Arthur Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Their website is a bit slow. Get CrossOver for FREE now! Here’s how: Sign up using the form below. Once the form is complete, we will provide you a link. You can then download CrossOver and use it immediately. Within the next week you will receive an e-mail from us. Clicking the unique link in that email will create a free 12-month support entitlement on our server. Your support entitlement will give you full access to support and updates for the next year. I have just downloaded the Mac version of CrossOver (crossover-11.3.1.zip).
featured_spectre Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 I can post up the linux ones (providing I can find a host) and someone else can post up the Mac one. Would that work?
Arthur Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Would that work? There wouldn't be any point in doing that because, (a) the demo version of CrossOver can easily be download through the CodeWeavers website and (b), it has to be activated using the details they send you in an e-mail which are unique to each user.
