Default Activating trial version

My dad bought a computer with a trial version of XP on it and now wants to
activate it. However, the 25 digit serial number is wrong according to
microsoft website when he goes through the activation process. Thus he is
stuck, what are his options for proceeding to activate the software? TIA

Make sure you are using the Office XP activation key and not the one for
Windows. If this was a used computer, the trial version is most likely no
longer valid. XP is an older version of Office. You can download the new
trial version at the Office web site.
