Registration Information
in [Open Office]
|
From: "Joshua Lee" on 28 Apr 2010 13:25 I install updates of OpenOffice every time they come out. There used to be 4 buttons: 1. Register now 2. Register Latter 3. I have already Registered 4. I do not want to register. I just installed the latest version and "I have already registered" was not an option. Why not? In my case the other 3 options are useless and make no sense. ________________________________ Joshua R.

I've been told, that this registration is not about collecting names and mailing addresses of people using OpenOffice.org for promotional and support reasons. The reason for this registration is counting the numbers of people downloading and installing one single version of the program. Therefore it is reasonable to register every new version you download. The option "I have already registered" would only make sense, if you removed and re-installed the same version of OOo. In this case just click on "I do not want to register" (again). As I said - that's only what I've been told. If one of the people involved in collecting this data wants to give us more or better information, please do so. Perhaps this could lead to an improved wording in the installation process...

I hope you understand the point I was trying to make. Dual boot and triple boot are still popular options, and those users typically have the same core programs on all OSes.
