iWork ‘08 Trial versus Zeitreisen

Dienstag, 18. September 2007 um 0:25 Uhr

iWork ‘08, das Office-Paket von Apple, kann man 30 Tage kostenlos testen («Trial»). Allerdings sollte man während dem Ausprobieren von iWork ‘08 die Zeitzone nicht wechseln, so jedenfalls die entsprechende englischsprachige Warnung von Mac OS X Hints;)

Yesterday while flying from old Europe to the US, I suddenly found that despite still having two weeks remaining on my trial version of iWork, it claimed the trial period was over. I was quite upset, even more so as I have ordered it through my company, but have not received the final key yet.

It appears that the culpridt is the Date & Time System Preferences panel. I had switched my time zone from Paris to San Francisco time, and that seemed to trigger the expiration.

So if you plan to test iWork and travel, do not change the time zone during the trial period.
