Depending on the price you are willing to pay for hassle and the strength of
your conviction with regard to the principle of the thing, you might
consider just going to Sam's Club and dropping the $19 you should have
dropped in the first place and getting the CD and being done with this
online license mickey mouse.

As I said already: I HAVE TRIED ALL THESE SUGGESTIONS INCLUDING ALL
SUGGESTIONS IN THE REFERENCED KB (short of contacting MS as they want money
to get support!).

When I first purchase Money 2006 it downloaded and installed fine and
downloaded the updates and worked for months with no problems -- until I had
to rebuild my system and re-install. I have sinced un-installed, cleaned up,
re-installed multiple times and EACH time it installs fine, starts
downloading the updates on first install and is fine UNTIL THE UPDATES
COMPLETE, exit Money, shutdown and re-boot, log back into Money and it again
says Trial version. VERY FRUSTRATING.

I still suspect the problem lies with the fact that my purchase status on
the billing site indicates that my Money 2006 "service" was "Cancled" 30
days after the initial "29$ one time fee" purchase. Of course the only way I
can prove it at this point would be to a buy another copy and try
re-installing it after the billing site "cancels" my service or b get
someone to change the cancled status of my Money 2006 purchase to see if my
Trial status goes away.

I have the exact same problem and have tried ALL the suggestions I have
found in this newsgroup, help files, KB articles, etc with NO luck. I did
find, somewhere, in my MSN account info, a list of products/services I have
bought and the line item for Money 2006 had a status of "Closed" (or
something to that effect) with a date on it that was 30 or 60 days after the
purchase date: I beleive this is the reason the product won't authenticate
(looking for an active status or something).

The worst part is there seems to be no way to get MS support without paying
for it! There is free support for payed product but the product code you
need you cant get because the product won't validate itself! So I keep
checking this newsgroup every day hoping for a new solution to pop up but so
far no dice.

Try creating a new admin XP user. Create a new Money file as that
user, with that Passport.

You already got my useful idea. If you read more posts you will probably
find it's pretty much everybody else's useful idea as well.

I have my file assigned to the passport I used to buy the copy and I've done
the internet update, in fact, I have all my old account info. That doesn't
register the program. You should be able to re-register a program you
download unless explicitly stated upfront at purchase time that you will not
be able to again after downloading the product, which I did not see. Anyone
have any useful ideas?

Open the sample file. Assign it the Passport you used to buy the copy. Do an
Internet Update. Open your own data file. Next time buy the CD.

I paid for a copy of Money 2006 Premium. I reinstalled my machine recently
and found a link to download the trial version of MS Money, which I did,
thinking there was a way to reactivate my product, but if there is, I can't
find it. How do I get my paid for version back? I still have my receipt and
can log into the billing support site. Thanks.
