Microsoft Research AutoCollage 2008 has a free trial version that should be downloaded from the site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=127040. It is highly recommend that potential customers download and try the application before purchasing the product key. Despite our best test efforts, it is very hard to anticipate the performance of image processing applications in different hardware configurations. At this time, the product keys can only be purchased from the Microsoft Store in the United Kingdom (for customers in the European Union) or in the United States of America.

It came to our attention that some unauthorized sites are making the AutoCollage application available, for free or for a fee. Please make sure that you only download AutoCollage from the official site. The setup file for v1.0, named MicrosoftAutoCollageSetup.msi, has 7,171,072 bytes, and the file should have a digital signature from Microsoft Corporation, with a Timestamp of July 16, 2008 (you should be able to verify the time stamp opening the file properties dialog and looking at the “Digital Signatures” tab).
