Look at that label again. It's for Windows, not Office. Completely wrong
product. Also, I'm hoping you have a full version of Office on that system
and not just the trial version.

The key on the bottom of the laptop is for Windows, not Office. To upgrade
to the full version you will need to purchase a retail copy (unless you
previously had a valid version of Office that would qualify for upgrade
pricing.) Amazon has been the cheapest source recently for the retail and
upgrade products. If you have Works 9 on the new system that does qualify
for the upgrade.

See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...754511033.aspx for upgrade
qualifier and recommended pricing.

If upgrading from Works 9 see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943290/en-us
for a known issue on upgrading Works 9 to Office 2007.
