UPDATE : The promotion leaked on important sites, became too popular and the developer decided to close it down.
There are workarounds for still getting ConceptDraw from this promotion but WE’LL NEVER PUBLISH ILLEGAL SOLUTIONS. We tell about promotions as long as the developers keep them alive on the net. Odessa closed down this last one and WE ALL SHOULD RESPECT THEIR DECISION.

How to grabb this special software ?
Go to this Special Promo Page and fill in all fields marked with asterisk ( choose any magazine from their selection ) Hit “Register” and you’ll instantly get your serial number - displayed on screen ( also sent to your e-mail address ).
Then go and downlod it from CNet.com ( we’ve tried it , it works ! ). ( # Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 ) … Did not looked for a Mac Version download link but there must be serious download websites ( similar to CNet.com ) still having this older version for Mac too.
UPDATE : Thanks to our friend - Jim, the Mac users can use The Mac Version CNet.com download . Welcome to our community Jim !.
Note This is a very large (164.4MB) file !
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!

Hi there!
Impressed by your honest concern. You can find ConceptDraw MindMap On Life Hacker a website having tons of readers everyday. And that’s just an example. You can go on every major tech blog with a freebies section and ask your questions. 4 Free is too small for that.
Or better ask the software developers why they keep active their 1-2 years outdated promotions. Maybe you’ll understand that keeps them on the market.
Otherwise the Internet practice is very simple : the links are removed at a simple official notification. We’ll soon have an official 4 Free own promotion for an Odessa product ( Yep! Good news guys !)
Maybe then you’ll understand better. Thank you anyway!
Thanks a ton! I have used this software before! Works very nicely!

Oh man , is CNet.com Downloads slow !
About this software about a 8 months ago they gave away program called ConceptDraw Webwave. From the screen shots it looks close to the same program. ConceptDraw Webwave was a very good program for charts and has many icons,graphics.ect.
I would give ConceptDraw Webwave 9 out 10 until I used this ConceptDraw PRO .
Now compared with this latest version Webwave get 5 out 10 and ConceptDraw PRO get the 9 out 10 .
Thanks it a good find .

Very important contribution. Thank you?
You don’t have any software giveaway wishes ? You never know …
Hi friends,just finished trying out this baby :).First I must mention that it’s not the kind of tool i use every day,but it’s a beauty nevertheless.I like mostly it’s friendly interface,and speed(it loads quite quickly despite it’s size,faster than other programs i know within this category).To cut it short,it is a very useful program if you want to show off with your ideas in style,but it will mostly help a bit more technically oriented people to conceive and organize their sketches or scientific plans.Needless to say it’s packed with lots of features and nice graphics,that are fairly straightforward to use,even for beginners(like myself
) In experienced hands,it can turn almost any idea into gold
My regards to all you nice guys.

I have used concept draw before. It is great software. (did not use it much). Lost it do to a reformat. Advise anyone if you have space to get it. Well worth the time to install. There is alot that can be accomplished with this. Glade to see it available, and will be using it again.

Thanks for the feedback !
What an awesome program!
Downloaded, installed and registered no problem.
After installing you are taken to a Learning Center web page for the program.
It also has a Getting Started tutorial under Help.
Program opens to a template selection screen - just select the kind of diagram you want to work with and it loads the available symbols.
All you have to do is drag and drop and connect things together.
From building plans to flow charting to software and web design, this software rocks!
Thanks for this and keep up the good finds!

Hi Hawk! Let’s focus on feedbacks about ConceptDraw, please. Your freeware recommendation (though very interesting and useful, indeed ) has nothing to do with our today’s subject, as far as I can see. You’ll have all the time and space to develop your idea on The Forum.
I know you’ll understand. Thank you !
ONE little “whoopee-doo” in the comments and i never here from you again. hopefully i’ll be able to grab this, without being blocked or something, as it looks good. sad about the loss.

Bonjour!
This is my first time on your site and I’m pleasantly surprised of the excellent quality.
I’ve had ConceptDraw 6 from a previous promotion and now I’ve grabbed version 7.
Can’t tell how much I thank you!
Now I’ll start digging other freebies in your list. Looks yummy!
This site is great!

it only will load

Am I too slow?
3 points
Yep ! Looks like they’ve closed it! Sorry ! You’ve been warned !
1/ First of all, what an incredible giveaway! Geez!
Odessa software are absolutely outstanding as far as I can know.
2/ Actually, I don’t think I have use for this. I have visio 2007 installed on my computer and I’ve never used it… I played with it but never used it for real.
I have no time to read long tutorials and these programs are obviously over-sized for just drawing a mere scheme. Actually, I don’t well understand the differences between mindmap and conceptdraw pro…
3/ Odessa software used to be localized. For this kind of complex programs I prefer them being in French.
The only version of concept draw pro I found in French is 6 and the serial - of course - won’t work with this version.
That’s why, should I need once in a year such a program, I think I would give visio a go… (I got the French version!)
4/ That being said, conceptdraw pro seems to me more user friendly than visio and more convenient to use.
Should I ever buy a mindmapping program, I should prefer Odessa software products over visio I guess, not even speaking about the price…

The promotion has leaked on important sites and the developer decided to close it. ConceptDraw MindMap 5 is still working !
I guess it wouldn’t be really fair with the developer but there is still a way to get XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I tell you that just in order to know, I wouldn’t support this unfair giveaway !
By the way, I don’t understand how the “warning” works… Althought I think I qualified for the mail, I never received it…
Cheers !

Franck ! Normally this kind of workaround would have been fantastic for all our friends. But in this case - like you’ve said - is ILLEGAL ( more than unfair ). We publish about promotions as long as the developers keeps them alive on the net. Odessa closed this last one and WE ALL SHOULD RESPECT THEIR DECISION.
I know you agree too . Just communicating with all friends.
About the warning : All friends who gaved us their software giveaway wishes have received an email announcing the exact publishing time. Normally the software name is included but it was not the case this time.
Check your E-Mail Spam Box for a message from 4 Free Team. Hope you’ll get the next one.
Yeah, I can see that, but it is NOT the same thing is it ??? Anyway, I have just subscribed your RSS. Thanks.

Welcome! Of course MindMap is NOT the same thing.
Thanks for subscribing to our RSS feed. You can even be pre-notified by e-mail if you decide ( and have the time and pleasure ) to be a bit more active. All friends who shared their whishes for 3 software giveaways have gained the right to be notified. See here

Guys sorry, it’s no spamming…
But this is a legit technique (I think) that will work some more days.

It works.
Hope that helps !

Why would we take you for a spammer when you’re trying to help everybody here?!

Let’s be fair and respect Odessa’s decision. I know you will agree Franck!
Well just as I feared, ..a good piece of software that I don’t need. Oh well, I’ll await your next one

Keep in touch!
Not sure how Franc is doing it, but there’s certainly an easy way to get serial: if this is not legit, why is still working ? It’s legit until further notice. Right now I have activated my personal Vista and XP machines, this is an awesome piece of software.
P.S. Serial works with Concepdraw Pro 7.5 and you might as well DL from VersionTracker, lots of bandwidth there (unlike Cnet). Cheers and thanks !
5 points
Useful information. Thanks fr !
You’re right when asking why the developer is keeping valid that serial.
Nevertheless we can only tell about official ( open ) promotion pages here AND NOT WORKAROUNDS.
Again : don’t worry ! We’ll have our own promotion for ConceptDraw !
i didn’t receive any mail.
does only those who qualified get mail?

Sorry Mayur but we have sent you the email like all those who put their giveaway wishes. Next time check your Spam box if there’s any message from 4 Free Team.
BTW : The subject you have proposed is coming soon !
Regards!
Thanks for the find! I’ll probably not find a situation where I’ll need it now, but perhaps it may be useful in the future.
Btw, the first link to the ConceptDraw Mindmap (orange text) links to the Major Geeks freeware list instead of the actual page.

Unfortunately you have missed a much more powerfull tool that MindMap 5 . Keep in touch with 4 Free ; you never know when another hot find occurs !

Hi guys.
Oh well. Instead of waiting so long, next time I will jump on things more quickly. This is one case where the turtle does not win the race. 
I should have come here before getting the key for Concept Draw Pro 7. Instead, I grabbed a key then came here. Now I’m going to cry.
Take care and have a good day.
