Missed out on the 1 year free a-squared Anti-Malware Pro license? I have 355 1 year licenses to giveaway for free.

November 12, 2009 355 Email article | Print article

Yesterday, Emisoft ran a 24-hour promotion giving away free 1 year licenses for a-squared Anti-Malware Pro. The promotion was open to the whole public so anyone had the opportunity to get it. However some people may have not been able to take advantage of the offer (for whatever reason). For those people that missed out, I generated a few extra 1 year licenses – 355 to be exact. So like I gave away 30 free 1 year Panda Internet Security 2010 licenses, I am giving away 355 1 year a-squared Anti-Malware Pro licenses for free. Here is how this giveaway will work:

  • If you want a license, post below. This is not a first come, first serve basis. When the number of comments below (asking for keys) hits 500, or this drawing has been going on for 48 hours, I will use a random selection system to determine who gets the keys. 55 of these keys are reserved for people who have donated to dotTech or wrote for dotTech in the past (if you have donated and want a key, please clarify this point in your comment and post with the e-mail address you donated with so I can confirm). The other 300 are for anyone that asks.
  • When posting a comment, please be sure to use the e-mail you want me to send the license to in case you win. However, please don’t post your e-mail in your comment! You should never post your e-mail on a public form. Just enter the e-mail you want me to send the key to in the “E-mail” field when writing your comment – I will be able to get your e-mail from there. Or if you are a registered dotTechie, just post a comment normally and I will be able to find your e-mail.
  • Any active dotTechie (i.e. posts comments, helps people out, etc.), anyone that has donated to dotTech, or anyone that has written for dotTech may request 2 licenses (one license will only work on one computer); everyone else may only request 1. Note that if you want 2 licenses, say so in your post. You will receive 2 licenses if you win.
  • After 48 hours have passed, if all 355 licenses have not been given away, the remainder of the licenses will be given out on a first come, first serve basis. At this point if you need more than 1 (or 2 if you are eligible to request 2) license, you may request 1 additional license.

Good luck to everyone!

    I would like a shot at getting the license. I was too dumb to figure out how to get it by myself.

    Ashraf,
    I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to obtain one of your licenses. Away from the computer when this was offered. Thanks for all your help. Love the reviews.

    Hi Ashraf,
    can the validity date of a current licence be extended with this promo of yours? If yes, please count me in. If not, thanks anyway.

    Ashraf, I always miss out on these US promos because I tend to be asleep or on the way to work when they’re about to expire (I was particularly keen on getting Iolo and Zone Alarm products but missed out due to timing)

    so, yes, would greatly appreciate a key if poss.

    I tried to get it when there was 48 seconds left, and it wouldn’t let me get one. I would greatly appreciate a license. Thanks so much.

    I finally donated to your site. You deserve much more for all your time and effort but it is all I could do right now. I love reading your posts and always rely on your research before installing the programs. Keep up the great work and if you have any licenses left I’d greatly appreciate one or two. Thanks so much.
    P.S. If you ever wonder why so many posts when you give something away for free, it is a true sign of how many people actually pay attention to what you do for them. CONGRATS!!!

    I would like to also be considered for the a-squared malware program.

    I am truthfully not sure if I have donated in the past…I believe I have, though.

    Regardless, thanks for your program reviews and links.

    I don’t need a license (although I tried five times before I finally installed it uncorrupted), but just wanted to add that this was amazingly nice of you to do. Your hard work is as always greatly appreciated!

    My network was down and failed to get a key yesterday, so I would really want it to use with my KIS for better protection.

    Best regards,
