How do I get a product key?

[*I*Love*Cereal*]

I have a new computer and when I enter the product key a message tells me
that the code is incorrect. How can I solve this problem??

1. Make sure that you are entering the correct key. It's not the one stuck
to the back of your computer.

2. Turn on bright lights - several of the characters can be easily misread.

Okay, I've been typing in the wrong key then. I'm guessing I will have to
call the store where the computer was purchased so that they can give me the
code. Right??

Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft
Office program, it s likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a
license (product key) for Microsoft Office.

The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system)
and not for Microsoft Office. Please review the following:

Did you actually pay extra for Office or that the trial version?

Call the computer manufacturer and ask them where they put the key. I would
suggestgoing thru all of your paperwork before doing that.
