Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft
Office program, it is likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a
license (product key) for Microsoft Office.

The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system)
and not for Microsoft Office.

Please review the following:

The key on the label under the Laptop is for Windows.
If you were supplied with a version of Office that is not a trial the key
will be in your documentation, if not ask your Laptop supplier.
