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!

    Hello there, just want to ask to you Ash, what’s the differences between the standard and the pro version?

    By the way, both you and me have similar spelling…

    Hi, I’m a frequent visitor to your site and I’m on your e-mail list. I missed the 24 hour deadline for the a-squared 1 year free license but I have my fingers crossed.

    Hi, I missed the 24 hour deadline for the a-squared 1 year free license (wasn’t even aware of it till this evening) but if you have a Key to spare I’d certainly appreciate one.

    I think it’s very generous of you. Thanks

    Hopefully, I will also be in the running for a key. I downloaded the file from the Emisoft site during the 24-hr period, only to find out too late that the file was corrupt and needed to be downloaded again. Ah well, some you win and some you lose.

    Now would also be a good opportunity to say thank you Ashraf ~ your comments on various software are always the first to be read.

    I actually tried registering for one during the offer but I guess I didn’t follow something through all the way cause I never heard back anything. So hey, sure,I’ll enter to get one, thanx.

    Asraf Thank you for this opportunity for a fee license. I did encounter one problem with the original offering. I did not actually miss it – they would not give it to me because they had already my e-mail from a previous log in in the past and they said that e-mail was not valid to use again. So I do hope I can take advantage of this second chance.

    Hi Ashraf! I’m on your e-mail list and read your articles frequently. I missed the 24 hour deadline for the a-squared 1 year free license. My fault. Mixed the time. It would be nice to get a free key from you. Thanks in advance.
