Unlimited Giveaway - Giveaway that doesn't have any obvious time or license number limitations and the giveaway doesn't fall into any other subcategory below.
Ending Soon - Some sites hosts giveaways that last for one or for a couple of days only. Use this prefix for those.
Extended Trial - Licenses are usually distributed with a 1 year validation period. Use this prefix if the licenses given away are valid for 3,6,9 months for example.
Promotional - Paid products that became free during the promo period. Usually conducted around holidays.
External Giveaway - Contests hosted on other sites that are giving away 50 licenses minimum.
Free eBook - Books are one of the greatest treasures. Share it with no hesitation.


Description

There's no need to thoroughly review a product that is on the giveaway. What the product is, it's key features and one screenshot is enough. You can additionally provide a product homepage and the direct download link for the product that is on the giveaway that can be found on the product home page.

If you've found the giveaway or promo that is sharing the license keys for certain product and you are sure that the shared license key is same for everyone you can post the license key in the description and put it in the spoiler.
