You 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....

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, such as not having a
Passport on your machine because you do not want to access your data
via a Microsoft web server, 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 recently received the new Taxcut 2005 CD in the mail and installed it.
The confirmation email included an offer for a $29.95 rebate for MS Money
2006 Standard (which made it free). Using the link to the Microsfot Money
Special offers page, I clicked on the "download" button and was taken to the
page to sign-in to Passport. I then had to register with MSN to set up an
account. After activating my purchase, the next page stated that I had
successfully purchased Microsoft Money 2006 and would receive an email with
rebate instructions and a download link.
I received a confirmation email stating that I had purchased MS Money
Standard 2006 for $29.95. However, I did not receive any email about the
actual download or the rebate process.
What should have happened? Has anyone anything to share about
downloading the Money software online? I ordered the program 2 days ago and
still no email.
