Groove 2007 | Lesson Two | How Do I Get Microsoft Office Groove 2007?

If you just took another look at your list of Microsoft Office applications from your Office 2007 Suite and don't see Groove 2007 collaboration software... don't be too surprised.  If you go to the Office 2007 comparison chart you can see that the only Office Suite that does include Groove 2007 by default is the Ultimate edition.  You can work with the Volume Licensing folks for an Enterprise Office version that allows you to manage your Groove licenses as part of the suite. 

But what if you don't have an Ultimate Edition and don't have volume licensing ability?  Well don't

let that stop you from getting started with Groove.[See Image 1]

Microsoft offers a free download with a 60-day trial. During this 60 days you can run the product normally and after that time the product will run with a reduced functionality set.  With this limited functionality you won't be able to create new workspaces or invite others into your workspace, but it will still function.  If you decide you want to purchase it, you can purchase Groove and a 12 month subscription to the servers and services (which are online) for, at the time of this writing, $79.

To learn more about Groove 2007, how to purchase Groove, features of Groove and so forth.  Check out the Groove Homepage.  [See Image 2]
