You have read about the latest version of Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 and now you can give it a try!
Many of you have asked in the past for a trial download. We heard your request and have made the trial download available (even before the full boxed product has made it to the stores!).
I am amazed and how fast the news has traveled around. Already, 100′s of folks have downloaded S&T 2009 and are asking questions.
Here is a quick FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the Trial Edition and the final edition? Have any features been withheld?
A: Other than the 60-day trial limit, there is no difference between the trial and the final version. It is a fully functioning version of the product.
Q: When does my trial begin?
A: You will begin your trial on your first launch of the application. You will have 60-days to try it out (regardless of how many times you use the application).
Q: I have a previous version of Streets & Trips installed – do I need to uninstall it first?
A: No, both versions can be installed at the same time. Be sure to check the "Keep Previous Version" checkbox while installing.
Q: How do I convert my trail to a full edition without the 60-day limit?
A: Purchase the product from your favorite retailer and choose "Activate now" and follow the instructions to enter the Product key that came with your purchased product. Note: there is no need to uninstall the trial edition and re-install from the purchased edition.
Q: Can I just buy a Product key online?
A: Currently, this option is not yet available.
Q: Where can I download it?
A: Streets & Trips 2009 Trial Edition can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center:

Construction updates fail to load from within the program for the 2009 Trial Edition.
Manual installation from the Microsoft Download website to the folder specified in
instructions also does not result in construction information in the directions for
routes.
As of yesterday, when I tried, Construction Updates are working in S&T 2009 Trial.
Have been unable to install ST 2009. The error message is One of the prerequisite components failed to install. Setup will now exit. I am running xp pro sp3.
