There will be a Readme.txt with any related activation links or serial numbers, a Setup.exe and a Setup.gcd. Firstly, download the Giveaway of the Day software and extract the downloaded zip file to a folder. Weighs in at only 60KB and is just as easy to use as the previous version. Thankfully, Maximus has done it again and released Unwrapper GOTD version 2! But yet again, GiveawayOfTheDay made changes to their wrapper in early 2015 which means Unwrapper GOTD version 1 no longer works.Īlthough GiveawayOfTheDay isn’t as good as it once was, there are still users who would like to keep some GOTD giveaways if only there was a way around this newer 2015 protection. That tool, although good, had a major problem which was it wouldn’t work properly in 64-bit versions of Windows.
It was done largely to stop users easily grabbing the installer and registration information without installing the software, something which GiveawayOfTheDay don’t like you doing because you’re only supposed to install and activate the program on the day the software is offered.Ī member called Maximus from the cracking group Revenge Crew saved the day in late 2012 because he released a small tool called Unwrapper GOTD which allowed you to still get hold of installers and license keys from the encrypted. The updated 2012 wrapper was based on Themida technology which is similar to what’s used in malicious rootkits. But in 2012 there was a controversial change and made saving the installer files very difficult. The installer used to store itself in the Windows Temp folder and could easily be copied, then you had the real installer ready to use any time you wanted to.
While the software given away might not always be very good, it used to be very easy to download and then save the installer and license information for future use outside of the time limit. It does this by checking the GOTD servers online and won’t allow the download if you are trying outside of the 24 hour period. If you don’t install during that time it’s tough luck because the software is wrapped in their own custom installer which will only allow you to install and activate the software within the one day period. The GiveawayOfTheDay software is rotated once a day and you have 24 hours to download and install, then activate the software on your computer. Since 2006 GiveawayOfTheDay has been offering shareware and commercial software to its readers, free of charge. Almost everybody who likes to download some free software from time to time knows all about GiveawayOfTheDay.
