Re: How do I get the trial software to accept my product key?

Me too, I hope he's correct about the full version but we
will see what happens in another 6o days. I have never
heard MS taking only a "small fee" to enable the full
version.

Okay - I feel better now.

(I know, I get my knickers twisted over the dumbest
things.)

I'm sorry, maybe I was not clear before. I did NOT get
another trial period.
I paid a small fee to convert the trial to a full
product. There was also a
glitch in the trial software that they helped me fix, but
I am now using the
full product for which I paid a small fee to convert.

But why do you feel you deserve another trial period?
Why shouldn't you have
to pay the piper at this point?

No, no, no! You're absolutely right for being upset at
the thought of me
lying, but I didn't! I explained everything to them
the same way I
explained
it all to you. I DID tell them that I had been using a
trial period that
has
now expired. They even assigned me a new product key,
and that too did not
work. I paid them a small fee to basically unlock a
glitch in the software
itself, and it began working. The information that MS
provided me with was
not a trial period, it's the full product. I truly
understand your ill
feelings at the thought of me lying. I appreciate the
help and comments
that
you gave.

I'll bet you didn't tell Microsoft you had already
used up your trial
period
tho, did you? You managed to cheat them out of
another 60 days. Feel good
about not telling the truth and cheating? Your mom
and grandmother would
be
proud of you.

You BOTH were wrong!!! Microsoft contacted me
through email and gave me
the
instructions on how to activate my Office software.
It's up and
running! I
am
now navigating the software, learning how to use
it. Perhaps you were a
bit
too confident of your MS tech knowledge?

DUH, what part of "used the trial ..." and "Yes,
we have used
up....."
don't you understand? You can't install a trial
piece of software
after
the trial period is expired. You will need to
purchase the version
of
Office you would like installed, and install it
or use one of the
free
Office clones that are available
(www.openoffice.org is a good one.)

JoAnn, I should have let you do this, but I
couldn't resist..

Yes, we have used up the trial period of the
software. We recently
had
to
do
a complete recovery of our HP computer, and
therefore reinstalled
all
the
software that came with our computer. Now, I'm
trying to use the
product
key
that is printed on the back of the software,
but an 'invalid
product
key'
error keeps popping up.

answered this question.

Did you already use the trial software for a
set timeframe and are
trying to
reinstall it?

I have tried many, many times to enter the
product key code on
the
sticker
that's on the back of my Office 2003
Standard Trial software. I
keep
getting
an error that says that the product key is
invalid. So, I
contacted
Microsoft
who sent me to a website where I obtained a
new product key.
That
one
does
not work either. I am still getting the same
error message when
I
enter
the
new product key also. What should I do?
