You can download and install the Money 2006 trial version. When
Money uses a file with the same Passport that you used when you
bought Money, it will download the appropriate things and adjust
the version that you see in Help-> About. If your Help-> About says
you are using the trial version.....

See http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;889930
and follow it if you want your Money file to use the same Passport
on your Money file that you used when you bought Money.

If you want something other than to do that, do something slightly
different. Create a NEW empty file (named perhaps Temp.mny) that
you put the referenced Passport onto. Let Money download data that
it needs. Close Money. Restart Money.

Confirm that Money shows the right version. Then click on your
real Money file that is shown on the bottom of the File menu.

I downloaded the Money2006 Premium Edition, but have run into some
downloading issues with the budget and planning functions.

I'm trying to use on-line help and have put in the Serial Number as the PID
for access; however, I get an error that the Serial Number is not valid.

Any idea on how I can get the budget / planning functions working with a
download or how I can get the Serial Number to work as the PID?
Thanks,
Dave
