Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / December 2005Office Test Drive expired after first day?!
I just purchased an IMAC G5 and installed the Microsoft Mac Office. After installation, I went to try all the applications and they all bark at me saying that the test drive has expired. I then get a link to buy it. What happened? Is there a fix? Who should I contact? Thanks, Dave, FL > I just purchased an IMAC G5 and installed the Microsoft Mac Office. > After installation, I went to try all the applications and they all > bark at me saying that the test drive has expired.

By the looks of things from the info you've given, you've installed the "proper" version of Office over the top. You are supposed to remove the test version first. If this is the case and I haven't misunderstood you, remove all Office applications (there's a special tool for this in the file directory), then reinstall the full version. On the other hand, if you only want the trial version, then remove the Office applications as before, and download the trial from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ (if you can find it: I can't see it at the moment). Hope this helps. PhilD -- <>< I, on the other hand, got the "Test Drive has expired" message the first time I tried to launch Excel, and have not installed any version of Office over the Test Drive. Is there a way out of that? Larry First, remove the Office Test Drive following the instructions here: <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=office2004td> Then, download & install the latest version of the Test Drive (11.2.1). <http://snipurl.com/officemactd> On 12/28/05 3:26 PM, in article 1135805186.097659.144460@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com, > I, on the other hand, got the "Test Drive has expired" message the > first time I tried to launch Excel, and have not installed any version > of Office over the Test Drive.
