Crazy Free Stuff! July 11th, 2007

16 comments

Hey guys!

Well, it’s been a crazy week so far at the Linkinus production farms. After negotiating with those zany folks at Macheist, we managed to squeeze our way into their new bundle at the very last minute. Everyone who now buys the MacHeist bundle gets a full license for Linkinus 1.x. Rejoice!

But that’s not all. How could we make ourselves look even more completely insane? Maybe… give away 20,000 copies of Linkinus 1.1 (and 1.1.x upgrades) for free? Yeah, that’d do it. So we did it. Now, remember, these free licenses are ONLY good for Linkinus 1.1 and 1.1.x upgrades. 1.2 will cost you $20. Still, I’d say it was a pretty schweet dealio. To get your license, just scroll to the bottom of the page page and give us your first and last name, and your email address, and it’ll be sent to you shortly.

If you’ve decided already that Linkinus is SO awesome that you simply MUST have all the upgrades until 2.0 (and who could blame you, really,) you can purchase a full license for $20, or pick it up as part of the MacHeist Bundle for $50! That will entitle you to upgrades until 2.0. :)

Peace out.

    Oh, cool. :o

    What about when you put your computer asleep Linkinus disconnects from IRC. Is that a bug too?

    No, All network connections are terminated during sleep.

    [...] Linkinus – awesome Shareware Internet Relay Chat client which is worth it over Colloquy, especially if you pick up a free license [...]

    I don’t get it. Where can I get a free license for 1.1?

    You can’t anymore. The deal is over :)

    Is there likely to be a new deal coming soon? I’m reluctant to buy (or even download) when 20k people got it for free before :(

    I highly doubt it. Plus, this deal was only for 1.1. The next version, everyone who got a free license will have to pay. Plus, only about 6k people actually grabbed licenses :)

    Indeed… six thousand people is so less for them to promote a new deal :(
