Office Professional 2007 issues

[KC]

I have Windows7 and have tried several times to download and activate Office
Professional 2007. I get an activation code, enter it and when I open up an
office program, it says the trial period has expired. I get a date of
expiration of Dec. 31, 2002.
I had this working on my computer with Vista but the motherboard failed.
I am in need of getting this running as I have classes that I have to use
this software with.
Support only has me uninstall and reinstall. Get the same bad results.
Anyone have any ideas they can offer?
Thanks in advance.

You broke it and the trial has expired, short of completely blowing away
the HD contents and reinstalling, you are stuck with buying Office 2007
if you want to keep using it.

You need to manually uninstall Office 2007 from your system using the
following method:

<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218>

You can then install the trial version again (using new serial number
obtainable from Microsoft by pretending to download again and you will
get another 60 days.

Have tried that. I still get the same issue; software trial expiration date
is Dec. 2002 and therefore only can read things.
I purchased a 180 day trial software disc from school. I loaded it into my
laptop but that motherboard crashed and it used Vista. Cost was prohibitive
to fix so I not have a new laptop with Windows7. Cannot figure out why I keep
having this issue. I have tried to reload the disc as well as download a new
trial version from microsoft. All with the same bad results.

IIRC the 180 day student trial can only be installed and activated ONE time.
It doesn't matter that it is a new computer. Check the documentation that
came with the disk.

Are you sure you have removed everything from the registry? If you
have then Windows can't know any existence of Office and so you can
install again. The alternative is to do a clean install of Windows
and start again but this may take three days if you are not
organized like me! the alternative is to remove the entire Office
12 Registry hive.

I have never come across installing trial versions time after after
on the same system.

I have wiped the complete computer, although it is only one week old. The
last time I tried to download the trial software, the computer received a
corrupt file and could not uninstall.

The 180 day disc does not say anything about a one time install. My
instructor said it should be able to be reinstalled in another computer. I
only have one more month of class and only would need Access as I own the
home and student 2007 version which I could install.

Still getting a 2002 date upon activation, no matter how or where I install
from. I did get an email from microsoft telling me that they are updating
some software on the site. Wonder why they don't have this software in two
downloads as it seems at the portion from the 2nd part of the download is
causing most of the grief. It only applies to people on servers. grrrr

Forget about your trial CD. I suggest download a Professional
Version from here:

<http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/product.aspx?sku=3203819&culture=en-US&re_ms=variant-b>

You can also read about Setup and installation here:

<http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/setupinfo.aspx?culture=en-US>

After 60 days I will tell you how to crack it so that you have full
version without time limits.

Well, I tried once again after uninstalling everything Office before
downloading. It comes up that the trial has expired in 2002. I am horribly
frustrated. I cannot do my homework at home due to the issue and school is 45
minutes away. Horrible waste of time but I want to complete the class. I have
heard nothing back from Microsoft today about the issue.


Any other ideas?
Thanks.

For an ability to do the homework I now recommend that you download and
install Open Office www.openoffice.org. This free software has PowerPoint,
Word and Excel 2003 work-alike programs. It will (with a Save As) save
files in Office 97-2003 format that can be opened without any conversion on
a computer that runs Office. The menu is slightly different than Office
2003 but for most tasks you should have no issue figuring it out quickly.

That, at least, will get the homework done and allow time to figure out what
has happened with Office.

I tried that and the class requires Microsoft Office Professional 2007 to do
the homework. I am now getting a message from microsoft that I have
downloaded more than my alloted number of times and it won't let me download.
I have never got any of these downloads to work.
Getting really frustrated!!!!
