Update: This promotion has now ended.
Second in the list of promised free software is Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox. Hence, today dotTech is teaming up with Eltima Software to bring everyone Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox ($55.95 value) for free!
For those that don’t know, Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox is a software that specializes in converting Flash files (.SWF, .FLV, and .EXE) to other formats. Here is the full features list as per the developer:
Now some of you may be thinking “but I already have a video converter, so why do I need this?” Well, the answer to that is simple: most video converters you have will do FLV -> other format conversions, but most video converters do not allow you to do SWF -> other format or EXE -> other format conversions. Conversion of SWF/EXE Flash files is a bit tricky and different than conversion of other video formats, so most video converters don’t bother to add in that capability; hence the need for a specialized converter.
That said, dotTechies have the chance to get Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox for free! This promotion is open for 24 hours – from 00:00 May 14, 2010 to 24:00 May 14,2010 – and you must install and register the software within these 24 hours because you will not be able to take advantage of this freebie at a later date (even if you keep the installation file).
To get Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox for free, follow these simple steps:
Version being given out for free: v4.0.0.440
Free updates: Yes
Supported OS: Windows XP and higher
Download size: 10.9 MB
- [REMOVED - The promo is over.] and install Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox.
Note: This promotion is available to everyone – everyone may get it for free. However, this is a dotTech.org promotion. Please do not upload the installer file to any other website, server, file hosting services, etc. and please do not directly link to the download. If you want to spread information about this offer, you may link to this article by providing a permalink (alternative link) to your audience.
- During installation, you will be prompted to grab your activation code and register the software. You need to enter your name and e-mail address so you can receive the activation code:
Check the inbox of the e-mail address you entered. There will be an e-mail from “Eltima Software (serveradmin@sync-mac.com)” with the subject of “Free SWF & FLV Toolbox license?”. In the e-mail you will find your activation code:
Copy the activation code and paste it in the activation code box located at the program installer window:
Update: Please note that you must grab the activation code and register/install the software at one time. If you grab the activation code, cancel installation, and go back to install the software with the activation code you got earlier, you will receive an “ERROR: cannot proceed without activation!” message. If this happens to you, enter your name and e-mail address again (you may use the same e-mail address) and grab another activation code; use that new activation code to register/install SWF & FLV Toolbox.
- Finish installing.
- Enjoy!
If you have trouble getting Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox for free, post below and I will try to help.

# Added: possibility to crop and resize images and videos in order to perform conversion of specific areas only or to receive output of different scale
# Added: interactive type of conversion of SWF/EXE files into images
# Added: when converting FLV to SWF, possibility to recode FLV if the codec it uses is not supported by SWF specifications
# Added: audio codec can be chosen for the resulting file when converting SWF/FLV/EXE files to video
# Added: conversion of FLV files with AVC/H.264 video codec
# Added: possibility of automatic computer shutdown once the conversion is over

It works! Thanks Ashraf and Eltima for this nice giveaway!
@ George Gross -
I’ve sent detailed inctructions at your email. You will receive them from taylor9145@gmail.com, as email I’ve sent from @eltima.com was not delivered (blocked by sbc:blacklist.mailrelay.att.net.) – probably, this is the reason why you didn’t receive email with reg details – your SPAM filter blocked it.
Enjoy using SWF & FLV Toolbox! ;)
@Alex Taylor (Eltima Software):
I don’t know why the blacklist but I did get your email with the reg code. Now I have a missing pthreadGC2.dll. I will uninstall software, download pthreadGC2.dll and then try to reinstall. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your email and help.
It is much appreciated.
I’ve tried to install (Windows Vista 32 b) but I receive this message:
..is not valid Win 32 application.
@ George -
:) Yes, you need to download and install it. (Check commment #10 – njwood60 listed solution in his comment)
@ Ana -
Please, uninstall build, download it once again and install.
@ everyone -
We highly recommend you use download manager application in order to ensure this special build of SWF & FLV Toolbox is downloaded successfully. Using your browser for downloading purposes is not always the best way: a connection failure or interruption may cause problems while installing the build (that’s why some of you cannot activate it).
I just wish these one day offers would allow future PC upgrades. For instance have a button to produce a key “heart” file (“wired” to original HD and CPU ID specs) and then allow it to be used again to install again just once using it on new machine. Then first machine installation is cancelled for use.
In my mind this is clear and easy to do. Explaining it is hard to do here. Sharing an installation would not be possible, thus wholesale sharing on rogue Website would be useless.
Anywayyyyy. Thanks for reading.
@Alex Taylor (Eltima Software):
Finally got it installed and working. Thanks to the following for all their help: njwood60 for the missing file info and location, alex for the emailed reg code and all his help with the blocked emails, Ashraf for all the work he does and also to Eltima Software for this nice giveaway!
@ David Roper -
:) No, you can use this license on one PC only.
@ George -
Thanks for your interest in our software!
@ everyone -
All of you, who installed and activated SWF & FLV Toolbox during this promo, can update for free (within one version). Moreover, Eltima offers 50% upgrade discount!
Thanks for the offer.
But, the email does not include an activation code?
Your activation code:
Very frustrating?
JW
I have sent my email address 3 times. All 3 times I have received a reply with no activation code. The field is totally blank. How can I register the software with no activation code? I can see that happening once or twice.. but 3 times? See the comment above mine. Same thing
Same here John!
ThanQ!!!
@Alex Taylor (Eltima Software):
Alex, I understand, I wrote
Then first machine installation is cancelled for use.
It would be like having only one heart. I decide where to put the heart. And only one heart is good. Somehow when installed on the second “body” it’s not available for further use on ANY machine and the original machine would not work anymore (ie where you took the heart from). Sounds grizzly, sorry.
Wouldn’t that satisfy “for use on One PC only”?
Anyway, thanks. I was just thinking outloud.
@gpc111: Same here.
Obviously a glitch somewhere, but it doesn’t encourage.
I’m stuck in the middle of an install when I should be doing something else, and so far have received four separate emails reading:
Hello, and thanks for your interest in SWF & FLV Toolbox!
Your free license type: Personal
Received via: DotTech.Org
Compatibility: Windows version
Your activation code:
Please, enter this code when asked during the installation of SWF & FLV Toolbox. This will convert the demo version into the full registered one and remove all demo limitations. It`s better to copy/paste this activation code rather than entering it manually.
As can be seen, there’s no entry alongside “Your activation code” so there’s nothing to copy and paste.
A shame, but in view of the time-limited duration I guess I’m going to have to give up on this offer, I can’t afford to spend any more time on the software installation.
PS: I meant to edit the above post with additional text but for some weird reason, dot.tech’s ‘click to edit’ function has gone bonkers on my computer, just a weird narrow box with a large X on it and no hope of editing anything.
I was only posting to say it may be best for those who’re not getting the activation code from Eltima to reply to their ‘blank’ email by clicking on the customer support link and asking for it.
I’ve just done so and hopefully, something will pop through while I’m having dinner (it’s evening here in the UK.)
I also have the same problem as some above with no reg code in the email. I emailed Alex so hopefully someone will respond with the fix.
Mike, that got me a copy of the same email with no activation code ;-)

Hi,
It seems that promotion is over.
I received the e-mail , but without activation code .
MikeR …. I received the same e-mail .
Best regards !
I have no Key in the Mail.
(Your activation code: )
Error?
Greeting
Thunder-man
Sent for the activation code – email arrived back immediatly but no activation code in the email. It just says “Your activation code: ” and then nothing. Tried it again and same.
The promotion can’t be over as it is still 14th May.
I have no key in the mail either. Same as a bunch of other people.
Hi, no activation code as well.
No activation code sent in email its just blank after “Your activation code:” Also, the first download link doesn’t work. The second one does though.
@Thunder-man
The blank code happened to me at first- twice. Then I changed from just my initials “fk” to a first letter and last name- this time I received a visible code.
Or maybe, the third time is the charm!
