Hiya Matt,

What's the catch? Is this free? Is there ads that will popup?

Sounds like something that I should try.

UPDATE: I just found someplace that said that it was free, still nothing about ads.

UPDATE again: only for US businesses, DOH!!!

Heeter

**madmatt** · October 30th, 2006

I used Office Accounting 2007 during the two month Connect/beta trial and it was a huge improvement over SBA 2006. I haven't installed the Express version yet, but I highly doubt Microsoft would integrate ads.

I will keep you posted after I install it.

I received this email...

Seems like a sweet program

**madmatt** · October 31st, 2006

Helder, there are no ads. However, there is product activation.

I also came across this...

Customers can also upgrade Office Accounting Express 2007 to a a 120-day free trial of Office Accounting Professional 2007. Once the free trial ends, the customer can choose to pay for a full license or revert to Office Accounting Express 2007.

Furthermore, it asks you after company setup if you would like to upgrade to the full version ("Professional").

**Heeter** · October 31st, 2006

Right on, Thanks, Matt.

I will install mine then.

Need something like this for my small business. Says for US businesses only, but I think I can make do with that part, converting to Canadian.

**madmatt** · October 31st, 2006

Professional has conversions built-in so you might have to end up purchasing it if you like what you see.

**rushm001** · October 31st, 2006

And now they're taking on Sage, is there anay market left which Microsoft doesn't want to get into?

**madmatt** · November 6th, 2006

Request a trial key to upgrade to Professional (120 day trial key).

http://sba.microsoft.com/AccountingP..._TrialKey.html

**Heeter** · November 7th, 2006

AWESOME!!!

Thanks Matt,

Can't wait to try out the full version, with the conversions,

Helder

**Heeter** · November 7th, 2006

Hey, Matt,

I am read that the full version needs SQL Server, can you verify that?

I do run MySQL for my servers, which would be no good in this case, I guess. I don't to enter the key then this proggie takes a nose dive and I lose my data.

Heeter

**madmatt** · November 7th, 2006

No, SQL Express will be fine. I ran the beta and the full version on SQL Express.

**kcnychief** · January 16th, 2007

I'm going to get started with this next week. Almost as most excited for the eBay component as everything else

What do you guys think so far? I think the Express will be sufficient for me. Looked over the differences and there aren't many, if any at all, I would actually use.

**madmatt** · January 16th, 2007

I am using Professional. It is a good first attempt for Microsoft but it needs work to be as easy as Quick Books.

**kcnychief** · January 16th, 2007

I have no experience with QuickBooks, have been uising QuickInvoice for near a year now, and am starting to run into some limitations.
