launches left before I have to activate.

The desktop link now hits a Microsoft 'Try or Buy site' which gives the
option for an outright license purchase or a 60 day free trial download. No
'1 year pre-paid activation feature' of any kind. Have we been sold short?

Apologize for the inconvenience.

Have logged a service request with Samsung and will post back with an update.

I have exactly the same problem. I hope that Samsung / Microsoft sort this
out soon before I run out of my 'free goes' before it no longer works. I will
feel very cheated if after buying the netbook with this in the description, I
am denied using it.

My new samsung netbook has exactly the same "1 year pre paid trial". I have
located the product key, but it tells me it is incorrect.... is this part of
the same probelm?

You can boot and use Office 25 times while waiting for the activation servers
to come up.

Mine does exactly the same and allegedly has a year of pre-paid trial. There is not a key on any label either.

Wow JoAnn...pretty rude and snippy...
Especially for someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

So is the 1 year subscription worked out, or should we be looking for a
class action attorney?

How's the "Publisher" gig going anyway?

What do you mean "try and get the key for it"? The key is on a label, not a
website.
