SYMPTOMS
The installation program for Visio Network Equipment (VNE) version 99.3 may not accept the serial number provided on the registration card. When you try to use the 12-digit serial number provided, the installation program prompts you for a 17-18 digit number.
NOTE: If you already have Visio 2000 Enterprise Edition or an earlier version of VNE installed, the installation program should not prompt you for a serial number; therefore, you should not encounter this issue.
RESOLUTION
A small number of registration cards were manufactured with an incorrect serial number. The incorrect serial number has 6 digits followed by a hyphen and 6 more digits.
To resolve this issue, use the table below to generate the correct serial number:
Type of product | Incorrect serial number format | Correct serial number format * |
---|---|---|
Retail | xxxxxx-yyyyyy | 120-898-993-yyyyyy |
Not for resale | xxxxxx-yyyyyy | 123-325-993-yyyyyy |
Prema | xxxxxx-yyyyyy | 123-349-993-yyyyyy |
- yyyyyy = the last 6 digits provided on the registration card. If the installation program still does not accept the serial number, please contact Microsoft Product Support Services.
