Re: invalid product key

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Karen, Just wondering how you got on with installing microsoft office. I
have also purchased an ASUS laptop and then after the trial expiring I bought
Office small business and surprise surprise it keeps telling me the product
key is incorrect. What did you do to install the softare?

I got it from the Microsoft store! Brand new, never been opened. I think
there must be something with the laptops and the trial version loaded onto
them that is causing so much grief. Sigh....

I too purchased a ASUS laptop that had a Microsoft Office 2007 trial
version
installed. I purchased a complete copy of Office 2007 Pro. I uninstalled
the trial version and tried to install the new legal copy but I am getting
the invalid product key error message. (Note: I also got it when I tried
to
activate the trial version that was already installed using this product
key
as well.) I checked the numbers and had my hubby check the numbers too of
the product key.

Help!!

I purchased a new laptop from new egg with vista home premium and
purchased
microsoft office small business 2007 with it, they sent the laptop with
vista
and trial version of office installed. I continually get the invalid
product
key message even though I copy it directly off the card they sent. I have
contacted HP (who provided laptop) and they told me to contact microsoft,
I
then contacted microsoft who verified the product key was valid but then
wouldn't help unless I pay them, and told me to contact new egg, and of
course new egg has no tech support what so ever, please help
