D5 Pro Trail

Hi,
My colleague and I have just downloaded D5XP Pro to trail it. We had
problems finding out way to the trial page but eventually found it on D4
downloads. It specifically mentioned 'Dolphin Smalltalk 5.0' on the
trial page so we assumed it would work.
The key was sent to us and we tried to unlock the application, but it
said "Sorry, but this serial number is not valid for Dolphin Smalltalk
Profession 5.0" - "Please try again".
We were a bit disappointed and thought that we might have gotten the
machine Id wrong. So we tried again but got the same key once more.

Is there a trick to running D5XP Pro trials?

We are not currently trialling Dolphin 5.0. The only trial that you can get
hold of is the original one for Dolphin 4 and I apologize that the trial
registration page on the website doesn't make this clearer. I will get this
fixed today, if possible. If you still want to try out D4 then you should
take the appropriate download from the D4 library and use the trial serial
numbers you have been allocated already.

It is likely that we'll produce a Dolphin XP 5.0 trial at some point in the
future but at this stage we're not sure exactly when. It'll probably be 2-3
months away, I would imagine.

Once again, sorry for the confusion.
