Default how can i use my product key on trial version

I was thrown by you telling me that the desktop machine is in for repairs. I
knew that, and assumed other resources because I have other resources. I
don't always read the author, I just open the bold (new) posts and blindly
Reply.

Had the OP told me what yo told me, my Reply would have been correct ;-)

Who are you directing your post to. The OP is FPS and not me. It is the OP
who has the issue. Kindly read the thread from the beginning

You have no other machines, laptops or desktops?

I have 3 desktops, two laptops, and a Netbook. You need to get your CD
onto a network resource, then log on with the Netbook OR buy a USB drive
that you can copy the CD onto, then connect to your Netbook.

I have Office Ultimate 2007 on my computer -- retail version with
product
kery. My computer crashed. While it is being repaired, I purchased
a
netbook (with NO CD drive) to use until repaired computer is returned.

Netbook has trial version of Office. How can I convert the trial
version
into a regular version of Office using the same product key. When I
enter
that 25-digit number, it is returned as "invalid".

Again, I do not have a CD drive in the netbook -- so I can't do a
fresh
installation.

Anyone?



Load the Install CD onto your HDD (home PC) into a Shared Folder. Use
the Netbook to access the shared folder, and load the program. Input
the key when asked.

The upside is, when you are working with the Netbook, you can print to
your printer at home over the network.
