Most people here have the attitude, "I don't want to pay for anything, but maybe someone else will." Obviously, that doesn't work. Without sales, vendors have no incentive to offer their wares through GOTD, so quality has been declining.
They hope that some people will find their products useful and buy a full license, with updates and support, and preferably a higher version ("pro", "deluxe", etc.) Since so many people mistake GOTD for freeware, sales have been poor, and the vendors have been providing reduced versions just for GOTD, which wasn't the original concept. They don't make any money giving their products away. Making a non-portable application portable is cheating the vendor. A few vendors are generous and allow you to reinstall, most don't.

Technically, that means it can't be reinstalled, which means that you're essentially being given a fully functional no time limit trial until you reinstall windows or upgrade your computer.

#16, Joe Schmoe, the GOTD terms are that you have 24 hours to install the software and it's a fully functional commercial product without support or updates. If the publishers don't sell more licenses via GAOTD than the normal shareware route then there's no reason to continue offering full-featured software. But, GAOTD only works if people actually buy some of the products. GAOTD fills a useful niche for productivity tools and utilities with steep learning curves or those that take a while to really demonstrate how truly useful they are. Likewise, it would be useless as "crippleware" because the features that are supposed to set it apart from the competition would have been deactivated Today's offering would be useless as a 15-day trial as it would take you that long to get accustomed to using it. The intent is that you'll find it so useful, that it becomes a part of your everyday life, and will buy a later version, thus supporting the publisher.Ī good bit of what GAOTD offers is frequently offered elsewhere as 15-30 day shareware, or as "crippleware" where all of the useful features have been deactivated. You get a license to use a non-upgradeable version of the software for as long as you so desire. #16 - Joe Schmoe, nope Fubar is entirely correct.
