We have all heard of Tabbles, right? (You know, the terrific file management/tagging program that dotTech has reviewed.) Well, for the next 48-hours, dotTech has teamed up with Yellow blue soft to bring dotTechies Tabbles Home ($29.99) for free!
For those that don’t know, Tabbles is a program that aims to eliminate your file management pains by easily and efficiently tagging files. There are many handy features of Tabbles, such as the ability to multi-tag files, the ability to auto-tag, and powerful tags/files filtering capabilities. However, why talk about it when we can see it in action? The following short video – 1 minute and 19 seconds long and created by the developer – gives a quick introduction to what Tabbles is and what is does:
If you would like to learn more about Tabbles in detail, you can either visit the drop by Tabble’s website, or read dotTech’s full and comprehensive review on it.
Tabbles actually comes in four main editions: Portable ($29.99), Home ($29.99), Business ($69.99), and Corporate ($129.99). [dotTechies can receive 25% off all editions for a limited time!] The following chart, created by the developer, lists the differences between all four editions:
In addition to the four main editions, there is a free edition (limited to tagging 1,000 files) and there are special discounted editions (which have the functionality of Tabbles Home) available for students/teachers/universities ($14.99), and people living in third-world countries ($7.49).
That said, for the next 48-hours dotTechies can grab Tabbles Home completely free! This freebie is a full Tabbles Home license with full functionality of Tabbles Home – there are no limitations on how many files you can tag.

@SilenceIsGolden: yes I am :-)
Tabbles is indeed installing a “shell extension” which writes something in the registry… but it should be all good!
@Grey Beard: I don’t get it, is the registration working or not? Please let us know if it doesn’t – you’re welcome to report issues at http://getsatisfaction.com/tabbles
@Mr.Dave: Wow mr.Dave, thanks!!! :-D
Thank you, Ashraf. In fact there are two different versions at the download links you provided above, Tabbles 1.5.15 rev2 from Tabbles Home Page, and Tabbles 1.5.14 rev8 from DropBox. The portable version works with this key as well.
Keep getting “registration invalid” after entering key. Am I doing something wrong?
For some odd reason my installer won’t start up…..can’t even instal the program?!
AOA Ashraf,
Thank you very much for another sweet giveaway.
Cheers and Regards.
Oh no, not another useless piece of crap. This was one of those softwares given away at Giveawaoftheday.com last time. Why are they always giving away their sofwares for free if the software is any good at all? I have file management softwares coming out of my ears and I do not need another one to clutter or clog up my hard drive.
Sorry Ashraf, I like your blog but please be selective in offering free softwares. I have used this software before and I do not feel it is any better than what I already have installed in my six desktops and notebooks at home.
@Dalmasian: Tabbles has nothing to do with your file managers… watch the 1 min video to find out.
You may not need it, but if you say that it’s like one of your hundreds file managers then you have no clue about what Tabbles is.
@PCbasics: please come to our forum and tell us your problem – http://tabbles.net/forum/
@PCbasics: probably…
@Asen: good point! The mirror (set up yesterday from Ashraf) is outdated, I’ll ask him to remove it.
The portable shouldn’t work with this serial…but it does. We’ll fix this soon. :-S
Thanks. I can see this being useful for organising my photos, and music collection.
@RobCr: #9 ‘True Blue’ that’s Aussie lingo like me.
BS, no.
Those folders/shortcuts/ghosts of folders/Windows 7 Libraries, or what ever else they get called, are all designed to keep people out of the mineshaft, re- out of their Hard Drive C Root & Sub-files etc.
MS and most people don’t want to, or don’t need to, go directly to stuff buried down the mineshaft, Its harder work and things can messed up if the wrong thing is done.
Most people don,t want go into the mineshaft if they can help it when there’s nice daylight/sunshine on top, ha.
Its only people like you & me that like going there :)
Tabbles helps keep those people out of the mineshaft.
I have this installed, with no security warnings.
The download required a very LONG MS.NET Framework 4 update. I have a button on my desktop.
When they ask for registration, I paste the key given above.
“This is not a valid key.”

@Dalmasian: #32
Not everyone has six desktops and notebooks at home.
@Andrea D’Intino:
See #38 re download problem.
Ashraf,
Thank you for the giveaway.

Nice giveaway, though i use similar software for my needs. If someone wants here it is.

@Gurabi:
I looked at Mediafire, and thanks for the url. It is a different bird. It looks like an even better version of Dropbox.
But the free download is only good for 144KB of file. However, the rates are competitive.
I would get a subscription, but I’m troubled that the download carried a popup invite to an intelligence test. This is not a promising sign…..
Any suggestions? I want the service, and will pay for it; but not if my readers are going to be tested for intelligence. They must be smart if they’re in my Dropbox!

@Dalmasian, your ungrateful post is ironic. You don’t want this program because your computer is already a mess yet this program is for keeping your computer organized and uncluttered.
Kaspersky is great but Bit Defender barely beats it by a two or three tests. I use Bit Defender and had no alerts. Many believe ESET Nod32 is the best and they may be right.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!!!!!!!
Free updates: No
Special note: While officially Yellow blue soft will not provide free updates, my contact informed me they may provide some free updates for a unspecified limited amount of time.
Thanks for this. Looking forward to checking it out.
How do we know if it’s safe to update?
@Trev:
I am not sure whether you came to bury me, or to praise me (Marc Antony).
MS practically forces people to store their stuff down the mineshaft.
And I agree, if it is down the mineshaft, then we need the BS surface views (smoke and mirrors) of your data. In fact they have to do that, so that you have some chance of finding it.
What I am advising people to do, IS TO NOT STORE THEIR DATA THERE, IN THE FIRST PLACE. Then you do not need any BS alternate views.
Create folders for your data, as I have described above, and
KEEP IT OUT OF THE MINESHAFT.
@jivadas: someone else had the same issue… I guess you’re just not copy&pasting the license correctly… check if there is any space before or after or something like that
@tejas: in the same way as any other software: you don’t.
