Two week ago (wow… it has been a really long time since I have posted on dotTech) I introduced a dotTech Exclusive promotion giving away 20 licenses of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite. As I mentioned in the earlier post, the promotion works in two parts; so in that regard, is this part 2 of the promotion (or, in other words, the part where you can throw your name into the hat to try to win a license).

Here is a recap of what Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite is and what it does:

(Click on image to view list in full.)

If you would like to win a license of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite, follow these simple instructions/guidelines:

• If you want to be eligible to win one of the licenses, you must post a comment below. In the comment you must post answers to the following questions:

1. What you used (or will use) Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite for?
2. What is your favorite feature in Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite?
3. Are there any aspects of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite that can be improved (bug fixes, more features, interface enhancements, etc.)? If so, please explain.
4. If you were in the market looking for a hard drive management software, would you pay $49.95 to purchase Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 Suite? In other words, do you think $49.95 is a fair price for this software? If not, please specify the price you would prefer.

Anyone that does not post answers to all of the four questions will be disqualified.

• 7 licenses are reserved for dotTech donors, authors, 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.
• 13 licenses can be won by anyone.
• I reserve the right to award specific people licenses if I feel they have helped foster the dotTech family by being very active (the people who fall into this category is at my sole discretion).
• You may only enter once and only win one license. Anyone that tries to enter more than once will be disqualified.
• By entering this drawing, you give me the right to pass on your e-mail to Paragon Software (they will be the ones distributing the licenses).

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! You should never post your e-mail on a public form. Just enter the e-mail you want to be contacted at in the “E-mail” field when writing your comment – I will be able to get your e-mail from there. Or if you are a registered dotTechie, just post a comment normally and I will be able to find your e-mail.

The winners of this giveaway will be announced after the giveaway has ended in 72 hours, or on Sunday March 28, 2010.
