Dear Lady/Gentleman,
Kindly I ask your attention.
Thanks about the GOTD Offer! :)
Just installed it!
Looks good, maybe some Themes changing will do it.
Good to have some programmers, How Do Only that and make some money by it. But, compatible with A LOT Different programs, WHEN I MEAN A LOT, PREFERABLY ALL.
WILL BE TO LATE TO TRY, BUT..
Why does it load so slow?
I have more hardware specifications to keep up.
?
Maybe the program should have some settings to let startup what's needed and to set What Will Not be needed.
Don't know.
GOTD & GOTD Offer, Have a NICE day yourselfs too! :)
PS: Have a happy work week & weekend! :)

Licensed. Easy directions in Setup folder. The download for activation did go into my Junk File so I had to sent it to my inbox. Looks interesting. Thank you for the Giveaway.

WOW! I have never seens antything like this. Great program.
Maybe I have not been looking, but this program does 1,000% more than I wanted.
I will check out all the ins and outs.
I would give this a rating of 99.
Highty suggest you try it.

No trouble activating. Looks like a nice and useful program. I was a little disappointed, though, that (as far as I could tell) there's no Entity-Relation Diagram setup. (Maybe I'll find it tucked away under some unfamiliar name.)

The registration was a bit challenging but I managed and will start to explore the possibilities. Fortunately I have a 3 screen arrangement here with one of them a 42" monster. This should give me room to be creative and still swap results around to other applications like PowerPoint and Word where I plan to use it the most. I expect I will need a few weeks to find my way around all the menu options but the joy of discovery left by the programmers is always rewarding.

Nice software! Went to the site to register and got the key emailed immediately. The readme has directions for entering the key. I was interested in doing network diagrams and noticed that while the template has router, switch, etc. shown, the available shapes do not include these devices. I do not see any additional resources available on the MyDraw site to supplement. Am I just out of luck, or am I missing something? Thank you.

Masmer, please can you tell me what is the site to register

If anyone has an issue with the 'get the activation key' page, there is a CAPTCHA below the name and email address. If you don't see it, you may have to change your browser settings (I use the new Edge and I had to turn off Tracking Protection for this site in order to see it).

Question - is there still a "professional" version? I searched the MyDraw website and couldn't find evidence of one. I have a GAOTD version installed that shows Version 2.0.0, license: Professional, Build date: 12/11/2017.
My version is obviously older and presumably has fewer features, but I'm wondering what the difference is between today's offer and the Pro version.
Thanks.
Save | Cancel
Hope2009, there's only one edition of MyDraw currently - the professional edition. So you don't loose any features with the new version. Its exactly the opposite, you get a lot of new features and improvements with MyDraw 4.3.0 compared to MyDraw 2.0.
Save | Cancel
I finally got it to register. When I copied the activation code from the GAOTD email there was an extra space at the end. I couldn't see it when I pasted the code, but it was there. Backing up 1 space fixed the problem.

Robert, you gave me the clue and did the same thing. Finally got it to register.

Wow. A very nice giveaway. Thank you MyDraw. I had an older version of this app for many years - up until my home burned in the 2018 California fires. Still, I gotta say, I liked the old version better, back before the days of the space hogging ribbon and side bars big enough to be seen from across the street, where I could work with a page and still see another app I was using for a guideline.

Kalmly,
Thank you for the nice words. You can easily hide the sidebar if you are not using it. Just click the right triangle buttons to the left of the side bar and it will be collapsed.

Wow, this has a LOT of diagram types, templates and shape libraries to cover a broad range of uses. Just start exploring under their "Resources" and "Features".
However, too bad they don't have a single-page site-wide "site index map" to reveal just how many pages of example, video tutorial, use cases, etc. that they offer. I can't find again just where I saw their page on the wide variety of automated display styles of hierarchical data for different purposes. You have to explore their website thoroughly to discover how extensive their support via examples really is.
(Ah, found it under "Features" "Automatic Layouts" -- amazing visual aids)
Thanks for this update from 2 years ago!
p.s. Unlike that previous time, I see no download link this time for MacOS. Would the download for Mac from the mydraw.com website work with today's GOTD license key? (If I find out myself, I'll report back.)
Save | Cancel
HMarx,
OK, finally got around to installing on my Mac. Without a download link for MacOS provided on this GOTD page (unlike the last time 2 years ago), I simply downloaded the installer (DMG) file directly from the mydraw.com website.
I then attempted to use the same license code as was originally sent for my Windows machine, but as TK noted (above) there is only one unique code per machine per e-mail address.
Accordingly, I then used the same URL provided in the README.TXT file that came with the Windows version to apply for another license, entered the different e-mail address for the Mac, received another code and it registered and runs just fine.
Thank you very much, Nevron and GOTD, for this great offer!

On Mac OSX mydraw 4.3 does not register if Visual Studio for Mac (Xamarin) is installed (this is a known bug resolved on version 4.2 with a special compiled version). There is no work arround. Version 4.2 for Xamarin from the vendor download link does not accept the license code from GAOTD.

Thomas,
At the Download page, click Download, than beneth MAC Download you will find the text:
For some Mac users the application may freeze due to reasons that are not under MyDraw's team control (related to Xamarin.Mac which is supported by Microsoft). In such cases you can download this version

Hello. I tried this version and the registration part would work, but it throughs "License activation failed" error message. I already tried yesterday.

This is a great product. I like how many file extensions are available. It does the job when mapping processes or designing new workflows.

This is superb software even though it cannot be properly evaluated in a few minutes or even hours. I would liken it to a friendlier version of Adobe Illustrator, not as complex but you can certainly work faster and more confidently. My use is strictly personal, but up 'til now I have been doing my posters, greeting cards, business cards and general whatnot with Adobe Photoshop. Now I can move beyond and get superior results with MyDraw, not to mention being able to work faster and use design templates for more reproducible results.
One note as a suggestion: click on "file" from the main menu and at the bottom you will see an "options" button. The second tab there allows you to deselect "automatically check for updates". MyDraw was very easy to create a registered portable version which means you can put it on a USB memory stick (pen drive) and take it with you. In all, my portable version ended up at 126 MB in size with all the templates.
Such complete and comfortable software I have never seen here as a giveaway. The authors are to be congratulated for such a fine product and thanked for this most generous offering.
Get it while you can, even if you don't see an immediate need for it. I am absolutely sure that you will eventual want to produce a top-notch garage sale poster or whatever and be happy for the tiny space it takes up on your hard drive.

PaulB, .... How do you do this?...

I followed the directions to activate... doesn't work...
I tried 3 different email addresses and all 3 key codes sent to me from GAOTD failed to activate. I also uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled to no avail... All 3 get a "Failed to connect to activation server" Http status Bad Request. It seems the keycodes sent from GAOTD do not work on the MyDraw activation server. The software looks promising but until the activation process actually works, it's not worth it.
Save | Cancel
Jim, I followed the activation steps and encountered no problems. Is there a proxy or a VPN you use by any chance? A firewall and an antivirus maybe? This may interfere with the server activation.
Save | Cancel
Vance, No Proxy or VPN, no firewall blocking it... it's not keeping me from the site, it's not recognizing the key that GAOTD sent me to register.
Save | Cancel
Vance, I have the same message "Failed to connect to activation server". No proxy, no VPN, just Windows 10.

Vance,
Same issue and I have no special connections.

errorsys, have you tried copying the code carefully to avoid an extra space at the end?
Save | Cancel
Jim,
I monitored the installation/activation in a win7 ult 32-bit V/Box VM. Looking at the added & modified registry keys from activation, there was an entry where a new inbound firewall rule was added to allow mDNS traffic. Could your firewall be blocking activation? What would happen if you turned it off temporarily to activate?
Save | Cancel
Al,
Mine gave the 404 error and I got frustrated after trying several times. Try closing the app and trying again. I did, and it was activated despite telling me there was an error. Weird...
Save | Cancel
Vance, UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: I paste the key into the field, looked for and extra blank field AFTER the key... there was none... BUT I thought WTH, what happens if I backspace the LAST number off? So I DID... AND IT WORKED... NOT REMOVING A BLANK SPACE, but removing the LAST NUMBER IN THE KEY... it activated just fine... So I'm good...
Save | Cancel
Jim,
Thank you for the tip. I wasted a good half hour fighting with the registration and its useless HTTP error - and when I used your trick, it worked perfectly fine.
A frustrating start...

Jim, for me I had to delete the invisible control character after the number and also the last number , then retype the last number, it then registered.

Jim, That fixed it as well! Awesome......

Hi, installed and licenced with no problems at all. Had a look around and it seems a really good piece of software. I was a PM and used Visio at work. This is at least as good as that and I think probably better. As I do not work now it is certainly way good enough for my home use.

как получить код активации? (Win10)
Save | Cancel
В.В. Мос,
How to get an activation code? (Win10)
GOTD downloads, contain all the information that's needed (could be off, don't know, never had that), READ THE README.txt files.
When not having done the registration online, you're to late. It takes an online activation and can be activated once with one license per system.
However, when the software is installed on the day of offer and have a license code, you might be able to activate it anyway after the GOTD. Than it does and than it doesn't! :)
Next time, write in English. It will go faster, nor that there will be other reactions that can be.
Good Luck & Enjoy the next GOTD's! :)
PS: Have a happy workweek & weekend! :)

darres,
As mentioned above:
Start the program, start a new project.
Than a windows will open, click at the left upper icon to get a drop down menu, choose About.
Now put in the activation key.
Might still work, activations aren't always needed to put in the same day! :)
Good Luck & Enjoy! :)

An excellent program that perfectly converts Visio files to dxf format than the Visio program itself.
It should open GED files that can be exported from "AgelongTree" ("Tree of Life" - so called in Russia).
