Giveaway of the Day Forums

   Until now, I have never had an issue with registration of software from this site.

   Yesterday, July 14th, around 11 p.m. EDT, after checking the comments several times throughout the day, I installed Folder Marker as I did with the other 15 to 20 applications I enjoy from this website. (d'led, opened file, read the "Read Me" file, closed other running apps and installed by clicking the "Set-Up" portion)

   Security asks if I want to allow communication...I "allow" and get the little "GAOTD activation successful" but w/ no registration info because it wasn't supposed to be necessary. Installation goes smoothly, or so it seemed.

   Then, as always, a browser window opened to the Giveaway page that indicates:

   "Folder Marker Home 3.0 activated -what next? ...Please tell your friends and colleagues about us...note they have only 3 hours and 18 minutes to download and install their copy of Folder Marker Home 3.0...."(http://www.Giveawayoftheday.com/folder-marker-home30/?activate)
   (I have an image of this confirmation page on Imageshack, with the FM3.0 icon in the background desktop, if that helps....though doubtful.)

   Yet, when I booted up to use the software today, my copy of FMarker, says it's a 30 day trial, instead of being registered to GiveAwayOfTheDay. My antivirus/firewall application has a rule that allows the FM3.0 and allows activation /communication with GAOTD. I've never had a problem with registration in the past. Please help me if there is a fix for this. Did a registry key "end up with the wrong data"? Since it was installed and activated during the proper hours, is there a piece of information, somewhere on my hard drive that might need to be moved?

   Thanks for reading and any advice would be appreciated. I did write to Arctic Line, but due to the "No Support" status, I'd be surprised if they helped me.

   Try this first if you haven't.
   On the top menu click on the “Help” tap, A sub-menu opens and click on “About.” A box will open and the name Giveawayoftheday should be in the box. Then it should be registered.

   Messenger, thanks for the tip. I had already checked there and it was marked "Unregistered Version". I did try clicking register and using "Giveawayoftheday", but no luck...

   HOWEVER! I'm very pleased give a big thumbs up of thanks to Roman Rudnick, listed as one of the programmers of Folder Marker.

   Above, I wrote:

   "I did write to Arctic Line, but due to the "No Support" status, I'd be surprised if they helped me."

   Well, I was wrong. The next morning in my e-mail was a pleasant and helpful response from Roman, giving me the data I needed. Because it was installed during the correct period, it is now registered to "Giveawayoftheday".

   Thanks GOTD & Arctic Line for Folder Marker 3.0., esp., to the developer for his time and assistance to get my program registered.
