I purchased a new laptop from new egg with vista home premium and purchased
microsoft office small business 2007 with it, they sent the laptop with vista and trial version of office installed. I continually get the invalid product key message even though I copy it directly off the card they sent. I have contacted HP (who provided laptop) and they told me to contact microsoft, I then contacted microsoft who verified the product key was valid but then wouldn't help unless I pay them, and told me to contact new egg, and of course new egg has no tech support what so ever, please help |

yes, the trial version was for home and student, what I didn't say was that I
purchased two laptops and two copies of office. I completely deleted home and student off of one and went online and downloaded a trial version of small business, possibly I missed some small part of the original trial version?

defeating isnt it? "bryan" wrote in message ... yes, the trial version was for home and student, what I didn't say was that I purchased two laptops and two copies of office.

Well DL, when you purchase office from new egg all they send you is a card
with your activation certificate, you get no cd, or any other means of office origination, you must convert from trial version. Thank you for your help.

You need to find the trial version of Office Small Business, not Home and
Student.

Have you double checked those numbers? An 8 can look like a B, D's look like
0 or O, etc. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "bryan" wrote in message ... which I did, I now have one lap top with office small business trial version, which I still cannot change to full.
