I am trying to backup my pst folders easily, since they are so large, because
I want to transfer to my new computer. I think backup to a cd should suffice,
but I need the tool due to the size.

I have a brand new genuin version of Office 2007 and a genuine version of XP
pro SP2 on my current system.

When I try to download the backup tool, it tells me my validation is denied.
I know both Office and XP have been registered, and I think I get all
updates. If I ever have to go to winbdows to get an update, it always
verifired me before without problem.

I can see this one will be an all nighter n the office.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
BG

Is this by chance a new computer? I ask because I encountered a similar
problem earlier today after installing Office 2007 Professional on my wife's
new notebook. In my case, unbeknownst to me (it wasn't in the specs for the
computer), it already had the trial version of Office 2007 Home & Student.
So, when I tried to validate to download the XPS/PDF download, validation
failed. There's a link you can click when it fails, however, that's supposed
to tell you exactly why it failed. In my case, it indicated the presence of
Home & Student and no valid key for it. After removing Home & Student,
validation worked fine.

So... if there are any unactivated relevent Office products, validation will
fail.

Herb,

No, this is an old computer. The pst files however are over 1.5G and I will
have a difficult time moving them. Need to burn to DVD, since this tool wont
download. But I am also concerned about the future problems I may run into. I
will re-install office 2007 on the new computer and hope there are no issues.

Do you have the details for why it failed? It should state the exact issue
its encountering.

This helped me out. I had the exact same issues. I did not realize I needed
to uninstall the trial edition of Home & Student. I had just installed Office
Professional

After uninstalling the Student version I could correctly pass the
Validation and download the PDF file tool and the Non Commercial Use stuff on
the top of the Office Professional software also went away.

A note for future readers of the post the removing of Home & Student does
not trash the regular Office software. I was a bit worried the removal might
result in the need to reinstall the full Version of Office. But removing
Home & Student did not mess up the normal Office which was installed.
