what's this test drive?

I installed Office X on my Mac laptop; I didn't use it for quite a while, and
when I tried to open something in Word, I got a message saying the test drive
has expired! What "test drive"?! I bought this, the full version. It still
works on my desktop Mac, why not on the laptop?

Was this an install from the Web? Or was it from your Office 2004 CD? If
from the Office CD (physical CD) it allows an install to a desktop and
portable so you should be fine.

What happens if you try to remove Office 2004 and reinstall from your
purchased CD?

Were you prompted for your Office installation key when you installed?
