I just installed Open Office 3.3 330m20 build 9567 and after starting it for the first time I got a little welcoming message. I filled in my name and etc. and then it asked me if I wanted to register. I said 'yes' and it sent me to my browser with a new tab opened (IE9) but the website could not be displayed. the url in my browser window was this: https://registration2.services.openoffice.org/RegistrationWeb/register/urn:st:d6980a39-1654-4b2c-8435-d7ca8bf46eed?product=OpenOffice.org&locale=en&cid=926117 Hope I am not posting too much info there...
The registration server was hosted by Oracle. There is nothing we can do about this. Going forward, with OpenOffice 3.4 we will not require registration, so this issue will go away. But those who install OOo 3.3 will continue to experience this error.
