I obtained a copy of MS Frontpage from my passing
Grandmother. How do I know which version it is? How can
I determine if it has been registered? Please reply.
 
It should say the version on the CD label

It just says Frontpage2000 but I am not sure if it the
full verdion or not. How do I know if the product has
been registered?
 
You don't.

Try installing it.

First, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Grandmothers are very special women.

Where did your grandmother get her copy? Chances are it was installed on
somebody's computer already. You'll need to find our how she acquired her
copy. As for how to find out if it's a full version or an upgrade, I don't
know if it's listed anywhere on the disk. The easiest way to tell would be
to try to install it.
 
I have a 2003 upgrade. It says "upgrade" on the CD itself. It also says "this program will search your system to confirm your eligibility for this special upgrade edition". I'm not sure if it's different on other versions.
 
Nope - an upgrade is an upgrade. You either need to have a qualifying
version installed on your computer or have the disk handy when you install
the upgrade.

It amazes me that more poeple don't just try. I can see if the OS doesn't
measure up but other than that - Just do it.

I have MS's Digital Image Suite. It *says* it requires a 700MHz, blah, blah,
blah. I have a 550 but I meet/exceed the other specs. It runs just fine.
:-) Worst case scenario - I would have had to uninstall it. Not a big deal.

:-)....I'm a firm believer in RTB...then throw it out the winder...dig in and blow up the machine. I used to have to reformat my HD every 3 months :-(...btw, I'm still running a 550 too, and I will until it implodes. Yah whats the worst that could happen if you screw up a FP local web?,,, wha?? you'd have to delete it? :-)....I do that everyday.

And I'm not being critical of the original poster....just a generalized observation of human behavior.

Remind me someday to tell you the story of my mother's experience with "Illegal Operation" warning on her puter....I'm still laughing from it so I can't tell ya now.

Write it down sometime and send it to me - I can always use a laugh. In
exchange I'll tell you about one of our first customer's experience at my
former employer.

The CD itself will say Upgrade if it is an upgrade version

won't work"

After you have installed the program, go to the top bar, click on Help,
scroll down to "About Microsoft FrontPage". That will tell you what version
you have.
