Q1: What is Microsoft Product Activation?
A1: Microsoft Product Activation tries to reduce counterfeit software, and to make sure that Microsoft customers receive the software quality that they expect. After you activate the software product, a specific product key is assigned to the computer hardware on which you installed the product. After this product key is assigned, you cannot use the same product key to activate the product on other computers. Product Activation is required to use the product in full feature mode. If you choose not to activate the product, you can use the product only in a reduced trial mode.

A2: Microsoft Product Activation enables you to start and use the product without using the disc.
Q3: What information is collected, processed, or transmitted during the activation process?
A3: When you activate the software product, the product key information is sent to Microsoft together with a hardware hash. The hardware hash is a non-unique number that is generated by using the computer's hardware configuration. The hardware hash does not represent any personal information or information about the product. The hardware hash cannot be used to determine the make or the model of the computer. Additionally, the hardware hash cannot be backward-calculated to determine the raw computer information. In addition to standard computer information, some additional language settings are collected. This information is not used to identify you. The information is used only to confirm that you have a licensed copy of the product, and to aggregate the information for statistical analysis.
Q4: How many times can I activate the product?
A4: There is no limit to the number of times that you can activate the software product on the same computer. For example, you can remove and install or activate the product any number of times. An additional activation is provided so that you can remove and install the product on the same computer or on a different computer. See the Microsoft Software License Terms for more information. The Microsoft Software License Terms are located in the game folder.
Q5: How can I tell whether my software has already been activated?
A5: If the product has not been activated, the multiplayer capabilities in the game are not available.

Note Some games that are only multiplayer games do not let you start the game until you activate it. Q6: Can I install the product on more than one computer?
A6: Please refer to the End-User Agreement (Microsoft Software License Terms) for more information about how many computers you can install the product on. The End-User Agreement is located in the product folder or on the product DVD.

Q7: How do I activate my Microsoft product for Windows?
A7: When you start the product for the first time, you are prompted to click Activate now or to click Activate later. If you click Activate now, you must enter the product key. You can run the product without activating it for as long as you want. If you do not to activate the product, the product will run in the reduced functionality mode.

    • Activate by using the Internet
      The Activation Wizard automatically contacts the Microsoft licensing servers through your Internet connection. When you activate the product by using the Internet, the product key is sent to Microsoft through an encrypted transfer. If you decide to activate the product through the Internet and you are not already connected, the wizard alerts you that there is no connection.

    • Activate by using the telephone
      You can telephone an Activation Center to activate the product. Telephone activation might take longer than activation through the Internet. You should be at the computer when you call. Additionally, you should have your software product key. When you select this option, the Activation Wizard generates an Installation ID. You must have this Installation ID to activate the product by telephone.
      Note Activation Center numbers are not listed in this article because telephone contact numbers vary by license and also by country or region. The Activation Wizard gives you the number to telephone the Activation Center.

If the activation is successful, you receive the following message:

You have successfully activated Microsoft <product title> on this computer.

Microsoft Streets & Trips, known in other countries as Microsoft AutoRoute, is a discontinued[2][3] mapping program developed and distributed by Microsoft. Functionally, the last version is a subset of Microsoft MapPoint targeted at the average consumer to do a variety of map related tasks in the North American region including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, such as route planning.

It was originally developed by NextBase Ltd., which was acquired by Microsoft in 1994. Its primary competitor was DeLorme, particularly its Street Atlas series of mapping software.

Region-based editions[edit]

The European version is marketed as Microsoft AutoRoute and covers all of Europe, including European Russia, as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Cyprus and all of Turkey. AutoRoute is also produced in several European languages besides English.


Early history[edit]

Streets And Trips 2011 Windows 8

Originally released by NextBase Ltd in the 1988,[4] a UK company, under the name 'Autoroute', it was sold for DOS based PCs and later for the Apple Macintosh, Atari ST and Psion PDA. In the early 1990s, it was ported to the Microsoft Windows operating system. The company created a version for the United States called Automap Road Atlas which it sold through its American subsidiary Automap Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. In 1994, the product was sold to Microsoft. Microsoft combined the Encarta World Atlas Mapping Technology with new routing technology derived from Autoroute to create Automap Streets/Streets Plus and Automap Road Atlas products. In Europe, the Autoroute brand was retained.

The initial products were 16-bit with Automap Streets Plus 5.0 (1997 version) being the first 32-bit version. Automap Road Atlas was later rebranded in a future release as Automap Trip Planner. [5] These were produced as two distinct products under the Microsoft Home division and were later rebranded for a few releases as Expedia Streets, Expedia Streets Deluxe and Expedia Trip Planner. [6] During these early versions, core new features were added like updated maps, pushpins, weather, traffic and construction updates. In 2000, they were merged into a single product called Microsoft Expedia Streets & Trips 2000. After Microsoft spun off Expedia, later releases were rebranded as Microsoft Streets & Trips. In 2000, Microsoft also developed Microsoft MapPoint as a business mapping program for geographic analysis, based on this technology. The technology was also used in MSN Maps which later became Bing Maps.

History of releases with Streets & Trips branding[edit]

Streets & Trips 2000 was the first version combining the 2 separate products. [7] Like Expedia Trip Planner, it also included a travel guide [8] with pictures and information on points of interest and tourist spots for a particular address. Streets & Trips 2001 dropped the travel guide but added the ability to run without the CD by copying all the map data to the disk drive.

Streets & Trips 2002 added a Pocket Streets for Windows CE devices. Like every yearly update, Streets & Trips 2002 [9] and 2003 were also database updates with Streets & Trips 2003 adding more than 300,000 miles of streets and highways. [10] Streets & Trips 2004 added drive-time zones, a feature to see on a map how far you could travel within a specified amount of time. [11] Streets & Trips 2005 significantly improved the GPS features with an on-screen compass and support for USB plug and play GPS receivers. [12]

The GPS version of Streets & Trips 2006 introduced voice-prompted directions, a hands-free option with turn-by-turn directional information/ [13] All versions starting with 2006 and later install the new text-to-speech voice, 'Microsoft Anna' on Windows XP, which is part of Windows Vista, for the voice-prompt direction feature. Version 2006 of both Streets & Trips as well as AutoRoute is the last version for Windows 98 / Me and version 2007 is the last version for Windows 2000.

Streets & Trips 2008 added online services integration like MSN Direct and Live Search Maps for current traffic updates, and an automatic re-routing feature if the driver missed a turn or took a wrong turn. [14] Streets & Trips 2008 (and older) included 336 pushpin symbols and they were easy to spot due to the use of bright colors. Streets & Trips 2009 replaced these symbols with a new set of 46 pushpins and removed many pushpins, besides reducing their contrast. In response to this, the Streets and Trips user community created a default map template[15] which has the 2008 pin set in order to re-add them to the program. The former pushpins were restored in the 2010 version but still with the newer visual styling.

Streets & Trips 2009[16] also added pronunciation of street names, as part of the voice directions prompts. The map of Mexico now includes street-level data of even small towns, but the address-find feature still has not been enabled for there. This release saw the first user interface update in many years with new colorful and optionally, large toolbar icons.

Streets & Trips 2010 [17] added hide/show pushpinsets, hide/show information balloons, import/export GPX files, export to GPS navigation device, export to mobile phone, and 348 new pushpin symbols were added, the majority restored former pins as mentioned above.

Streets & Trips 2011 [18] is mainly a database update adding 88,000 miles of new mapping to the program and the removal of support for the ending MSN Direct service and coupon data, while allowing direct map correction feedback to maps provider Navteq and the addition of cardinal direction guidance and alternate road names to direction data. This version came out in February rather than the traditional August/September release date. No reasons were given. There was no release called Streets & Trips 2012.

The last version, Streets & Trips 2013 was released on July 1, 2012 with a new online custom ratings and reviews feature[19] and Metro UI-style icons. [20] Despite previous reports that the 2013 version did not accept data from older versions, the 2013 version converts the old files for usage and the user can save them in that format.

A separate version of the product was always sold with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver to allow users to use the product as a satellite navigation system. Since version 2008,[21] Microsoft started requiring Product Activation for the retail versions of Streets & Trips,[22] although Volume License (VL) versions available through MSDN did not require activation.

On July 7, 2014, Microsoft announced the discontinuation of Streets & Trips. Although Microsoft continues to provide mapping solutions as apps for its Windows operating system, Microsoft will provide online support for current users until July 14, 2015.[23]

All versions of Windows 10 include a free GPS-ready mapping app similar to Streets & Trips. This can be used offline, though the map data must be initially downloaded before use on a state by state, province by province basis. In the U.S. and Canada, actual (not calculated) residential and commercial street addresses are included. Voice navigation is provided to GPS-enabled devices. The drawing tools from Streets & Trips have been removed, however.

Compatibility[edit]

Streets & Trips 2007 and later are compatible with Windows Vista and later modern operating systems (Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10).

The software had an incompatibility with Advanced Vector Extensions in x86 processors causing it to hang/freeze on the splash screen on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit. [24] Microsoft patched Windows 7 via a hotfix - KB2643882.

System requirements of the 2013 version[edit]

  • Processor: 300 MHz or faster
  • Operating system: Windows 8, Windows 7 with 1 GB RAM, Windows Vista with 1 GB RAM, Windows Server 2008 with 512 MB RAM, or Windows XP with 256 MB RAM (64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Server excluded); service packs for operating systems recommended.
  • Hard disk space: 2.0 GB available hard disk space
  • Display: Super VGA (1024 x 768) or higher resolution monitor
  • Certain features require Internet Explorer. If not present, Internet Explorer will be installed but will not displace your primary browser.
  • Input device: Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft IntelliMouse, or a compatible pointing device
  • GPS features require a USB GPS device that supports NMEA 2.0 or later. If the GPS device supports GPX file format, the routes created in the app can be sent directly to the device.
