Time-Limited Office 2003

[Jay Bollyn]

Through TechNet+, I have installed a time-limited version of Office 2003.
What are the steps to remove the time restriction, when I have the
unrestricted CD-ROM?

If you could point me toward a MS document that addresses this, that would
be great. I have not been able to find this information in TechNet.

TIA -- Jay

You will need to uninstall the timelimited version and install the full
retail version (MSDN or purchased.)

If the time limited TechNet one is like the retail trials are supposed to
be, you can buy a retail copy right from the screen and enter the new key.
If you buy it elsewhere you can try entering the new key - see Help,
Activation. You can also install over the trial and it's supposed to remove
the time restriction. As a last resort, uninstall, reboot, reinstall the
unlimited one.

Ah, yes, the trial edition activation that I could never get to work.
