It does not require a dedicated server as it is a light-weight application. Sorry to keep bothering you. I couldn't find a stand-alone trial version of BCM. The only download from MS appears to be as part of MS Office Professional. I already have Office Standard installed on Win 7 VMs on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. It's not obvious to me how I add the BCM without installing all of Office Professional. Is there a stand-alone DL of BCM available? If I install BCM trial, when it expires, will I need to reactivate my Office Standard or the Outlook client within it? Is there another way of demonstrating for myself how BCM might be usable for my purposes? Thanks again, Jim Robertson A standalone SKU means you need to buy the product. $149/license. It was created specifically to address this concern. This product is not included with Office 2007 Standard. If you purchased the Office 2007 product within the last 90 days, something could be done about that with volume licensing but that's off-topic and unlikely. There is actually no such thing as BCM trial and it won't stop working unlike other Office products (in fact, that's how we install it on volume license deployments where BCM is excluded from the download package but legal to use), but you can't legally use it with Office 2007 Standard. The only way you could legally try it would be to uninstall your licensed version of Office 2007 Standard and install trial of Office 2007 Professional, install BCM on top of that. You might as well install Office 2010 Professional Plus beta while you are at it and enjoy the improvements. There is an upgrade SKU for Office 2007 Small Business, but it will actually buy you Office 2010 Professional as of today.

Custom Fields in Outlook (was Additional Phone Number Fields)
I guess you haven't been on the same playground as the geniuses at CMS who
are implementing the "stimulus" portions of the "HiTech Act." They're stumbling all over themselves trying to write so many regulations and penalties that it's going to be a nightmare. A friend is a dev for one of the top companies. It's no fun for them either. They need their software ready to go when the regs are finished. In any event, I'll look at BCM. Just so I understand, however: if I struggled with InfoPath (or if someone who knew what he was doing used it as a development tool), the result would require a SQL server, not just SharePoint. Is that correct? SQL Express will do. |
