Sure enough. I tried to repeat my free Silver Efex Pro 2 magic that I got yesterday with three other email accounts. No joy. Log into each of them today, and there they are. Maybe Nik is trying to be purchased by Google or Facebook or something and is trying to boost their numbers of registered us

It's worth the odd extraneous email from Nik to get a legitimate free copy of their plugins. And they are a little bit odd. I used the same email address to register my paid for copy of the Complete Nik filters, but I still get a separate set of emails from Nik for the free copy of Color Efex
