Giveaway of the Day Blacksmith3D Standard

I subscribe to the GoTD daily email, and I was shocked when I saw what they were offering today.
 
How do you register it though? It says the key is to be included in the zip files but I cannot find a key except for the "DEMO" one. That is not for a full version just for demo mode. :(

Well, this doesn't work for me.

Please note that the software you download and install during
the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:
1) No free technical support
2) No free upgrades to future versions
3) Strictly non-commercial usage

WARNING!!! According to their page in the Renderosity store, the standard version does NOT include Texture Transformer. Definitely a no-go for me.

Texture transformer was available in prime for less than 30 dollars.

The monthly subscription for Blacksmith3D Pro-7 is actually rather reasonable. Even though I detest subscriptions. But, $8.95 per month is less than Netflix or Hulu+ or Amazon Prime ... and I have no problems subscribing to each of those :p

You can suspend for up to two months without having to again pay the $5.95 setup fee to rejoin. And if you do cancel, you can continue to use the software until the end of your paid period.

And ... if you cancel after 18 months of active subscription, you get a version 6 license key. If all software subscriptions did that, I'd have no problems whatsoever subscribing.

Giveaway of the day is a one day only freebie. You have to download and install it within a 24 hour period. Any software that you download there are non-commercial only. You can not make product to sell with the free versions. Just a heads up and restating what Satira said.

I agree. I also stated that I tried yesterday the day of the giveaway with no luck.

Hi glennf, what did not work for you? Here's what I usually do (because I like to grab the Giveaway of the Day games on Saturday and Sunday) is to select to receive an email rather than using Facebook. I receive an email that has a link to the download then I install it. If you have a virus program you might need to disable it until you've installed your download. I had to make a permanent exception with Avira for game.exe so that I wouldn't have issues.

Hello NG Artplay .
I don't touch Facebook (Too much porn spam) I get the daily give away e-mails but when I tried to download I kept getting a 404 error page not available.Oh well it's over now anyway.
