I have been using the free crippled version of Roboform for several years and I found today you can get it free. I did it and it works.
I think these links are good, these are from RoboForm's checkout web page directly, I am not sure how I got them to show up, it may have been after installig the free 30day version of the software so if you don't trust the links you might try that route.
I am not putting them in as clickable links so you can see exactly what they are, just copy and paste.
I also think it said offer expires on June 15th but I bet that is a typical rolling offer expire date and if you install the trial tomorrow your new offer expires the next day...
I used the checkoutfree link, I think they are the same company, set up a new eBay account, bid on one item, and a couple hours later got a registration code for RoboForm (normally $30).
Seems like a shady deal but RoboForm really is a nice piece of software ond this deal worked for me (unlike others I have tried in the past like producttestpanel.com - don't go there!)
Enjoy!
p.s. if you find other software you can get free this way post the links and I will update the list.

Looks like one of those free ipod/camera/electronics offers, where you sign up for a service. One difference seems to be that you dont have to refer others.

I've been using Roboform 4.6.8 for years (last known, fully oporational, no-limited free version) never let me down once.
also, a related fw thread I love open source alternatives, but KeePass does not compare to RoboForm's auto-launch/login/submit & form-filling ease-of-use. This deal isn't shady. It is a creative deal which I haven't seen on FW Hot Deals often enough. Good find, OP! Green for you!
The eBay offer says BUY something, are you sure BIDDING gets you the code?

It all about the affiliate marketing, damn good way to make some dough for the site owners

Nope, eBay offer says Buy or bid.. and bid I did. $5000 on a $36000 car, no chance on winning that one! All I needed was an email address, no bank account, credit card, nothing else...
Copied from the select offer page: "Join the largest auction community. New eBay members only. You must buy or bid on something to receive free product. Click to learn more!"

the checkoutfree site is buy or bid, the other site says BUY, thus the confusion.

Yes, it is the latest version 6.9.3 Download it from the website and activate it to the Pro version with the code you receive.
I was not familiar with roboform so in case anyone else doesn't know here is a description of roboform:
Roboform is the top-rated Password Manager and Web Form Filler that completely automates password entering and form filling. RoboForm was named PC Magazine Editor's Choice, and CNET Download.com's Software of the Year. RoboForm:
Memorizes your passwords and Logs You In automatically. Fills long registration and checkout forms with one click. Encrypts your passwords to achieve complete security. Generates random passwords that hackers cannot guess. Fights Phishing by filling passwords only on matching web sites. Defeats Keyloggers by not using keyboard to type passwords. Backs up your passwords, Copies them between computers. Synchronizes passwords between computers using GoodSync. Searches for keywords in your passwords, notes and Internet.

IE 7 and Vista are now supported
taewlee said: is pro worth the trouble or $30? from the website the main difference between free and pro is the number of passcards you can have.
correct me if im wrong Yes, because most people have more than 10 websites that require login info (forums, online stores, emails, utility bills, credit cards, banks, etc.). If you use the same username/pw for every website you've got bigger problems if someone gets that info.
Roboform can generate a very strong password for you, save it and auto-login to the website. All you have to remember is one password for Roboform and it remembers the rest for you.
RF is one of the most useful apps I've ever used. It is worth every penny and even worth the trouble to get it for free.

"Anyone know how long it takes to get the download link email?"
I also signed up for eBay on the checkoutfree link. It said it credits in "1 day" but I actually got my download link and license key within 2-3 hours.
Got it! Just FYI, I signed up for napster trial offer. It offered instant confirmation and I was able to cancel the free napster trial within 5 min of receiving the email with roboform code. In all about 10 min of work for free roboform pro. Great Deal.

This is actually affiliate marketing. Probably not even sponsored by Roboform. It looks extremely similar to those free ipod sites (sign up for offers and get a free ipod).

That would be hilarious. They buy one copy, and make money off the signups and distribute the key to everyone who signs up.

here's the first half of my license key: 6L4-HWY-...-... Is yours the same?
the page i got was on a roboform.com url, so they're definitely in on it.

Well, it worked fine until I checked my account on checkoutfree. I seem to be getting a free copy of MakeYourOwnRingtones instead. Oh boy. With this run of luck I'll probably win my bid on eBay too.
For some reason when i used the checkoutfree and got to the eBay registration I never got the confirmation email from eBay.
I also did the http://www.trialpay.com one and was able to get the registration conformation. I placed one bid on a harmony remote. My bid attempt of $7 was already outbid by the current bid but that was enough to get my Roboform code this morning.
been using it for years since I got sick of Gator's increasing bloat and spyware.
Actually paid for it, but well worth $30....even better for free!Ditto. I think I paid $20 for it with a coupon but it's money well spent. And yes, I also put up with Gator for way too long.
Worked like a charm for me. 1 (unsuccessful) bid, 4 hours, and I had my pro activation code. Now I can get rid of the "other" password utilities, that don't even come close!
