Microsoft Office Trial Conversion

[Mandy]

I downloaded the Home & Office Trial a while back, enjoyed it, decided to buy
it, tried to activate the Trial version but couldn't get Microsoft's website
to work. Tried for several days to get it to work, but when it didn't
decided to just buy a retail copy from Amazon. My copy from Amazon arrived
in the mail today.

I uninstalled the Trial copy, rebooted and installed the Retail version.
The install went fine, entered my product key and everything. Went to open a
document and it still says it's the "Trial" version and that I only have 24
more uses of it before most of the operations stop working.

Help? I really need this program to work ASAP for my job. I'm on deadline
and I'm starting to panic.

If you need Office 2007 for your job, then you should not have purchased
Office 2007 Home and Student Edition, because this edition's Software
License Terms prohibit your using the software for any commercial,
non-profit, or revenue-generating business activities.

 

[Mandy]

Right. I know that!

I'm using the Home version for home stuff and to get *comfortable* with the
program itself so I don't look like a moron at work, you know? We need to
have a knowledge of the program itself by the deadline or I miss out on the
project. I didn't want to buy the huge commercial one for Home just to learn
how to get around the program.

So can anyone actually help me with my problem?

 

[Mandy]

Never mind. I figured out the problem myself, which, I've found, is what you
usually have to do with stuff like this!

Well, I wonder what you did?
