Je réponds à tout le monde, compte tenu du nombre de gens qui m' ont
demandé une clé si j' arrivais à m' en procurer une.
Sun ne donne pas d'autre réponse que celle que je joins à ce courrier.Il
estaussi indiqué que la version actuelle download ne nécessite pas de
clé (mais fait 70 Mo).
Il est, parait-il, envisagé de publier les sources, certainement dans le
but de comforter la chaleureuse affection qui lie Sun à Microsoft.

Dear StarOffice User,

We have experienced heavy downloads as a result of our new Star Office 
offering.  As a result, some Star Office customers have chosen to 
download the old Star Office binaries from various hosts on the web. 
Sun wants to discouragethese downloads for the following reasons:

1) The newer version has bug fixes and improved features, and we want 
our customers to have the best possible experience with Star Office.

2) The newer version does not require registration to operate. Sun is 
not operating the mechanisms for registration as they are not required 
for the Sun version of Star Office. As a result, customers who spend 
the time to download the old version will find that they cannot run 
the software they have acquired.

We are taking several steps to make the download times for the new 
version faster. Within the next week, we will offer downloads from 
Europe as well as the US. We will also offer a resumable download 
feature to reduce the risk of interrupted downloads. We have already 
fixed several problems with performance that made downloads slower 
previously. And, of course, users  who want to purchase the Star 
Office binaries on CD-ROM can do so for only $9.95 US plus shipping 
and handling. 
        
However, Sun wants to make sure that all our new and old customers 
have the best possible experience with Star Office software. We will 
now release a key for general use of the old product with the 
following conditions:

1) Users commit to registering on the Sun website, 
www.sun.com/staroffice.

2) Users understand that any fixes, patches, or service packs will be 
provided for the Sun release only. All Star Division subscriptions and 
support contracts will be honored, and the new CD is on the way now to 
these customers now, enabling them to continue to get high quality 
support into the future. 
        
You must enter the following string:

        Sun Free Download Version

as the company name on the registration page exactly as spelled here 
with all capitalization correct 

Then for the key, enter

        680A-0JH7-M60MVR-CQPD-147K

exactly as written.
        
These steps will enable you to run the older version of Star Office 
until you get the opportunity to upgrade to the current release.
        
Thanks and kind regards

Matthias Panczyk
Manager StarOffice Competence Center
