Free Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009!

UPDATE 8/3/09: There is a new version of Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 out. Please visit http://dottech.org/freebies/7914 for more information.

NOTE: Originally this post was about how to attain Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 from Computerbild.de for free. However, with VNUNET.com now also offering it for free, I changed it around to the new source since it is English as opposed to German.

What is Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009? It is a disc burning suite. The following are all the features of Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009:

  • Burn and update data discs
    Burn data to discs and update previously burned discs by adding and removing files and folders.

Hotmail is not supported for some reason. Also, I suggest you use a spam email because Ashampoo spams.

After you have done that, check your email (the one that you entered) for an email from Ashampoo. You will actually get two emails. The one we are interested in is from “Ashampoo <MrReg@ashampoo.com>” with the subject line of “Your registration – Ashampoo® Burning Studio 2009 (F_vnu_gb) (English (UK£)). If you can’t find it, be sure to check your Junk MailBox. It will contain the registration code for Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009. Copy this code:

If you get the following message box after you hit “Register” you are good to go:
