install setup

I bought a new laptop a few days ago, and Office OneNote 2003 was included in
the computer from the beginning. I have only attempted to actually set it up
today, and it is telling me that my 25 character product key isn't valid! I
have checked and rechecked that what I am typing is in fact the correct
product key but Office OneNote won't accept it. What can I do?

I gotta ask a silly question; You're typing in the OneNote Product Key and
not the Office Product Key? If your computer came with both Office and
OneNote, they should have included two separate Product Keys, since these
are two separately licensed products.

Otherwise, is OneNote the full version or a trial version? Some OEMs
include trial software and have not in fact bundled the full version of
certain products...
