The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money, version 5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SUMMARY
=======
 
The default location for an installation of the Microsoft Money 5.0 Trial
version is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money Trial. Do not install the
trial version in the location of a previous version of Money. This will
overwrite your previous version and you will be unable to return to it
after the trial period. Additionally, it is important that you make a
backup of your previous file when converting it to Money 5.0. Once the
file is converted, it cannot be opened in a previous version.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The Trial version of Money 5.0 has a 90 day limit; after that date you
need to purchase a retail version of Money. Only a retail version of
Money 5.0 is able to open the data file created and used in the Trial
version. The Trial version does not allow you to export your data into
another version.
 
When you convert a previous Money data file to use in the Trial Edition,
you have the option to make a backup copy of your current version. The
default name of the backup copy is <Filename>.mnX, where X is the version
number of your previous Money installation. If you decide to return to a
previous version of Money, you can open this copy and re-enter the data
since the conversion.
