What's New and Upcoming
Software Licenses Not Working?
If the licenses for your evaluation software are not working, that's probably because you are still using the old 2005 software licenses. By downloading the new 2006 licenses from the Subscriber Portal, you'll get immediate access to the evaluation software you use and enjoy. You will also find standard licenses on CD 1A, which shipped in the November 2005 release.
