Brought to you by

Giveaway of the Day

For the next 24 hours the full (and latest) version of Nexus Ultimate worth $24.95 will be available FREE from Give Away of the Day. If you ever wondered how Nexus Ultimate compares to other docks in the market, now is your chance to find out!

Nexus Ultimate is one of the most attractive, powerful and flexible docks available today, boasting just about every feature you’d expect from a dock and much more: widgets, mouse-over effects, skins, drag-and-drop, and even live icon reflections, background blur, system tray and tasklist support, etc. Completely customizable, Nexus Ultimate has thousands of backgrounds freely available online and is fully compatible with backgrounds for all 3rd party docks.

Terms and conditions

Please note that the Nexus Ultimate version you download and install during the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations: 1) No free upgrades to future versions; 2) Strictly personal usage.

Note also that this version allows the following upgrades:

  • to Winstep Xtreme (a single easy-to-install package featuring all of Winstep’s popular desktop enhancement products for Windows) for only $14.95 (normal price for Winstep Xtreme is $39.90).
  • to the next release of Nexus Ultimate (which includes free upgrades for a whole year) for only $12.50 (i.e. 50% discount, normal price for Nexus Ultimate is $24.95).

    • FAQ:

    Q) What's the catch?
    A) No catch, other than those described in Terms and Conditions above. Giveaway of the Day are sponsoring Nexus Ultimate for 24 hours.

    The goal of this promotion is also to 1) extend awareness of Winstep products outside the Windows Customization community and 2) hope people will like this software so much that they'll upgrade either to Winstep Xtreme or to the next version of Nexus Ultimate.

    Q) Does the Nexus Ultimate version available from Giveaway of the Day contain any Spyware or Adware?
    A) Absolutely NOT! You can download Nexus Ultimate from Giveaway of the Day in full confidence, but you MUST install and register the software within the 24 hours promotion period - after that the Setup application will not allow you to install the promotional version of Nexus Ultimate.

    Q) Is there any functional difference between the version of Nexus Ultimate at Giveaway of the Day and the one I get when I purchase it from the Winstep web site?
    A) No.

    Q) How do I download Nexus Ultimate from Giveaway of the Day?
    A) Go to their site here and click on the 'Download Nexus Ultimate Now' link. Please make sure to read the README file included with the installation program for instructions on how to register Nexus Ultimate after installation.

    And with all of that they don't tell you it's a trial version. Yup...got that annoying pop up that says you have this much time left before it becomes non-functional. I got rid of it.

    I think you maybe had a borked installation somehow, Uvah. No one else has noticed nor complained about having your problem....

    Too bad because it's such a terrific app!

    Why don't you email Jorge...he wouldn't let you hang that way. Try [email protected] and describe the problem you encountered. I really am tremendously satisfied with Jorge's support.  :thumbsup:

     

    @Carguy1: Glad you're enjoying it!  :)

    That's how I got mine! It's only good for one day though, then they don't offer it anymore. I love it!

    Sorry, only noticed this now because RedneckDude pointed to this old thread in 'Meter themes/icons in Nexus Ultimate'. The WC forums REALLY could do with a 'watch this thread' setting. Anyway...

    Are people so used to unresponsive tech support departments that they don't even bother trying to contact them before taking action?

    The GOTD version required you to get a serial number on the day of the promotion (this was clearly stated on the README file, but don't feel bad, you weren't the only one who chose to ignore it). Without the serial number, the GOTD version of Nexus Ultimate would run as a trial, as you have discovered. There are plenty of good reasons to do things this way, which I won't get into detail here because they have to do with copy protection of the software (Nexus Ultimate is NOT free, but commercial software, after all).

    Another enforcement of the GOTD promotion (and this applies to every software they promote on their web site) is that it can only be installed on the day of the promotion. If you need to re-install at a later date, you will have to purchase the full version of the software. This is where Winstep delievered above and beyond most other software listed at GOTD, in that it allowed you to upgrade to Winstep Xtreme for only $14.95 or to the regular version of Nexus Ultimate (which you can re-install whenever you want and offers you 1 full year of free upgrades) for only $12.50. But for this you need to have the GOTD version of Nexus Ultimate installed, registered, and running.

    Every user who contacted Winstep support with the same problem as you, or formated their PCs and wanted to re-install Nexus Ultimate, were offered the above deal. Most jumped at it, as they realized that a) it was their own mistake not having read the README and b) it is a GREAT deal, considering Nexus Ultimate costs $24.95 and Winstep Xtreme $39.90. Interesting fact is that, from the small minority that didn't, some got as far as insulting me personaly, even though they had nobody else to blame but themselves for not following the instructions.
