WHAT?
Older versions of SnagIt and Camtasia Studio are being made available from TechSmith for free.
Just wondering TechSmith, why do I get a pop-up message every time I open SnagIT to buy (US$ 39.95), unlock, or continue the trial? Alright, that one makes business sense, but can we continue this trial for as long as we want? Or does it come with a (hidden) limited free trial period (e.g. 30 days)? Is there any catch here (besides promoting these two tools virally)?
Anyway, if it does come with a limited free trial period, I suppose we can enjoy these two learning tools for that period at least (Though, I will be really disappointed! Who cares!).
SnagIT?
SnagIt is a comprehensive screen capture application that allows you to capture, edit, and share any type of data from your PC.
- Download SnagIt 7.2.5 (English)
- Download SnagIt 7.2.5 (German)
- Download SnagIt 7.2.5 (French)
Register SnagIt 7.2.5 demo as a fully licensed version.
"After installing SnagIt 7.2.5, you will be eligible to upgrade to the current version, SnagIt 8.2, for just 13,50£ (New version is 27£)."
Camtasia Studio?
Camtasia Studio enables you easily to record your screen to create training, demo, and presentation videos.
Register Camtasia Studio 3.1.3 as a fully licensed version.
"After installing Camtasia Studio 3.1.3, you will be eligible to upgrade to the current version, Camtasia Studio 5.0, for just 88 £ (New version is 176 £)."
Alright, let's enjoy the free versions, and hopefully there aren't any hidden free trial periods, and unwanted bugs giving us virtual headaches. As for upgrading to get the new features, I suppose if one really needs those new features, perhaps one should consider. But, if the free features are sufficient, why... :)
