What is “reduced functionality mode” in Office XP and Visio 2002?
Application products will go into reduced functionality mode if the user does not activate before the end of the grace period, which is the 50th launch for Office XP and its component applications and 10th launch for Visio 2002. In this mode, users will not be able to save changes to documents or create new documents, and additional functionality may be reduced. Existing files are not altered and can be edited or saved with an activated installation of Office XP or Visio 2002. Users may regain full functionality of the product at any time by activating.
