From: steve55 on 13 May 2006 08:24 i did have an evaluation copy on this machine which expired. i am now using the machine in a different environment and I downloaded another eval copy as I want to demonstarte in the new environment. However I can only seem to get the expired message, is there a way round this?
From: Steve House [Project MVP] on 13 May 2006 11:22 No - the evaluation period is for you to have a chance to decide if the product will work out for you or not. Once the period expires, you need to either purchase the regular version or move on. Otherwise people could use it for years without actually buying the product merely be reinstalling it every 90 days. -- Steve House [Project MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "steve55" <steve55(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F6D894EF-3DBB-42AA-A9CF-01BE81B0BB13(a)microsoft.com... >i did have an evaluation copy on this machine which expired. i am now using > the machine in a different environment and I downloaded another eval copy > as > I want to demonstarte in the new environment. > > However I can only seem to get the expired message, is there a way round > this?

From: Steve House [Project MVP] on 14 May 2006 10:38 Sorry - we're not Microsoft officials so there's not much we can do about your protestations except explain the way the system works. The only workaround I'm aware of is to completely reformat the hard drive, reinstall Windows and all your software, and start over with a clean slate. If by "demonstrate" you mean you're training people in its use and work for an educational institution, then you can save money by purchasing the educational version or if your employer is a Microsoft Training Partner you may be eligble for a very low cost NFR copy through them or be covered under a site license. If you're "demonstrating" in order to sell it to a client, then Microsoft makes NFR versions available to its dealer network, etc, for exactly that purpose. But if you mean you were using it in your previous job and have now moved on to a new employer taking your computer with you, are continuing to use it yourself and hope to convince them to adopt it company- wide, well, you really should be using the regular retail version for that sort of thing since you're planning to do real work with it. -- Steve House [Project MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "steve55" <steve55(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:13925BE0-C4B1-4157-8758-C5C05F7D5C4D(a)microsoft.com... > But this is to demonstrate to people in a different organisation where the > machine is now employed. > > "Steve House [Project MVP]" wrote: > >> No - the evaluation period is for you to have a chance to decide if the >> product will work out for you or not.
