I need to reinstall Access 2007 trial version again on the same PC

[E. Stephens]

Hello I am a student online and re-taking a class for Database Management
that I failed last term. I`ve had this same version on this PC before. It is
the Microsoft Office Professional 2007 180-day trial version (Access 2007
Program), and I have to uninstall the old trial version because it expired
and reinstall a new trial version that came with the school book. Can anyone
tell me how to do this?

I believe you are somewhat screwed. I think the only way you will be able to
install another trial version is to reformat your hard drive, reinstall
Windows and then install all of your programs again.

Microsoft is not in the business of letting anyone install a trial multiple
times as it would defeat the purpose of the expiration anyway, if you could
install it again. So, I think you are either going to need to actually
PURCHASE the program (which with an Academic version it is very reasonable),
or you'll have to do as I said above (which I don't actually condone either).

I don't endorse getting around the trial limitations, but I've been in the
same boat while taking classes.. I'm hope this is not over the top..

Think about what would happen if you were to create a second bootable
partition on your system and only install the minimum you need to get it
running.
