Office 2007 Small Business OEM - How do I install in newly built P

[Pud]

A customer of mine who is currently running Windows XP on a barebones system
wanted me to upgrade him to Vista Home Premium and Office Small Business
2007. His current machine will not run Vista so we decided on my building a
new one for him.

I bought all the hardware and the two OEM licences from the same supplier,
although I did notice that Office 2007 Small Business OEM version case does
say that it can only be used with a new Microsoft Office Ready PC. So, I'm
having some difficulty ...

I've tried downloading the 60-day trial version of Office 2007 from the
website but this will not accept the key from the OEM license I've purchased.

How does one make a newly built PC Mcrosoft Office Ready? I know that all
the major PC manufacturers do this. But how can a small PC builder do the
same?

You need to go back to the supplier.

I did ask the supplier about this when I bought the hardware/software and
they advised me to download the trial version from the Microsoft website.
But this download is obviously for the Retail version.

Is it possible for the small PC builder to install OEM Office software or
has ths been outlawed by Microsoft for whatever reason?

I would still suggest you go back to the supplier and explain the situation
to them. At this point you've spent money for something that you cannot use
and it's up to them to either make it right or refund your money.
