Activation, Registration, New User

[iapinabq]

I edit and produce the newsletter for my neighborhood association. The
association recently purchased a copy of Microsoft Publisher 2007 for me to
use in order to facilitate my work. Once I am no longer producing the
newsletter for the association, we would like to be able to have the new
editor install the software.

I have installed and activated the software, but not registered it. I think
it should be registered in the name of the association, but how do I do this?

How can I ensure that if at some point I stop performing this function for
the assocation, they can pass on the software to the next editor? I have read
the "Retail License Terms," and it seems to me that if we register the
software in the name of the association, the new editor should be able to
install it on his or her machine.

I know this note has multiple questions; please address as many of them as I
have made clear.

Thank you.

From Microsoft Knowledge Base Article

Activation is different from product registration. If you want, you can
voluntarily register your product by providing your name and contact information
during product activation. If you want to receive future communications about
product updates, service releases, and special offers, you should register your
product.

There is information in the the above article that you may find helpful. To be
honest I don't know exactly how to register Publisher once the license has been
activated.

Thank you for your reply.

I did read the page to which you referred me. It does not say how to
register the product after it has been activated. It seems to me there must
be SOME way to do this. Whom else might I ask?

Is there a number that I can call to find this out? And if possible to
register or change the registration of the product? The "About" box to which
the page you referenced refers me has information about me that I think is
picked up from my computer.

My goal is to ensure that this software can be passed on to my successor as
editor of the newsletter without further expense to the neighborhood
association.

Thank you.
