , clearly that's a mistake somewhere. Can you give me your email to look into it?

Ayman, same problem here !!??

JardaH, can you please elaborate? I didn't understand.

JardaH, The system requirements are not even given on that site

JohnL, the license does not expire, but you will be able to download free updates for just 1 month.

Ayman, doesn't "All the options show as expiring in one month, so from then on you just get the basic program" cover that, or wasn't I clear enough?

JohnL, I honestly don't understand what you're saying.

To summarize, your license has a set of paid features that will last forever. Along with the license, there's a trial for "Kotobee Cloud" and "Kotobee Library" which would expire after 30 days. If we make a new release of Kotobee Author within 30 days, you're eligible for the upgrade.

Ayman, That's basically what I said in my original post. There's the basic program which keeps on working and assorted bonus bits that will stop in a month.

JohnL, ah ok, apologies for misunderstanding.

Ollie, read the software description. It is a lifetime license allowing up to 1 month of free software updates (upgrades).

Ayman, Strictly you appear to get more than updates for the first month, assorted other things too.

JohnL, here's a description of what you're getting, with the exception of 1 month of free updates instead of 1 year:
http://support.kotobee.com/en/support/solutions/articles/8000016872-kotobee-author-licenses

Scroll to the section saying "Kotobee Author Basic Licenses"

Ayman, I was saying you get more than one month of software updates (as you said), you get get other bonus stuff for the month too,

JohnL, yup that's correct!

William, did someone reply back? Which email did you send from?

Ayman,
I have responded to the 6:01 AM email, the 6:06 AM email and the 5:26 PM email each time giving my consent to delete the old account. I am still receiving the same error message when trying to register.

Ayman, I have now replied five times to received emails and given my consent to delete the existing account so I can register the program. Time is getting short and I will not be able to register the program before the giveaway expires.

Ayman, I started trying to get a serial number before 06:00 AM, this morning. It is now after 11:00 PM and still no serial number! Since no one seems to read the requested email replies that I have sent in accordance with the emails that I have received, I am forced to say that I recommend the FREE epub editor in the FREE program Calibre! I have used Kotobee and thought that there was some value. However, a company that fails to respond to the requested replies to emails and cannot provide a serial number for a program offered on giveaway of the day probably does not deserve payment for a program that does little more than free programs.

William, can't a man get a few hours of sleep :(

I've replied back and deleted your account. Can you please try again now?

Apologies for the delay.

What a pity. Sorry we've taken a lot of your valuable minutes to offer you a free license.

Calibre is great, if you'd like to be missing out on interactivity and exporting web/desktop apps out of your ebooks. Good luck!

Andy, what is the URL you are accessing?

Ayman,

I was able to write my email to get the download link and i did receive the download link. When I clicked on it, it gives me 404 error.

Andy, the link in the email worked fine for me ... although the server seems to be throttled ... took quite a long time to download the 204MB file -- reminded me of the days when we used to use a 9600 baud modem on the phone !! But the link does work.

JimC,

Sorry to say this but till now this link still gives 404 error

can we communicate through email to find an alternative solution?

JimC,

This GOTD is a generous giveaway from KotoBee.
I would be very disappointed to miss it. It's been error 404 till now.

Can you please offer me another way to get it?
Maybe give me a different URL to download plus the GOTD activation code?

Andy Yeo, email us at info@kotobee.com and we'll set you up.

Ayman,

Thank you, I just emailed to info@kotobee.com

Andy Yeo, ... hey, I'm not part of the give away! only posted to let you know that the link worked for me! Looks like they are taking care of you.,

Ayman,

Looking forward to trying your program. I do find it humorous that being an eBook creator all the people that commented so far seem unable to read going by all the questions you have answered so far. Thank You.

:)
