trying to activate word on a new laptop

[SueP]

I purchased Microsoft Office Word 2007 (home and student) only a year ago
for my laptop. I'm now replacing that laptop and would like to use it on the
new one, however, it will not accept the license number that was emailed to
me. Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

If your new laptop came with a free trial version of Office 2007
preinstalled by the computer manufacturer, then you need to uninstall
the free trial version and its activation assistant before you install
your purchased Office 2007 Home and Student Edition.
