Computeractive is giving away Ashampoo Burning Studio 2007 for free without any limitations, its a fully featured CD, DVD, Bluray burning application (similar to Nero). Once you download it, you need to register online and obtain a serial, but no technical support is available (Who needs one ?)
While installing, check the Get fullversion key option. Once the install process is over, a new browser instance will open and take you to this page, fill your email address and click on send to obtain the key. Now start the program and fill the key, you’ll have a fully licenced version of Ashampoo Burning Studio 2007. Remember, registration automatically signs you up for their newsletter.
Nero has dominated the CD, DVD burning software segment by bundling it with CD, DVD burners, so Ashampoo is trying to break this monopoly and gain some popularity through word of mouth. Earlier, we saw Microsoft do the same by giving away Windows Vista Ultimate and Microsoft Office 2007 for free.

Currently I am using CDBurner XP, which is free also and pretty good. But I will check Ashampoo out.

I will check it out.
But for my purposes, the Nero Studio bundled with my combo drive seems sufficient enough for me.

This program looks alright - but in my opinion technical support is pretty vital. I have never heard of Ashampoo before. I will try this though. Great find Thilak!

Steven: Well, I think you don’t need Tech Support, just incase your stuck somewhere… just start using Nero again

A link would have been nice.

How old is this blog? I can find no trace of such an offer
either with Computer Active or with Ashampoo.

Jim: I guess the offer is over now

I tested, the link is still active, but I could not find a download link for the software and the downloads on the site (v6, v7) did not like the code. To bad I hadn’t found this earlier. Thanks anyway.
