Trial version of BCM ack 2/26/2007 7:16:00 PM I recently purchased the standard version of MS Outlook 2007 (plus have the Home Version of Office 2007) and want to try out BCM without having to install the entire Office Small Business trial version. Is there any way that I can accomplish this?

Re: Trial version of BCM "Chris Heydemann [MSFT]" <chrishey[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 2/26/2007 9:00:12 PM Sure. You can download trial Office 12 Professional or Small Business from http://us1.trymicrosoftoffice.com/. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Re: Trial version of BCM ack 2/26/2007 9:18:25 PM Thanks for the prompt response. If I understand this correctly, I would have to install the entire Professional or Small Business version (even though I already have Office Home and Office Outlook 07) in order to try out BCM? Then once the trial is over, if I decide not to purchase one of these versions I would have to reinstall the 07 versions that I purchased? (Incidentally, I have no interest in the Accounting package). I did try to install just the BCM (Download 2) from the URL you listed. It installed but I was unable to run due to an incorrect product key. I did receive the trial product key but have no idea how to enable this given that I'm running the Office Home and Outlook 07 packages. Please advise. Thanks!!

Re: Trial version of BCM ack 2/26/2007 9:46:37 PM This is exactly what I did. When I then started Outlook I got the wizard that then allowed me to activate successfully. However, once I tried to create a new database using the wizard, I got an error message -- something about not having the correct code / version (I uninstalled since then so don't have the exact message). I can reinstall and try again but seems like it is checking my Outlook 07 Product Key and not liking it (with no option to enter my trial Product Key). Make sense?

Re: Trial version of BCM "Clinton Ford [MSFT]" <ClintonFordMSFT[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 2/27/2007 12:21:33 AM BCM 2007 will only work with the product keys that come with Small Business, Professional, or Ultimate Office Editions.
