Can I extend my free trial period?
My 30 days is up, but I'm not done testing. How can I get an extension for a week or so?

A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Greg
!"... My 30 days is up, but I'm not done testing. How can I get an extension for a week or so? If you order a second copy of the trial, you might be able to get an extra thirty days. But the activation software may not like that. If you used a second PC with a second copy of the trial, you would get 30 more days. If you used the same copy of the trial on another PC, you would get 4 uses of the software (well, that's what you'd get if the technology is still the same as with the Office XP trials - I'm not sure whether it's changed since then) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |

I'd doubt it but you can always call Microsoft and ask. Now I've got to
ask - what are you "testing" that you need 40 days or so? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Greg" wrote in message ... My 30 days is up, but I'm not done testing.

You could try the Control Panel, Date and Time and set the date back a
couple or three weeks. -- Don -------- Vancouver, USA - One of the great cities in one of the 45+ countries in the Americas! "Greg" wrote in message ... My 30 days is up, but I'm not done testing. How can I get an extension for a week or so? |

I don't think that works. It sounds good in theory but .............

Hmmm.... must set up it's own hours, days.
The next drastic move would be fdisk the hard drive, format, reinstall everything. In my case, I'd rather just buy the software than go through that nightmare. -- Don -------- Vancouver, USA - One of the great cities in one of the 45+ countries in the Americas!

In my case, I'd rather just buy the software than go through that nightmare. If it's the same technology that I've seen, it won't work. You have to use Product Activation to activate the trial, otherwise you only get 4 uses of it before it dies. You can't activate any trial more than once. You *could* install it in a clean Virtual PC or VMWare virtual machine, save the machine state with 4 uses left, then use it 4 times, restore the previous machine state, repeat ad infinitum. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |
