dotTech Exclusive: Free Glary Utilities Pro! (Promotion open for 24 hours only so hurry!) Update: Promo extended for 6 more hours

Ashraf May 12, 2010 121

Update: This promotion has now ended.

As promised earlier this week, dotTech is teaming up with GlarySoft to bring everyone Glary Utilities Pro for free! For those that don’t know, Glary Utilities is a jack-of-all-trades software that can do all of the following (as per the developer):

Glary Utilities comes in two flavors: Glary Utilities Free and Glary Utilities Pro. The main differences between the two flavors as per the developer are that Glary Utilities Pro comes with:

Automatic care in background
Enhanced system fixing, optimizing and more
Free 24×7 Technical Support
Consent for commercial use Attention: This specific promotion entitles usage of Glary Utilities Pro for non-commercial use only.

So, as the title of this post says, dotTechies have the chance to get Glary Utilities Pro for free! This promotion will be open for 24 hours only – from 00:00 – 24:00 PST (Pacific Standard Time, or GMT -7) on May 12, 2010 – and everyone will receive 1 year of free updates. Note that you will only be able to grab a free license key within the 24 hour time frame, but you can use the key you get to install Glary Utilities Pro at a later date, if you wish.

Update: There was a communication problem between me and GlarySoft. We both agreed upon running the giveaway for 24 hours on May 12, 2010, but they live in China so they probably setup the giveaway for 24 hours Chinese time where as I ran the giveaway PST time (hence the giveaway “ended early”). GlarySoft and dotTech recognize this problem and apologize for it (see comment #86 for an official apology from GlarySoft). The giveaway is now open again and this giveaway has been extended by 6 hours and will now last until 06:00 PST May 13, 2010.

Anyone that has any problems or issues can e-mail GlarySoft at support [at] glarysoft.com before 0600 PST May 13, 2010 and they will be e-mailed a license. Also, any complaints can go to support [at] glarysoft.com.

To get Glary Utilities Pro for free, follow these simple steps:

Version being given away for free: v2.22.0.896

Free updates: Yes, for one year

Supported OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7

Download size: 5.97 MB

Enter your e-mail address in the following text box and hit “Submit”:

Check the inbox of the e-mail address you entered. There should be an e-mail from “Glarysoft (support@glarysoft.com)” with the subject of “Glarysoft 1-year License Giveaway?”. In the e-mail you will find your registration key:

Copy the registration key and/or keep it in a safe place – you will need it to register Glary Utilities Pro.

Download (alternative download link) and install Glary Utilities Pro.
After installation has finished, run Glary Utilities Pro and register is with the key you received via e-mail:

(You may enter whatever you want for “Your name”.)

Seems like a typical “Bait & Switch” the free offer has ended but you can buy it at 1/2 price…

What’s with them? Don’t they realize that aborting an offer like this is just going to tick everyone off?
Not only will I not buy their product but I’ll make sure many others here about this fiasco.
Come on Ashraf, let them know this is reneging on an agreement and your readers are not happy.
Hope you can sort this mess out.
Thanks,

I just want to see what time it is there. Well I was correct that the time had not yet passed for the giveaway and yet they say that it has expired. Weird….

Sweet. A giveaway that isn’t. Nice bait and switch P/R.

I have just tried to resubmit my email. No luck. I get the same reply from Glarysoft “giveaway was ended“.
I have replied to Glarysoft and invited them to get it fixed and perhaps to post an explanation on this page
