emperor,
You should not sign out unless that's not your computer. Why would you sign out anyway? If you don't sign out then you can simply run it next time even when you're offline.
With this account, you can simply use Saola Animate on any computer by just signing in.

Jerry, Thank you for the suggestion of not signing out. Please could you clarify for me, when we sign in, are we signed into the program, into your web site, or into both?

emperor,
You just need to sign in into Saola Animate, not on the web.
When finish using, just close Saola Animate, donot sign out so that you won't need to sign in the next time you start it. And you can still use it when you're offline.
Signing in to the web is only needed when you want to update your account or subscribe to a commercial license.

WaitWhat,

adif, the signing in is automatically like that of Office 365. You can even use it when you're offline. You just need to be online once in a while.

adif, I signed in only for the first time (for activation an older version - about months ago) and this installation is as "update" for my older ver. 1.0.3 - without activation or new sign in now (I am signed in "forever" :-) )...

I mean in the program - not on their web_page ...

Jerry, once I sign out (on top right) the program becomes 14 dayz trial.
To early to tell how all this will affect practical work.

adif,
Yes, but why do you need to sign out? Just let it signed in, and you can use it the next time you start it even when you're offline.
You just need to sign out when you really hand over that computer to another person.

Denise,
You can change installation folder when installing.

Thank you George!
That's what we're looking forward to too!

Gerd, Maybe a cleanup of your Windows will help(ccleaner).
And is there enough space and access to the storage-map?

Ootje, its a nearly fresh system and I don't believe in cleaners or similar programs. There is also enough storage space available. Or what do you mean by storage-map?

Gerd, OK, you do not believe in cleaners.
Do you empty the recycle-bin?
Do you empty the folders of Windows with all the residues of earlier use of Windows.
This folders can be found in the explorer with %temp% (type also the %)
The left-overs can complicate/influence a new installation of a new program.
Therefore empty them after a clean start of Windows. And after this operation, do also a restart. Then you will know that Windows will work properly.
Storage-map: the GOTD-program has Preferences:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tszda5e4x7qr2a9/Preferences.png
Is that map/folders accessible for the program?
And is your Windows capable to handle HTML5 animations ?
I found a site and the second and others works on my Windows:
http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/

Gerd,
Can you please send us an email to support@atomisystems.com with a screenshot and details about the issue so we can help?
Saola Animate uses hardware where possible for rendering so it might have problems with some specific hardware. That can be resolved by changing rendering mode.

Ootje,
You're kidding right? CCleaner that was recently discovered to contain malware?
https://www.howtogeek.com/326742/ccleaner-was-hacked-what-you-need-to-know/

Ootje, cccleaner was recently hacked and embedded with malware. Using third-party programs to maintain your computer is not very smart and usually results in more problems than solution.

CPU-MD, Not CCleaner was hacked, but the installer of CCleaner was hacked.
And also they think, that only some big companies will get any harm from CCleaner:
https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/ccleaner-malware-hacking.html
And only the installer of the x32-version(v5.33) was hacked, and that version can not be downloaded any more.
So if you use the updated version, nothing will be harmed.

PaulW, can you give any detail about the message?
On this Win10-64 it worked fine.

PaulW,
Is your Windows capable to handle HTML5 animations ?
I found a site and the second and others works on my Windows:
http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/

Ootje, I've just checked, and it seems to run them fine.

Ootje, It just says it has stopped working, this is before it has finished loading. I checked to see where has been installed on my c drive and for some reason it 's in stalled under Program Files rather than Program Files (x86) where 64 bit programs are usually located. I've tried moving it and repointing the shortcut to the new location, but that hasn't worked. Setup doesn't seem to allow me to choose where it is to be installed, that's is this is the problem.

PaulW, "for some reason it 's in stalled under Program Files rather than Program Files (x86) where 64 bit programs are usually located."
There is a mistake in this remark.
In the old days, when Windows was only 32-bits, there was only Program Files for all programs.
When Windows 64-bits was born Program Files is for the installed programs(x64) and Progran files(x86) was for the program's that were only for 32-bits Windows(compatibly-mode):
--
On 64-bit versions of Windows, 64-bit applications install to the Program Files folder. However, 64-bit versions of Windows also support 32-bit programs, and Microsoft doesn’t want 32-bit and 64-bit software getting mixed up in the same place. So, 32-bit programs get installed to the “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder, instead.
-- text from: https://www.howtogeek.com/129178/why-does-64-bit-windows-need-a-separate-
program-files-x86-folder/
Also some info here:
http://www.samlogic.net/articles/32-64-bit-windows-folder-x86-syswow64.htm
"Setup doesn't seem to allow me to choose" In my Windows I did get a screen with a choice:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/261303ctqzhkr1t/Setup.png
I do not see any problem coming from these items. There is something else wrong.
You can try to get a demo from the site of the maker:
https://atomisystems.com/
There could also be something wrong with .js. The files, that are made by this program, have the extension .js, javascript. You can test if this part is ok:
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-javascript-enabled
And at comment #24 there is a response of the builder of this program. Send him a mail with screen-shots etc.

Hi Ootje, Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I misunderstood which folders were 32 bit and which were 64 bit programs. The article was helpful.

I've tried downloading the demo and installing it but i have the same problem.

I checked my browser using the link you provided and my java script is enabled. I'll have a look at the comment by the builder of the program.

Thank you.

Dave Marshall, You should have a link on your desktop...also the software is installed here: "C:\Program Files\ATOMI\Saola\Saola.exe"

Stefos, I have Windows 7 64 bit!

Stefos, Fixed it my virus software was blocking it.

Stefos, maybe it's your antivirus. Read the readme text of the gaotd installer

TK, 10000% agree! 95% of the world is rural, and internet access is extremely limited in too many of those locales, and actually as well as too many urban areas for PC users. I am extremely interested in this software, but it's worthless to me if I have to be on line just to use it! The description does not state that net access is necessary, so you've saved me download and uninstall time. TY! Also to the developer, you might say so in the description! That is my suggestion!

TK, I also agree...LOL, I tried posting a similar comment early this am in idea informer and it never showed up..that and allow to make/export animate to GIF and be able to sell animations if wanted...maybe they block great ideas..lol

TK,
Signing in is automatically like that of Office 365. You can even use it when you're offline. You just need to be online once in a while (a month at maximum).

Jerry, and what happens if their site is down or out of business or changes domain name? lifetime license means lifetime of the ability to sign in which can be removed with a major version update.... no thanks.
pure offline edition is a must.

TK,
This giveaway license doesn't allow major version upgrade. You can use 1.x versions only.

It's your choice to take it or not. That's what this giveaway offers, take it or ignore it.
It's very simple as that.
I personally think it's already a great bargain when you use it for 1 year, of course just in case you really need a software like this. It's pointless if you don't really need it.

FYI, Atomi Systems has been around for more than 8 years now.

Jerry, I never said this giveaway license did allow major version upgrades but what if your managment decided that there was a security vulnerability or some other reason that felt legitimate to them and so decided to depretiate the login protocols used by this version and so only a major upgrade version was able to login anymore we would have to either buy a majot upgrade or cease using the giveaway version license since it would revert to a trial either way.

FYI staying in business for 8 years does not mean it will always remain in business under like minded managment, many multi-decade old businesses have failed this century... and others have been bought out by competetors who then dismantled the competition or brought their technology in house and abandoned previous products. I could provide explicit examples if you don't believe me.

TK,
I don't really got your points here. What would you lose if those worst scenarios happen? Did you have to pay something???
If you always go with such worst scenarios then you can also say that the earth may be exploded one day.
Again, if it's not suitable for you then simply ignore it. Why did you bother to comment when it's not about the software features or functionality? BS>

Jerry you said,

"TK,
I don't really got your points here."

ok then the rest of your comment has no relevence and you just descend into a weak personal attack anyway.

Software Functionality of Saola Animate 1.1.0 is limited by the need to be signed in to a 3rd party internet server from time to time and that already is not always possible and cannot always be assured to always be possible in all scenarios. Therefore it is an undesirable software feature! As I said in my original comment the truth of it remains regardless of your remonstrations.

Rick Woodbury, the price quoted in the information panel is $99.00 which is the lifetime license as shown on the https://app.atomisystems.com/ page. And stated in bold font in the description above.

Rick Woodbury,

You just need to follow the directions in the readme.txt file closely. It works. You need to go to a couple of different webpages listed.

Rick Woodbury,
This giveaway license will never expire.

You can put the code after signing in at https://app.atomisystems.com/giveaway

Michael, Did you bother to check the system requirements which tell you the program is 64bit only?

See the image HERE




.

Michael, Your x86 pc may accept x64 software. There is no harm in trying...will not harm your system. This is how I managed to "discover" my pc.

aba, in what universe will true 64-bit executable run directly under a 32-bit version of windows... It requires a 64-bit shell in a 64-bit operating system to load and run a 64-bit executable, you should have "discovered" that!

haxer, you should read the system requirements before downloading:
System Requirements:
Windows 10/ 8.1/ 8/ 7/ (64-bit only)

alireza,
Gaotd has used wrappers from day one.

Basheer , NOT true sometimes the vendor requests that no wrapper is used and then the unwrapped installer is included in the zip bundle with the readme.txt file and other times the installer is unwrapped and there is a wrapped activate.exe/gcd combination.

alireza, yes the wrapper is used with this giveaway, if you cannot get it to work on your system you could also try downloading the unwrapped installer from the vendors download page and following the activation process in the giveaway bundles readme.txt it *may* accept the giveaway license since the description implies the lifetime license may be valid for minor version updates by saying no major version updates included, therefore this installer should not be a special giveaway build, of course this suggestion comes with no garantees except it won't work on a 32-bit system.
