Default Office Trial Activation Trouble

I just downloaded the 60-day trial version of Microsoft Office, and went
through the entire installation process, including the activation, and
everything seemed to go smoothly. But when I go to run the actual programs
like Word or OneNote, I get told that my trial has expired. How's that
possible? Am I doing something wrong or is it a glitch with the download?!
HELP!!

Default Office Trial Activation Trouble

You only get one free trial period. If your computer came with a free
trial version of Office 2007, which expired, then you cannot install
another free trial version of Office 2007 to extend the free trial
period.

Default Office Trial Activation Trouble

My computer did come with one, but I just got the computer a week ago, and
the trial version that came with it worked for about 2 hours, but after I had
closed Office and tried to use it again, that trial version gave me exactly
the same message even though prior to that it had told me my trial would
expire till april.

I have just had exactly the same problem I had Word fully operational
this morning and as soon as I closed the program I can now only access
word with reduced function. I too have only just purchased my laptop and
was told I had a 60 day trial - this is such a nightmare I have sat all
day trying to sort it out with no success.
