If you have the data backed up, you should be able to install 2006 to a clean system (one that never had ACT! Installed on it) and then import the data, assuming that v. 2008 didn't convert the data to a new format (table structures, attributes, etc.).
Disclaimer: I don't have any experience with ACT!, but this is what I would try. Also, the few times I've needed to call MS's support, it was very good. In one instance, we discovered a bug and they refunded the $245 fee to us. Considering how Sage has left you holding the bag, I would consider another product, if possible. > -----Original Message----- > We use the premium for work groups (5+ people) and 2008 has some nice > features, but 2006 works fine and I didn't see enough of a benefit to > warrant a $1500 expense at the moment. > > I did try reinstalling 2008.
