Office Standard 2007 full version tellling me it's a trial
I recently purchased a student license of MS Office 2007 and installed it to
my new PC laptop (Windows 7) using a CD and the product key supplied (which was accepted with no problems). It installed ok - but still said it was a trial version. I contacted the supplier, who said: "The product you have purchased is not a Trial version, it is the full Office Home & Student title. The problem may be that your PC/Laptop was shipped to you originally with a trial version and this will need to be un-installed." They were correct, so I uninstalled both the trial version, which I had signed up for online about a month ago, and the new version. I went through the installation process again (with CD and key) but it is still coming up as a trial version (I also checked this in the Control Panel). I saw on another forum that this type of issue can result from clashes with pre-installed software. I don't mind if it's a glitch - I just don't want it to suddenly expire! Does anyone know why this might be happening or what I need to do? Thanks in advance! |

Office Standard 2007 full version tellling me it's a trial
I just uninstalled and reinstalled again and Office is now showing up as
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Subscription in Control Panels (which seems correct). I entered the product key and it was accepted (with a green tick) - all seemed to install properly. However, when I open Word it is still telling me it's a trial version and it won't let me activate the trial online as it says the product key is incorrect - I assume because it isn't the product key for the trial version. I have definitely deleted the Office trial via the Control Panel, so just can't figure this out... help!?! |

You have to uninstall any Trial together with Activation Asistant and reboot
prior to installing any paid for version. Its allways possible add/remove failed for the trial, in which case http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us "MrsR" wrote in message ...
