Get Komodo for free

Python Ruby

The kind people at ActiveState are currently giving away free licenses of Komodo Personal Edition.

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Go here and click the Buy button for Komodo Personal Edition. (Offer not valid for Pro edition)
  2. Enter the promo code kmd3n9-ur8 and update your cart. If it worked, you’ll see that cost is now $0.00.
  3. Hit the Checkout button and fill in your information. You will receive your license via email, so be sure to enter your address correctly.
  4. Follow the instructions in the email you receive.

That’s it! You’ll have a full version of Komodo Personal Edition at no cost to you. The only catch is that the offer ends December 31, 2005… that’s tomorrow.

Also, in case you’ve never heard of it, Komodo is an IDE for Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, and Tcl development. It works in Windows, Linux, and OS X. I installed it tonight for the first time (free, as above) and it looks great! Definitely better than Eclipse IMHO, and a little prettier than SPE. Definitely recommended.

Hat tip to Jacques Marneweck for the link.

Update: Corrected the date above. It should read December 31, 2005, not 2006. But according to Mateusz in the comments, it still works.

    Hm, seems tomorrow is not December 31, 2006 but December 31, 2005 :-)
    But today is January 1, 2006, so it does not work anymore, I’ve tried :-(
    May be next December, hehe

    Inspite of it’s a day after the end of Komodo promotion I tried to buy it for free :-) And it seems it works! I follow instructions from the post above and after I clicked Checkout button I got a message that my Cart is empty.
    So, I thought that means the promotion has expired. A few minutes later I checked my e-mail and what I saw? I saw e-mail notification with information about my serial number + links where I can download Komodo + Licence manager. Installed, run and tested – it works!
    Is this still legal?

    Hurray! I managed to register my free copy of Komodo in the last day of promotion. I’ve just got confirmation from ActiveState.
    But now, this offer has expired.

    Cheers

    Well, as of June 8 2006 when I tried it, OFFER EXPIRED!

    Dang, I guess I found your site too late.
