Re: Updating Evaluation Version of PB 5.0 to the Real Deal

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You might be able to do that, but I don't think so. Just uninstall the eval
and install the full version. If you try to do the other and something goes
wrong, you'll waste a lot more than the install time for the full version.

The support phone number is in the Help menu of PB, but, if your evaluation
timed out, I guess you can't get there. 1-800-936-5800. However, those are
call-back support incidents, so you're going to be waiting 24 hours for an
answer, anyway, plus you'll have wasted one of the two free support
incidents you get with PB.
