I want to edit the "Home Page" on my new installation of MindTouch 2009; I don't have the activation license yet because it is for a trial version of TCS (I believe) and I am not looking to running a trial version I just want the free community version for internal/non-commercial use.

You are running MindTouch Core v.9.12.3 (I am not looking to upgrade)
Windows 2008 MSI Installer
