Hi AdrianHam,
You do not need to uninstall the trial version. All you need to do is enter the registration key you were given at the time of purchase and it will unlock the version you already have installed. If you need to retrieve your product key or need help with
regisatration, please see the information below.
Thanks,
Chris
How can I get my product key once I have purchased AutoCollage?
Some AutoCollage customers may need to install the application on a newly purchased machine, taking advantage of
the license for 5 machines, or to reinstall the application after upgrading to Windows 7. On these occasions the product key is needed to register the new installation, as per the instructions in the product help, also available online.
Customers that misplaced their key may easily retrieve it following these steps:
a.
Connect to your local Microsoft Store website in the
USA,
UK (for countries in the European Union),
Australia,
France,
Germany or
Canada.
b.
Sign into the store with the same ID you used when purchasing AutoCollage.
c.
Near the top of the page there are a few rows of links. Click on the "Account" link.
d.
You will see a page entitled "Microsoft Store Account - Purchase History." The date and time of your order of AutoCollage should be listed. In the right side of this entry, under
"Items:", you should see Microsoft Research AutoCollage 2008, along with a line which says "License:" and shows your product key.
Remember that the trial version of Microsoft Research AutoCollage 2008 can be converted into the full version just
by registering it, without the need of a new installation.
How can I register AutoCollage once I have my key?
When you purchase AutoCollage, you receive an AutoCollage product key you can use to register your copy of AutoCollage.
