Are you sure about the 15 days?
Because you get 15 day free trial without a serial number.

So if they are giving you a serial number dosent that mean its no longer a trial version but a full version?

I applied for this and received my serial number in the mail today, i have yet to input it into the program. It took a day for the thing to arrive in my mail, and i had to filter it out of the junkmail box where it was found.

I saw in another forum people saying that everyone receives the same serial number, and that its one thats already well known on the internet, I cant confirm this as i havent compared my serial number to any posted one yet.
 
I hopped in on this the last time they did this offer and didn't receive any malware. The 15 days is for the MPEG-2 -> DIVX converter codec, the free key gives you the player and other goodies for free instead of the normal charge.
 
I'll bite. Wish me luck, boys. If I don't come back it means my computer was obliterated by spyware/malware.
 
FYI the Mac version is free today also.

I installed it, everything's fine so far (ran ClamX against it, came up clean)
 
Just wondering. When DivX really got popular, wasn't it distributed with GAIN? Maybe that was something else. It being free always brings a little concern.
 
Yeah, that was the Pro version 5. But like I said above. It was clearly in the EULA and the user had a chance to say "No".
