Office 30 Day Trial probelm?

[AArnold]

Hi! Is there is something wrong with the CD’s or the activation? They seem hard coded to expire on January 31st, 2004, regardless of the system date or the date on which you activate.

Help!

Is it the trial or the beta refresh? The beta expires Jan 31 2004.

I go into Word to activate the program with a valid/legal product key, just received from Microsoft and cannot activate. Click on the Activate Product button and get the following message with no other option available to click on

"Thank you for installing the Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 trial. This copy of the trial will expire on Friday, April 30, 2004.

Does that mean I'll have to re-install Office??? I sure hope not, since I've added add-ins, set it up the way I want it, etc. I'd hate to have to re-spend hours doing it all over again!
