Hi Kevin,
The product keys are version specific. Office 2007 Basic edition (an OEM product) uses a different key from MS Office Standard and
Professional Retail edition. OEM editions are intended to be preinstalled on new PCs and are license-locked to the machine they're
first activated on. Office retail products are license-transferable ones that can be moved later to another machine.
The trial editions available at
http://trymicrosoftoffice.com are retail products.

I bought a MLK office 2007 basic parkage ( empty case), download a trail
edtion from microsoft ,( standard and professional). try to convert trail to
my OEM key, does not work!
Help!>>
