We were saying this article is unusual because we were only having the registration pages , but no download links for the three found promotions ( the serials were not working with different versions we have tried ).
The last two days, while searching for DLs, we have contacted the developers of the software from the third promotion and they have explained us that those license keys are no longer accepted anyway.
… But we have been fortunate enough to find the DL for Xequte Pix Manager v7 … And we’re publishing this article in this “unusual manner” because we are 100% sure one of our readers will also find the good DL for ACDSee Photo Manager 8, and share it with everyone !
So there are “only” two promotions … And since it’s about two photo managers, we have taken this oportunity and released the 4Free BestS - Best Digital images Organizers survey.
Please take your time and kindly participate in this survey too, like many of you are doing in all 4Free BestS Surveys.
Mayur has shared with us a few days ago the registration link for ACDSee Photo Manager 8. Unfortunately both Mayur and the team have a limited free time these days, and the registration had not worked for the few versions we have tried from different sources.
According to the registration mail you will receive ( in German!), the promotion is for Version 2008, and not for the latest ACDSee Photo Manager 2009 ( worth $49,99 ).
ACDSee Photo Manager 2009 lets you quickly view and find photos, fix flaws, and share your favorites through e-mail, prints and free online albums.
Key features
View photos instantly
Organize everything

We have tried them, of course, but it didn’t work.
Maybe we have done something wrong, who knows ?!
Please tell us ( show us ) if it worked for you.
ACDC Photo Manager 8 - I believe I followed the information carefully, but am getting the following message, and no email, when I use the pcpraxis link
;Only a certain number of license codes are available and this offer is only valid for a limited period.
Unfortunately, all available, free license codes have been requested, or the offer, until 29 January 2010 was to be expired. It is no longer available.
You can continue to use the 30-day trial version of ACDSee 8 on your CD-ROM. Or, go to de.acdsee.com to our latest version of the product for free or purchase.’
However, the pcmagazin link works fine, e-mail received.
just for info

The http://de.acdsee.com/covermount/pcpraxis/84376 Link isnt good anymore, after entering the Email Adresse it says that all Serial Codes are gone. I read somewhere that the Promotion was only offered to the first 10.000 so that might be why.

If I’m not wrong yesterday it was still valid (!)
Forget those URLs, they change the program but not the description
Try maaboo.com/soft/graphics/photo_organizers/1063ACDSee-8-Photo-Manager.htm
It’s version 8, but for some reason, the license key I got in e-mail does not work.

So just another not-working installer.
Thanks for this unusual find!
The first ACDSee link says the offer is expired, but the “pcmag” link resulted in receiving a serial number via e-mail from ACDSee. In the e-mail — translated from German — it said
To start ACDSee 8, you simply slide your PC Magazine, Computer Shopper and
Internet Magazine CD into your computer, follow the instructions to install and
give. Below your license code.
I was able to download Xequite Pix Manager immediately, and the regristration page said I should get a serial number via e-mail within 24 hours.
P.S. XXX

The other problem we’ll be soon solved.
Thanks 4Free! The little bit that I have done with photo managing, I’ve used the free Picasa.5 points This might be helpful.
Additional: I installed PM8 as a trial and went to enter license code. I has a 5 part code broken by dashes. The code I received from acdsee only has 4 parts.

It must be a special edition. The installer must certainly be out there !

… Unfortunately !
Have to give this a miss as I have said in the survey that Picasa is the only one I need to manage my photos.
Actually it does more than manage photos. It also have photo editing & enhancements and also web upload.
Thanks.

Then Picassa is your choice.
Hi folks…it didn’t work for me and i tried a few different downloads too but wrong serial number box comes up and the install wizard freezes, waiting for the correct number. I have tried a couple of times but the install just goes to the “finish” page. Oh well, some you win…..
I might try their Pro version in the morning.
I registered for the pix manager though lol.

I have many many photos on my computer. Have never used a manager.

But, I’ll wait till it’s working. Thanks anyway.

I too receive the message that the promotion for ACDSee has ended.
But I already have the newest version with key, so thanks anyway!
Hi !
The second promotion for ACDSee is still working.
The problem is the installer !
program name: ACDSee 8 Foto Manager
product version 8.1.100 (v8.1 build 100)
language: Deutsch (Deutschland)
file name: setup.exe
file version: 8.2.160.0
file size: 13.754.064 bytes
All we need is a DL … Or the time to look for it.
I found another link to PM8:
qweas.com/download/graphics/photo_organizers/acdsee_8_photo_manager.htm
But same results, unfortunately. I’m still looking….
got license code from this link http://de.acdsee.com/covermount/pcmagazin/57362
But the DL link is fileguru.com/getfile.php?fileid=4874&i=1…
They give also photo manager 2009 key which i haven’t tested yet.
Sorry but it’s hard for me to believe that installer it’s working.
I remember I have tried that version, and it did not work.
Has it really registered for you ?
i think all this searching is useless, obviously because the installer is a special version which no file hosting website has (or should have).
best option is to buy that magazine and upload it to a file hosting website (rapidshare?) and provide the link from here, otherwise its useless.

This would be a first among hundreds magazines promotions revealed here and there.
ACDSee wants everything. It became huge, slow… just like Nero. I think that’s why ACDSee loses some market.
However, there’re less competitors in Burning area as photo management. No one can compete Nero, but a lot of ones can compete ACDSee.

Hi!
There’s an ACDSee 2008 key & download links instructions (Spanish) on XXXX
You must be kidding !
It’s ACDSee Photo EDITOR - revealed to the entire web-world by fake91 on 4Free two days before that spanish article.
http://for-free-on-internet.com/2009/10/acdsee-photo-editor-2008-full-version-worth-35-4-free/
Go and tell that spanish guy to give credit to his sources.
Just another copy-cat ! ( Spanish this time )
This is a direct downloadlink to ACDSee 8. I will try the install and registration and get back with the results.

I doubt it will work, but who knows !
Nope. License code invalid for this installation.
Sad but true.
There might be even more problems even if we got the installer. If You remember ACDSee for Pentax you might not know that there is ACDSee for Pentax 3.0, but it needs CD inside (sic!) http://www.acdsee.com/support/products/acdsee/3/pentax
But still if anyone could try to get installer from cd and test it that would help a lot, and situation mentioned above is not very likely.
@too456
I already tried to propose this for another set of programs but it is in fact illegal to distribute the magazine “property”.. anything on the internet is to be found.. but hardcopies shouldn’t be distributed.. i know it’s not good but we should repsect what this community has worked for so far..!!!
i thing we will find the link eventually

Hi!
Another site with versions that do NOT work
http://www.oldversion.com/ACDSee.html
Listed here just so that others don’t waste time trying… I’m beginning to think that the previous comment “This would be a first among hundreds magazines promotions” is quite probably REALLY the first among hundreds…
We have already tried that one too. As we have done thart in a hurry, we have let you try it, hoping we have done something wrong.
Unfortunately that was not the case …
As I hardly do any photo work, I’ll skeep these ones. Tks anyway.

This looks massively difficult!
Searched many places, found and tested several downloads, all to no avail.
Even managed to track down the link for the magazines parent company, these three magazines (along with some others) are published in German by http://www.magnus.de/
The software part is here: http://software.magnus.de/ and the ACDSee section is here: http://software.magnus.de/grafik-video-audio/download/acdsee.html but it is another dead-end as they only offer links to download versions 10 and 11.
It is beginning to dawn on me that this must be one of the “only” giveaway where you actually need the DVD from the magazine.
It might be found in an illegal wat but I will “never” go that route!
2 points
Yup !
Annoying situation !
i think i have found the real download link(i think so)
the file is of 12 mb the exact size of acdsee 8
i will confirm it after 2:00 clock bcos i don’t download now &
wanna waste my bandwith
No problems with the other download.
Xequte Pix Manager v7 is interesting!
Feels like a cross between Picasa and Irfanview.
Will have to test it further.

Hi,
Very well done - again!!
What a pity the lack of a live download for ACDSee Photo Manager is, especially for the enthousiasts of photo related stuff. But I have faith in this community, eventually it’ll be unearthed.
Sibill left an interesting post on Raymond’s Forum earlier today:
http://www.raymond.cc/forum/freebies/16773-acdsee-photo-manager-8-registration-only-and-xequte-pix-manager-v7-2.html.
Not a solution or a hint to the download link hunt, but might explain why it’s so hard to be found.
Anyway, I’m happy to have received a license for Xequte Pix Manager v7. Hopefully I’ll manage to play around with it a little over the holidays (in terns of time).
Thanks again 4Free & Merry X-mas to everyone.

Hi!
Already saw that DL on Raymond.
Go and tell to that blogger to give credit to his sources. He has never done it !
The DL is on DepositFile … Not an official one. And it’s a “german-only”, if I’m not wrong.
Thank you!
