Default Unable to access brand new office pro

Bought new Compaq 3200+ desktop.
Got Office professional edition 2003 cd frommicrosoft in mail today via home
use program from work.
Have cd case in front of me yet every time I try to open any office program,
it requires me to enter the product key. I verify it typed correctly
numerous times yet it tells me the product key is not valid.
Ideas?

If your new computer came with a trial version of Office 2003
preinstalled on it by the computer manufacturer, then you should
have uninstalled the trial version before installing your home
use program version. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836178 "You receive an
'invalid product key' error message when you start an Office 2003
program after you install Office Professional Edition 2003" for
more information.
