# Cool Promotion - Automise for $20 for 24h window

By Roy Osherove November 28, 2006 In [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools), [General Software Devel...](https://osherove.com/blog/category/general-software-devel)

**Historical article** · Originally published November 28, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

A little bird tells me that in a few hours you'll be able to get [Automise](http://www.automise.com/automise.aspx) (that's the system admin's version of FinalBuilder - my favorite build automation tool) [over here](http://www.bitsdujour.com/) for a 90% discount - less than $20 instead of $195 for a 24 hour window.

That's a good way to draw attention to yourself :)

As a happy [FinalBuilder](http://www.automise.com/finalbuilder.aspx) user I can tell you that Automise is the same, only without the compiler and version control support (great for sys admin's)- oh, and it's $20 bucks!
