trial period expired but should not have

[jeff]

I got a Project pro trial with a book for my project management class. It was
a brand new book and I would assume brand new copy of Project Pro 2003, I put
it on my computer at the very most two weeks ago and it is supposed to have a
120 day trial. I tried to open it today and it says that the trial period
has expired... I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but no luck (probably a
protection against just reinstalling trial software over and over again to
get it for free) any ideas on what I can do... I need this for the class so I
don't know what I am supposed to do right now

Hi Jeff,

See:

It refers to Project 2002 but it may apply to 2003 as well.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

couldn't get that to work... I had also tried after that to delete all of the
project entries in the registry that I could find but still no dice... So I
decided to suck it up and work for it and get a regular copy (and by work I
mean I called home and begged my parents for some money, hey I'm a poor
college student

Hi Jeff,

I believe you might qualify for an academic licence - worth a try.
