Serial number

[Rainald Taesler]

Tonight I paid and downloaded the Educational version.

When I try to install, I'm prompted for a serial number.
Where might get that from?

Rainald,

Long time no see! Nice to see you around again. To answer your question,
you would do best to contact customer support directly. They may not see
your question here.

Yes I have not been active in the dBASE-cosmos for a looooong time. And
I have been hardly doing anything with dBASE (except using my old
compiled dBDOS 5.0 apps and some VdB 5 stuff).
But at present I'm preparing a project for my students and so I ordered
the latest version.

Thanks for the pointer.
I meanwhile received an automated e-mail telling me "if the purchase is
made for instructional purposes", they would need "a signed letter
stating this fact on the educational institution's letterhead" and I
would be sent a serial number after having provided the proof for my
usage for "instructional purposes".

I'm wondering if anybody from the staff at dBI might still remember me
as a professor (and the speaker of the German dBASE User Group) and if
it might not be sufficient to send a link to my personal page on the
university's website.
This might speed up things as the dean is out of the country in the
moment.

Hoping you are well
kindest regards
Rainald

Rainald,

Sometimes rules are rules (and someone in your field of study probably
knows that better than I :-D ). Check with them first, but I'd bet you
could scan something on letterhead and e-mail it.

Rainald,

I just came across this thread.

I remember you!

I just checked with customer service and they are now releasing the serial
number to you.

Thank you!

Thanks a million Marty!
Great to have some old frinds ;-)
I received a mail with the number and I'll install the new version
immediately after having checked it there are issues needing attention
with Vista Business.

Thanks again and kindest regards
Rainald

I'm getting older. No way to get around that.

As to the spirit: I'd that there will not be that much fighting
nowadays.

Thanks again
