 Ability Office Version 4 - Frequently Asked Questions: KB 037

Category: Product Keys & Registration
Question: What do I do when my OEM version has expired?

Your OEM version is basically a longer trial period which lasts 180 days from day of installation. The day after installation you are requested to register this OEM version. It is important to complete all fields so that we can contact you correctly. During this registration process you will be requested to enter the Reseller Referral Code which is a number from back of OEM disk jacket. As long as you have that code, you can register other people with the OEM product free of charge and you can even pass the disk around.

To activate the code, you will need to start a program called ABReset and you will be reminded of that in an email you receive immediately following the registration.

Once you have activated with your product code, Ability will continue to work for the remaining days in the 180 day period. When you start up a module, you may be asked to Continue or Activate. Click on Continue.

When your OEM period expires, click on Activate, provided you have done so initially to get the registration code, and you will be directed to the purchase page. When you buy the suite that fits you best, you will receive a permanent product code. If at any time prior to the expiration of your OEM code you want to purchase a Ability Office Suite, just click here

If, after the registration and activating the product code, you still have problems running Ability, you can help us investigating the problem by running trialfix.exe (20KB) and follow the on-screen instructions for emailing the results back to us. Most likely, simply running the program will fix the problem.
