I have downloaded a couple of giveaways, but every time I try to activate them it fails. I am behind a firewall and must use a proxy server to get out. What do I need to do to allow the activation to know about the proxy server so it will work?
Activate and proxy server

I was just posting the same thing...
I eventually managed to find the probable reason for the error message "Invalid key" which appeared when I tried to register some software. Today I carried my notebook in my office, downloaded RoboTask, installed it and try to activate it. I could not manage to do it, because of the "invalid key" error. Now I am at home, and I just tried to activate it: presto!, activation was successful.
The only difference between this morning and now is that at work I connect to the Internet through a proxy (with username and password), while at home I have a direct connection. Please note that the connection to giveawayoftheday.com was made - my personal firewall asked me to confirm the request; so I guess that activate.exe reads the dara for connection stored in Internet Explorer. But it may be that passing through a proxy modifies somehow the data which is sent.
I hope this could help you finding a solution to this annoying problem!

My problem is that when I run Activate, it finishes by saying "Software is activated" but look in the ABout and GUESS WHAT YOU SEE????? TRIAL!!!
Now I know my firewall didn't cause the activate program to lie to me did it? If so it is a very bad influence on young 'activate-ers.
