Product Keys for Home and Student Office 2007

[jgz]

I have two new PCs. Laptop with Vista 32Bit and Desktop with Vista 64 Bit.
Both came with and OEM loaded Office for Home and Student. I did a Trial
activation on both. I then purchased a retail version of the product, so I
could load it on both machines. On the laptop, I uninstalled Microsoft
Office, then loaded the Retail CD Version. It will not accept the product
code from the plastic packing box.
It installs as a trial version. Any suggestions?

How did you uninstall the Trial version? What do you mean by > It installs as a trial version.

And most importantly it will never accept the Product Code as a license. The retail license is not the product code

Can you post ONLY how many digits is your code. DO NOT post the code only the amount of digits it contains

Did you reboot after the uninstall?
