I noticed several people commenting on the last post saying that they were planning on buying it again because they’d lost their first installation.
NO ONE EVER NEEDS TO DO THIS
Over on the right hand side of the page is the “Request New Download Link” menu item. All you have to do is email newlink@drwicked.com and I will send you a new install link straight away. The only reason the download link expires is because I don’t want just anyone to download it, only the people who have paid for it.
Again I reiterate, as much as it’s very kind of you to pay me again:
YOU ONLY NEED TO BUY THE DESKTOP EDITION ONCE
Thank you.
Tried that… but I shall try again…
Srsly? That’d be effing amazing. ::sends off email::
I’m recommending this program to all of my friends, and even though I haven’t bought it yet, I think I will when I cease to be poor. It’s helped me maintain a daily quota of writing everyday, and I don’t think I could have done it without this! YOU KICK ASS DR. WICKED!
Dr. Wicked, I wish your blog, like another doctor’s we know, was of the singalong variety.
Unless, like me, you can’t remember which e-mail address you registered the software with ;) I’ve sent a number of requests in the past, which haven’t been answered, and I’ve always assumed it’s because I don’t remember which e-mail address I used to register it. I will try again with a few e-mail alias variants. Thanks for PSA’ing the link.
A good idea for write or die (i know this is horendously off topic) is to remove the functionality of the backspace key. I hate it so much!
My request is a bit more complicated than most, thanks to a series of wacky shenanigans and unforeseen circumstances, but I have sent my e-mail! Hopefully you can help me out; I miss the Desktop Edition. If by some chance it does become necessary, and I can figure out how to get PayPal to respond to my queries, I would gladly pay for it again!
Woe is me, Dr. Wicked, for your website will not let me email you!
This is a totally selfish question but I have to ask. About a year ago (maybe?) I bought the desktop version of write or die but I stopped using it completely because I *hate* Adobe Air. (I run Linux, your application had minor issues — nothing really major — but I really just hate even having Adobe Air installed and/or running). Any chance that you’ll write a OS specific version of the application? Absent that, are you aware of anything that provides similar functionality as a desktop app (specifically for Linux)? Perhaps an add-on for a text editor or something? (See, I said it was a selfish question).
At any rate: I love the application itself, the idea behind it, and I recommend it frequently to others. Thanks for creating it.
I believe someone made a minor mode for emacs – if not I’m sure someone will make a desktop version at some point…
I’ve sent multiple emails requesting a link but still haven’t gotten a new link. And I know I’m using the correct email, so what do I need to do to get a new download link?
I’m one of the believers!
I asked for a new code after my hard drive crashed, but Dr. Wicked didn’t have the e-mail address I used…
Because I used my wife’s e-mail when I bought it. Once the snafu on my end was cleared up, I’m back to being a happy Write or Die fan!
Use it. Love it.
Thanks Doc!
I find this ironic because I have emailed you three times requesting exactly that, another download link, and you never respond. Unfortunately I emailed you directly. Maybe emailing newlink@drwicked.com will yield different results.
Hi — I’ve also emailed three times and would really really like a new link. Pretty please!
That’s useful *sends an enail via the link*
I just came onto your website now to see if I could do such a thing! Ahh very helpful for you to post this now :)
I received my link (thank you!) but I was out of town for a few days and it has expired, I guess… anyway, it says I have no downloads available. Can it be reactivated or should I make a new request? tyvm :)
How long does it usually take to get the download link? My payment went through yesterday.
I’ve emailed twice and still no reply :/
That’s a relief. I’ve purchased it twice and I just bought new computers for my house and was coming back to see if there was a way around that this time.
I just paid ten dollars on pay pal for this item, but where do I download it at? Do I request a new download link?
Oh whoops, never mind going to check email.
Though I would really like to choose that I am fundametally opposed to anything awesome (as this would explain many of my choices), I respect that you put this question out there…so: the reason that I am not yet willing to put forth $10 is that I am, like so many writers, afraid to commit to anything that will make me write. Yet, I am intrigued by the idea of this site and want to give it a try. Thank you for creating it. If I use it like I hope I will (I am very connected to my words and would hate to lose any of them) I will happily pay 10.00. It’s not a lot. Tho, I think people get really excited if they see something for under 5.00, especially with a .99. Good luck to you.
Still waiting for my link! Please send it asap.
Acrobat Air thing is no longer supported under Linux, and the 64 bit version has never worked. *sigh* So looks like I’ll have to write a version for myself in Python or Mono before November Wrimo starts in 5 days…
I just returned to the website today to find this out, if I had to buy it again, but I don’t! WOOHOO! Gettin’ geared up for NaNoWriMo!
How long does it take to get a new download link?
Would this be the same if you wanted to install it on two computers? I’d like to have it on my work computer as well for when I’m on lunch…
I’ve purchased Write or Die twice in the past because of losing it on crashed laptops. I emailed on 8 December asking for a new download link as my old laptop died and the progams couldn’rt be accessed.
Still waiting.
Are you not supporting the product any more?
Dude, If you can’t follow through with promises, don’t make them. You haven’t returned any of my e-mails. I don’t want to have to buy this thing again. I’m about ready to just give up on the whole thing. I guess I’ll keep using the web app and maybe burn up enough of your bandwidth to make you reconsider, but it seems unlikely.
I ordered the pc app a month ago through paypal and still haven’t received the download link or received a reply from my emails.
Yeah, I’ve also emailed several times, asking for a download link, and haven’t received any response. Thankfully, I only paid for it once, and I did get to use it for a little while, otherwise I’d dispute the charges through PayPal.
I bought the program late last night, and had the link within minutes. For the first time in months, I actually wrote over 1k!
The thing that concerns me, is the seaming lack of support from Dr. Wicked. I’ve been reading the comments, and I’m now hoping that I never have to try and get a new link for the program, even though I know at some point I’ll be replacing my current laptop with a new one. Luckily, my current laptop is around a year and a half old, so it should be okay for awhile longer.
I run several WriMo sites as well as a PlotMo site, and if I knew support would be available, I would endorse WoD to my members urging them to get the program.
There is one thing I’ve found with the program though. I tried doing a Word War with a friend who also has Write or Die, and we couldn’t connect. I put in my name, and it just sat there until I gave up. My friend said the same thing happened to her, so we just did it the old-fashioned way.
Good luck, everyone. Happy writing!

Why is the Dropbox option on the iPad app? It doesn’t work and freezes my iPad….why not get rid of it to avoid upset?
Just sayin
Bought the program ($10) after reading about the program in a journal article. Got the link. Downloaded the program and then. . . no joy. I emailed Dr. Wicked two or three days ago and so far no reply.
A small version of the screen shot at the top of this page shows up and nothing else. None of the buttons work. No “page” shows up so I can start typing. I gave Dr. W the specs on my laptop (non-apple).
Would like to use the program. Would like a response.
Dr. Wicked, where’s the love? :-(
I purchased Write or Die Desktop Edition on 5/26/10, with the DL link sent to the email address registered for this post. I’ve emailed you 5/26/12 (exactly 2 years later, creepy), 6/5/12, and 6/23/12 requesting a new link, again all from the same, original email address, and I haven’t received a reply.
Please send me the DL link again! I love Write or Die and it’s seriously missing on my new laptop.
Yours wickedly,
Justin
I just paid for it again– not just because it’s easier/faster but also because I hope you’ll develop an Android app as well and I want to help make that happen! :D
I’ve been trying to get a replacement link from you with more than four e-mails spaced out over the course of the summer and almost a year ago. why haven’t you even responded to one of them?
I agree, I have been trying to acquire a new download link for quite some time now as well, only to get no response. :/
