Singing in the wrong key

Help - Once I hit the try it now and then get to the log in to passport - the website bombs. I have repeatedly received the error to delete all my cookies - which I have and to no avail - I cannot download the trial software so that I can enter the key I received at the launch - very very frustrating.

Gordon, there's no problem downloading to a machine you aren't installing on. Regarding the second question, you might want to look into our deployment tools. With WinPE and ImageX, you can capture an existing machine, then deploy the captured image to a new machine. There will be some caveats because Windows Vista activation will trip due to the change of the machine configuration.

CompletePC backup/restore might be easier. But I haven't done a restore to a completely different machine. That might be a fun test for this weekend.

One install per machine

I have a couple of questions about the install of the free Office 2007/Groove 2007 from the Launch Event (i.e. one machine only):

1) Can I download to one machine and install it on another (i.e. take advantage of a faster connection)?

2) If I rebuild my machine or buy a new one, can I remove the first installation and install it on the rebuilt or new machine? (This is important to me since I keep a back-up copy of any important software in case my machine crashes.)

Thanks,

Somehow, the tag line for the Vista / Office 2007 Launch Tour seems appropriate as I write this blog

Hi Keith,

Thanks for looking into this....I never think to read the EULA.

Misty, I reviewed the EULA during my install this evening. It was very clear to me. One machine only. Sorry.

Parking Fee's

Just another quick FYI...Microsoft might want to double check next time they call people to inform them of the event parking fees. We were all called and told to bring $4.00 for parking at the hotel. When we left the hotel we were all charged $8.00 instead. Not a big deal, but some of us only had $4 and were caught in a sticky situation holding up cars. At least I didn't have to pawn my watch or anything...lol.

I am running Windows XP Professional and using Internet Explorer 6.0. I'm finding through talking to others that have attempted to download Office, that the problem is hit and miss. Some people don't have the issue and others do...odd. At least the fix is simple!

For me it was: XP Pro SP2, IE 6.0.9200.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Who comes up with these crazy version numbers???
