Hello,
As a great user in France of all the Open Office products, I am experiencing problems with the update, and am currently using the 4.1.0 edition. Every time I click to open or create a document, I'm invited to update to 4.1.1. When I try to do so and am connected to an official page, I'm invited to spend 4.5 euros for a first activiation code, then another 4.5 euros for a second one. The numbers to which I had to send a texto and the codes received were 1) 83020 for code MQYQYJ and 2) 81221 for code MUARQJ. Both of these numbers also invited me to pay for a game (I did not). The telephone number provided for "assistance" on the first code is 0821610753 (France). The email provided for "assistance" with the second code was c...@smsinf.net. If this is open source and free, why does the Open Office icon connect me to Source Forge which appears to be an official OPen Office page, requiring payment of a total of 9 euros ? Is Apache aware of the problem? I should be automatically connected to an official page, not to Source Forge, unless it's also an official Apache site. I will add that after all these manipulations - and COSTS-, I still am at the 4.1.0 edition whereas I followed the procedure a third time and was "told" that the update had been downloaded successfully. What is happening with Open Office and why did I have to spend money for 2 useless activation codes ? Thanks for a quick answer. In addition, I'm willing to help improve Open Office products - but at no cost ! Rosemarie Brisciana
