Title: One week more trial needed
Post by: jolugaju on July 24, 2008, 05:22:09 am

When I first installed the program I didnt test it.
Now I want to test it but the free period ended.
So I need a few days more to test it.
One week is enough or even 2 days.
Is there anything I can do about it?
I could reinstall Windows, but that's not a good solution.

Thanks

Jose Luis

It is not possible to extend the trial period.

You could try the free Media Jukebox 12. It is based on Media Center 12, but keep in mind that it has only a subset of MC12 features and can handle only audio files.

For evaluating the MC12 features you could try it on another PC. If a physical PC is not available you might be able to install Microsoft's free Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx). It would be sluggish and provide only emulated and restricted HW (like a very basic sound card and display adapter), but you could use it for getting an idea about the features that are not available in MJ12.

In general, I think a couple of days would not be enough for understanding the capabilities of Media Center 12.

I already use the Jukebox and I love it. It's really wonderful.
I think MC will be also great but I want to test it before bying it.
May be I will install a Virtual OS. It takes much more time but it's a good solution.
Thank you very much!
