• 5 licenses are reserved for dotTech donors, voluntary authors, forum admins, and artists. If you fall in this 5 license reserve category, please specifically state so in your comment (i.e. say “I am a donor” if you are a donor, etc.), otherwise I may not know. Also if you are a donor, please be sure to use the e-mail you donated with in your comment (do not post your e-mail in public, just use the e-mail in the “e-mail” form when posting a comment) so I can confirm.
• 10 licenses can be won by anyone.
• Anyone that won a license in the previous 30 license giveaway is not eligible to win another license.
• I reserve the right to award specific people licenses if I feel they have helped foster the dotTech community in a positive manner (the people who fall into this category is at my sole discretion).

When posting a comment, please make sure you enter an e-mail that is 100% valid and an e-mail you will check because the licenses will be distributed via e-mail by me. If you win and don’t have a valid e-mail or an e-mail you don’t check, your license will go to waste. However, please don’t post your e-mail in your comment!

Good luck to everyone!
