The problem is this giveaway is supposed to be for 24-hours on December 29, 2011. It is already December 29, 2011 in Germany and still only the extended 90 day trial is available. Has anyone been able to get the full freebie? I have a whole bloody article ready for publish soon as the giveaway goes live…

I've been continuously checking to see if the full version is activated or not but still 90 days… Bah this is a good freebie too.

Thank you for letting us know about this. I've tried to download several times, but always end up with a very small file (68kb) that won't run.  Any idea why this is happening? I'd really like to get this, had it before but my hard drive failed.  :-(

Corrupted download. Try again. See http://dottech.org/freebies/25862/free-ocster-backup-pro-7-24-hours-only/.

I have just d/l and installed this from:  http://www.computerbild.de/download/Ocster-Backup-Pro-7-Kostenlose-Vollversion-6973843.html

Following the registration instructions has given me a full version. Time is 17:30 German time (10:30 LA time).  As of right now, I reckon you have 16hr 30min to grab this freebie!

Incidentally Ashraf, this a giveaway from a German Magazine.  How does this differ to recent to our recent discussion on the posts on "Auslogics Registry Defrag 6.2"?

Yeah, I noticed the changed link myself. Thanks for that.

How is this not different? This is from a German magazine for everyone -- it isn't IP restricted nor is it only for people that buy ComputerBild's magazine. Language doesn't deter freebies -- it is rights to the freebie that determine if they will be posted about or not.

It is cool – no problem.

I understand your point where you say some posts have been USA only. I have no issue with posting about x-country-only freebies… as long as the freebie is for everyone in that country and not only the people that subscribe to a paid magazine.
