Procedure for updating from .Mac trial to purchased MobileMe

Doctor Q · Jul 12, 2008, 12:18 AM

What are the steps to going from a 30-day trial in progress to a paid account?

My .Mac trial has a few weeks left. Meanwhile, I paid for MobileMe membership and Apple sent me an activation code.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but now what?

If I log into my trial account, under Account Summary it says I can enter a credit card, but I don't need to pay again. Under Account Options -> Upgrades, it says I can "Skip Trial" but I don't know what that means.

If I go to www.me.com/activate, the choices are

Create a new account with a new member name
Reactivate an expired account
Renew an existing account

but there is no choice for "Activate/upgrade trial account".

The .Mac to MobileMe transition FAQ doesn't address this. I don't see the answer in MobileMe Support either.

What's the secret?

I would imagine you would want to 'renew an existing account'

"renew an existing account" seems the most likely option.

Your predictions were correct.

Thanks.
