billtheia Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've been asking for an evaluation copy of VW2009 since October and still haven't been able to get one. Every time I call I'm told that they're waiting on copies and that they're expecting them in 2-4 weeks. And, I know that I can buy VW with a "satisfaction guarantee" but I'd prefer to "try before I buy." Quote Link to comment

billtheia Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Anyone in the US? Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Am I really the only guy in the US who has asked for an evaluation copy of VW2009? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Bill, They are having problems with the DVDs. The users group leaders (who get version using the same DVDs) are still waiting for their copies also. Very annoying, but it must be something serious or they would have gotten it fixed by now.

billtheia Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm confused. I thought that purchase & evaluation DVDs were the same. Isn't it all controlled by serial number? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 There are at least three different versions of the install DVD. The A Series is the one for unlimited serial number protection. The B Series are for dongle protected serial numbers. Finally, the E Series is for time limited (such as evaluation (30 day) and Not For Resale (users groups)) applications. As far as I know only the E series have not been available. The VW content on each series is the same, it is just the copy protection that varies. Pat Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Oh. I stand corrected. Still a bummer, though. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Yeah, a real bummer. Especially for NNA. Pat Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Good point. Quote Link to comment
M.CH Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I believe they are now available, as E series is now shipping Quote Link to comment
