On install it asks to delete previous versions of Dragon if detected, but says it keeps the old profiles. Still installing, so we shall see.
Immediately asks for serial number. You can enter the Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 serial number in upper or lower case and it will accept it.
Seriously taking a long time to install. Not sure if this is the program, or this particular computer, which is a laptop that is a little older. Running Windows Vista. (I plan to give it a go with my Windows 7 Asus Notebook a bit later)
On opening, it tells me that I have to activate the product, and do I want to activate it now, or later? I chose later to see what happened and it told me I could use it five times before activation will be required. I may not want to use it on this machine ultimately, and I don’t know if it’s going to only license to one machine or not. (maybe somebody here can enlighten me… JP???)
Now it is telling me that my user profile has to be updated and that this process will take between 12 and 24 minutes. (I find the lack of round numbers odd)
Guessing it would take a lot longer if you had a ton of different user profiles. (BTW, installing it on the Asus while this updates and it’s going a lot faster, gotta guess it’s the better processor speed and more ram). Still a little slow though.
OK. done. Definitely took longer than it said, like 25 minutes. 
On the old system it gave me a warning that says-
After analyzing your computer’s processor and memory resources, Natural language commands for the following applications were disabled to optimize performance:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Powerpoint
Corel Wordperfect
-guessing the old box is not going to be the primary for this software….
Now, I did a little preliminary testing, and for me, it looks really promising. I did a few paragraphs of text and it hit it at 100%, without errors. Impressive.
I’m going to end my little mini novel here and do some testing. I’ll post more later when I have more feedback.

Good luck… when dealing with Nuance by phone, good luck is essential.
