TechSmith, the maker of Snag-It, is offering a free, legal copy of version 7.2.5 of their world class screen capture software. Offer ends June 5th at 5 PM Eastern time. Follow their directions to download your copy and get the software key needed to use this great program.

Be sure to register your copy to qualify for a 50% discount if/when you upgrade to the current version (9.1).

I got my copy when they ran a similar promotion about a year and a half ago and have been happily using it ever since. The program makes it very easy to capture sections of whatever appears on your desktop (including scrolling windows), edit those captures, and share them with others.

Note:This version won’t work with Vista.
