how purchase upgrade to trial office 2007

I have computer with office basic 2007 and office professional 2007 trial
preinstalled. After using it for a short time I decided I wanted to upgrade
but am absolutely unable to do it. I've tried 5 or six times over the last 6
months. The wizzard comes up to purchase a key on line. I select this and
get a Microsoft web page that says Product Activation Message © 2002
Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Nothing happens after this.
How do I purchase the upgrade? I have read numerous entries telling how
to upgrade and many of these questions. None seem to address this issue.

YOu may want to purchase your version from amazon.com - they offer free
shipping, CDs at no extra cost and have much lower prices than Microsoft.

Thank you, Milly. I have the disks. I was under the impression that the
upgrade from Basic to Professional was a particular price that reflected that
I already bought and paid for the Basic. The Amazon selections seem to
require payment for the full package. Or at least a discounted version of
the whole package. I thought I was supposed to be able to buy a key, but
darned if I know how.

You purchase the Office Pro upgrade edition, which is discounted when
compared to the full edition.
You uninstall any trial edition, prior to installing the upgrade edition,
from disk.

Buying a key from MS is more expensive than buying the upgrade from amazon,
and with amazon you are supplied the disks.
