Two days ago we were happy to cover the $ 95 worth GAOTD’s giveaway for EDraw Max and when surfing the web for other free promos for similar graphic softwares, we’ve found this interesting but not-quite-similar product .
Definitely not a simple graphical software , ConceptDraw MindMap is a complex ” business and personal productivity software that combines the most commonly used methods of listing and organizing information within single productivity toolbox:
* Visual mind mapping technique which uses radial diagrams to capture and organize information
* An outline method - a traditional way of hierarchical display of related items
* Brainstorming methods - the technique that enables individuals and teams to generate multiple ideas.”

One can say that this might be useful for professional managers only . We were almost thinking the same thing before trying it and we have found that this software is so rich in features that you never know wher you might need one of them, for personal or proffesional use .
After all we’re all managing our own lifes . We all have different projects, small or big , work-related or just hobbies , related or not to authorities or society , done together with other family members or friends, etc …
This is where this application reveals its usefulness . Use it and you’ll see the things hundred times much clearer . Because ” ConceptDraw MINDMAP enables you to present information as a visual map taking full advantage of pictures, symbols, text and the color, to make documents easy to comprehend and remember. ConceptDraw MINDMAP provides versatile integration with MS Office and project management software along with complete support of mind mapping and brainstorming techniques.”

The latest version is MindMap v6 but the tip is about ConceptDraw MindMap v5 ( both Windows and Mac OS X versions ) which was offered for free on promotional CDs and DVDs of different magazines , probably as a marketing promotion before releasing the V6 version .

They are no longer visible on the official site but you can still
download the Windows version CDMindMapProEn.zip and the Mac version CDMindMapProEn.dmg ( otherwise you can find the Windows version on Download.com and the Mac version on Brothersoft.com )
Before installing go and apply for a free genuine copy of a serial number HERE 1 or HERE 2
Fill in all fields marked with asterisk ( choose any magazine from their selection ), and click “Register” . You’ll instantly get your serial number - displayed on screen ( also sent to your e-mail address ).
After installation don’t forget to use your registration key when giving a first run . That will transform the 30 days trial into a full - without limitations - version .
Enjoy ! ( via Donation Coder )

Thanks kite! We’ll check it and maybe write an article if the quality is good. You’ll be credited of course !
Kind of surprised that a $70 software for free software is worth only 3 points ….
But I have come across a couple more promotions that may be free and useful for niche users … and in good faith, I’ll alert you …

You shouldn’t be looking for points kite ! You’re already “one of us”. Just be yourself and participate when you find it useful.
You have received 3 points … We check it and maybe decide to write an article ( if we find it useful for everybody, or many readers ) … If this is the case you’ll receive other 8 points (not-exclusive freebies ).
The same for your last 2 finds. They are (too) well known on the net … But who knows maybe we’ll write an article and credit you again for the effort ?!
You should only see the list of freebies we’ve got !
You’ll have to trust our goodwill and our method to focus on every software when we publish an dedicated article. Please tell us if we’re doing something wrong.
Thank you!
Very nice, thank you for the hint!

I’ve discovered that “Regnow Mirror” link on this page:
XXXX
( download3k.com )
Gets you Mindmap version 5.0.2.0 as opposed to 5.0.0.2 on Download.com.
Hi!
So this your only comment on 4Free.
We only recommend downloads from known ( by us ) download sites, like download.com.
I guess I must apologize if I have never used download3K.com.
Nevertheless since you have tried to give us what seems to be a useful info , I leave the name of the site just in case anybody will try to find the download for Mindmap.
Thank you!
Wow, there’s a software with a long learning curve! Definitely for people who like to brainstorm or maybe plan something special.
