2007 Outlook - no Business Contact Manager

[Magm5]

Hi!
I work for a non-profit and we purchased our Office 2007 through TechSoup
( a website that offers donated or discounted software for 501c3's) The
problem is that we get Office Communicator - not Business Contact Manager
through TechSoup - i found this on their website. I s there any way to add
Business contact manager to my existing Outlook 2007? It would make my life
sooo much easier.

Thank you! Any help is appreciated!

If you have the communicator, I think you will be using the office
enterprise version. BCM is not shipped with this version, but you do get a
license for BCM with this version. So it is legitimate to use BCM.
How to get BCM? Download a trail version from the microsoft site, your
office kety will make it a normal version.

That wont work (the Trial conversion)

2 Volume License customers who purchase Office Professional Plus 2007 or
Office Enterprise 2007 may download Office Outlook 2007 with Business
Contact Manager by visiting the volume licensing services Web site or may
request the assistance of their reseller.

Tried it?

No need, an enterprise key will not work with a trial

I can't find any information at the faq page you linked to...we also have a
volume license and would like the BCM software as well.

Hi Everyone -
I went to the Microsoft Volume Licensing link that was provided above. I
finally just had to contact MVLS help and ask - here are the steps:

.. Sign into the Microsoft eOpen website at https://eopen.microsoft.com using
your Windows Live ID.
2. Once you have entered your profile information, click on ?Add Agreement.?
This option is located on the left side of the screen.
3. Enter your Authorization number and License number and click ?Add to
View.? Repeat this step to add additional Authorization and License numbers.
4. Once you click on "Add to View", you will be redirected to the "Agreement
Summary" page where you will see your License number(s) displayed as a
hyperlink.
5. Click on the License number to access the "License Acceptance" page. In
the box in the middle of the page, scroll to the very bottom, enter in your
full name, and click "I Accept.? If you have already accepted the "Terms and
Conditions," you will be redirected to the "License Detail" page.
6. Once on the "License Details" page, click on ?Product Downloads? on the
left side of the page. (Please note that the website will prompt you to sign
in again for security reasons.) 7. This will take you to the ?Downloads? page
where your Product Downloads will be displayed 8. Expand your Office Product
Download list by clicking on the (+). Your list should be displaying 15 of
15. Once you have expanded your Download list, select the download for
"Office Professional Plus 2007 with BCM.

This will only work if you have an available download for your purchased
Microsoft Office 2007.

Thank you for all your help in pointing me in the right direction!
