Just got the email about 15 minutes ago and please let me explain...
The CrossOver is an application for Intel-based Macintosh to run certain Windows applications without using a virtual environment or booting into BootCamp. Of course it doesn't support ALL applications, but it's quite handy and works well. Again the program is based on some free method (X11 and such), however it is a hassle to do it (I tried).
Here's their official site about the CrossOver. Remember this is an offer for the STANDARD, not the professional. Also on that page there is a list of what program it can run.
So how you get it? Well here's the catch. You have to use Trial-Pay. No don't boo me just yet... listen, click HERE to go the special offer page from Trial-Pay, put in your email and name there.
After that it'll show you a list of trial offers. What you can do is pick an offer that you can try for free, like the "Real Broadband Essentials" (PC Only, I suggest you sign up the whole process in a PC rather then OS X.)
It'll pop up a new window take you to the Real Broadband Essentials sign-up page. DON'T CLOSE THE TRIAL-PAY WINDOW YET! Yes it will ask you for the CC information but since it's Real, I'd trust them. No up-front cost neither.
So follow the ordering page, when you are done, sign in to the Real Broadband Essentials. After that? Go back to the Trial-Pay page, click "Check my status" and VOLIA! Wait for the registration & activation email (arrived in 30 seconds for me) which will take you to the CodeWeavers, register with the activation code provided in the email and you are done! Don't forget to download the CrossOver and change out your account password for support and program activation!
After that? Enjoy and CANCEL all those trials. DONE.
P.S.: The Real stuff cancellation number is 1-866-212-1343, make sure you have the account number, which in the email they sent you.
