Default Restoring Office 2007 Trial Version After Uninstalling

Besides the 2 excellent answers that was already posted for you ,what
makes you think you can use the key from the SBE to activate a Office
Trial which by no means is not a SBE 2007 Trial but rather one of the
Office suites that is purchasable by Retail. And a Office Trial is not an
OEM

On my machine with the Trial Version of Office '07, I do not recall using a
product key or any other activation process because the product runs for
free for 60 days then stops running, or runs Word basically as a Rich Text
editor at best, but would logically shut all Office aps down entirely.

I uninstalled Office '07 before the end of the tiral, but I don't remember
any registration or activation process at all. I have two Vista machines
with the Trial Version, and we used the trial on one of them and it was very
easy to start using it while it was free. Perhaps the trail ended, and I
loaded Office '03 or Office '00 instead of buying the key to validate the
Free Version to a Full Version -- I don't recall if it was small business of
home & student. I just used it while I could then stopped.
