PowerPivot for Excel 2010 November CTP Expired

  • Artikel

If you are running the November 2009 CTP version of the PowerPivot for Excel 2010 add-in, your add-in expired on April 1st. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

The SQL Server team will re-release the November 2009 CTP version of the PowerPivot for Excel 2010 add-in with an extended expiration date very soon. We will post an availability announcement with the download location and installation instructions on the PowerPivot blogs and forums as soon as possible.

    I add my vote for releasing the fix for the cause for corruption. It is very tiresome having to repeat work you did because of corruption

    You are really killing me here. The demo was a complete disaster due to PowerPivot expiring.What a nice surprise. I tried the trick people are talking about with rolling the system time clock back but then I received an error with Excel 2010 that the product registration failed which locked it up.Work with us here product team! Why on earth would you expire on us right when we are prepping for the launch!?

    Can you at least set a target date for the release? Like many of us, I built real-life business reporting that I DEPEND ON EVERYDAY. If you cannot get it going in a week, I have to look for another solution!!!!

    What a disappointment.  I can't imagine what kind of environment this is being developed in if an expiration date issue can't be resolved within 5 days.

    Wow, I guess the strong comments are actually a good thing for a CTP.  Is this actually a scheme to drum up the hype? :)But yes, please fix it soon.  We are an ISV and some significant strategic decision is tied to the completion of a PowerPivot PoC.I can roll the date back but that would expire my SQLServer R2 Management Studio, oh well.

    This expiration is a complete disaster that really pulled the rug out from under us. I can't imagine why on earth the beta would expire before another version is in place.Can you at least send out a fix that we can run to remove this expiring functionality until you either release the next version or RTM?!?

    In response to http://twitter.com/powerpivot I de-installed, DL-ed and re-installed a fresh 64-bit build (or so I thought, but Digital Signature still says Nov. 1st 2009), but I still get expiration msg. Do we also have to remove a registry key or something?

    Oh, joy, finally I managed to get a working copy! Apparently it took a while for the updated builds to propagate to the download server(s).
