Anime Studio 5 for Mac and PC (Download)

You can also get more than one serial code!

I noticed when you have to put in your information, it says something about it being a 30 day free trial?

I'm hoping that isn't the case, as that seems pretty deceitful.

Cart says it's a 30-day trial and requires a credit card to download. Have seen too many issues where merchants charge you anyway and the credit card companies back them up.

Yeah right it's free, free for 30 days then they charge it to your credit card! Advertising "free trial offer" is one thing, but this is down right deceptive! If you aren't paying attention at check out you'll miss the small note about the" after the 30 day trial is over your credit card will automatically be charged for the full amount" notice.

Thanks for the comments. I updated the title and disabled the deal for the contest since the submission was inaccurate.

I can see however that the ad is very deceiving. There is no way to know it is 30 day trial unless you add it to the cart and read the fine print

I'm pretty sure it's not a 30 day trial. I think that "30 day trial" bit is just genreal fineprint for the checkout. All the rest of the fine print I read seems legit. The process never asked for a credit card number anywhere, and the price was listed as $0. At the end of the checkout, it gave me a download link and a product key. I installed the program, and when I first started it it, it booted in trial mode, and I pasted in the product key which made it the full version.

Alright, I went through the check out process myself plus I confirmed it with customer support.

The offer is for a free copy Anime Studio 5. Yes, it's "truly free forever". It will continue to function after 30 days.

Editing the title back to what it was and re-adding the deal to the contest

Its a shame when people can't understand what they are able to read.

Well, the fine print is a bit deceiving. Here is what a message above the shopping cart says (the highlight is mine):

When paying by credit card, the billing information should be exactly as it appears on your credit card statement. For credit card verification, please ensure that your first and last name are entered as they appear on your card.

You will not be charged during your 30 day FREE trial period. We will verify your credit card is valid and in good standing through a credit card authorization. If you do not cancel within 30 days of your sign up date, you will be charged for the amount of the product shown above, plus any taxes.

you guys are probably going after version 6 not 5. i had no problems and it didnt ask for a credit card.

The thing is, at no time during checkout does it require your card. So simply having gone through the sign-up process ought to have clued most folks in to the fact that this is free.

That having been said, I can see why folks would be hesitant. Like someone else said, the general purpose "fine print", so to speak, is a bit confusing.

When I visit the link, and click on 'win' It takes me to a page that says your cart is empty. So I can't get the download

this is andy from above
tried the link in iE and it worked, so i must have my firefox locked down completely.

Since this deal was disabled for a little bit, could it count for tommrows contest?
