MapPoint 2006 Trial expires after installation??

[S@discussions.microsoft.com Steve S]

I downloaded the trial for MapPoint 2006 (and what a huge trial!) I installed
it on the users computer (who also has a purchased copy of Streets and Trips
05 or 06).

After the installation had complete, I went to run MapPoint, but it told me
that my trial had expired and I either had to Uninstall or Purchase. This is
the first time we've ever tried installing the trial on this computer (or any
computer on our network).

How can I get this trial to work? We are not about to purchase software that
we haven't even tested yet.

Can you install the trial on another computer? I checked if this is a
known problem (I vaguely remember hearing about it already), but only
found this KB entry:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/254436

Is a trial from a previous version of MapPoint maybe still installed
on that machine?

If no in both cases, my suggestion would be to give the phone number /
support page mentioned in the KB article a try.
