Thanks, but I am already on hotfix 878 due to another bug
I ran into, and I still get the problem described in KB
290817. If I enter my credit card info will thge $99
be reimbursed to me? The reason I care is that it's my
personal credit card info I'll be entering, my company is
not paying for this, that's why I was checking the
newsgroups. I agree it makes more sense to just pay for
it rather than me waste my time trying to get it free,
but I'd rather waste 3 hours of company time vs spending
$99 out of my own pocket.
