ActiveSync evaluation period?

run_GMoney · 02-20-03, 10:18 AM

Maybe I just missed this somewhere but I never got the impression that the ActiveSync that comes with the CD was an evaluation/trial version. So I've got to purchase it? That's a bit annoying.

If you want you can download a free copy from www.download.com

Activesync is downloadable directly off the microsoft web site. Though it is licensed it is freely distributed, so you don't need to worry about forking out any more for it.

Hope this puts your mind at rest

ActiveSync, as stated here, is not an evaluation version. However, most of the other software (with notable exceptions of Resco Picture Viewer, IA Presenter, and Microsoft Reader) are evaluations copies, and would need to be purchased.

It's just odd that I'm receiving a message saying "Evaluation period has expired" if it wasn't an evaluation copy. But thanks for the help, I'll look into downloading it somewhere.

What version are you running? I'd try uninstallign it and NOT deleting your user settings and then installing it again with version 3.6 from the net. Where exactly is this message located?

I'm actually what you might consider a 'moron.' I just realized that SyncExpress was what expired. So lets go ahead and reiterate that I am a MORON. Thanks :hide: :hide: :hide:
