Default Restoring Office 2007 Trial Version After Uninstalling

My new computer came with the trial version of office 2007. At the time I
did not want to use it and subequently uninstalled the trial version and went
back to using office 2003.

My work has now bought a licence key for Office Small Business 2007 for me
to use but since I have uninstalled the trial version is there anyway to get
it back or can I download the trial version from MS and would it let me
activate it using the code I have? I have a code which is an oem code for
New HP PC's.

I cannot restore the trial version on my pc - no disc and nothing in the
program restore for it either, using Windows Vista Home Premium.

Thanks

Default Restoring Office 2007 Trial Version After Uninstalling

The key from an HP oem version of office will only work with the HP oem
provided software, and a Trial version is not such.
In order for you to have perminently activated your origonal Trial version
you would either have had to purchase a key from MS, or for you to have
purchased an office pkg, uninstalled the trial then installed from the cd
you purchased.

You need to get the disk for Office SBE from your employer who provided the
key. A retail or volume license key will not activate a downloaded trial
version of the software. If this was purchased by the employer under the
home use rights program you need to contact the employer for either the
install media or the location to download the install media.

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.
