Trial version keeps asking for key

[gsacks]

I downloaded the 60-day free trial and typed in the key that I got in the
Getting Started email. It seems to have worked. But whenever I start up
Powerpoint, I'm asked to enter the key again. It doesn't accept the key that
was emailed to me (and yes, I used cut and paste). The strangest part is that
the email says it's Office Professional 2007 and the window that asks for the
key says it's the Home and Student version.

Are you sure that you downloaded the proper version. There is a trial
download for both H & S and Pro. Which is actually installed? Start Word,
Click Office Orb, Word Options, Resources, About and read the line "Part of
Microsoft Office XXX 2007 where XXX will be the Office version installed.

It turns out that I had somehow downloaded both and installed Home and
Student. I uninstalled H&S and installed Professional Trial and now
everything's OK. I'm being dragged into the Windows world from the Mac world
where things are much easier to manage.

Yes, sometimes too many options can be undesirable.

Glad you got it sorted out.
