Microsoft Office 2003 INVALID PRODUCT KEY ERROR

M

mediumrest

i've got a copy of Microsoft Office 2003 Trial Edition
bundled with an HP Pavillion ZE4800 laptop. i followed
the instructions to begin install... i used the product
key embossed on the CD sleeve for the Microsoft Works &
Money CD as instructed and received the invalid product
key message. this morning i contacted HP, they
forwarded me to microsoft and i was instructed on how to
get a new product key and received one. i used it and
received the same error.

looking at the product key... it says it is for the
Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 Trial..
and yet when i click on the Office Programs the Microsoft
Office Standard Edition Trial version comes up. i
wonder if this could be the cause of the Invalid Program
Error or whether it is relevant.

Can anyone help???

Your first mistake was using the Key for Microsoft Works with Money - that
CD is entirely different than the Office 2003 trial edition. Look through
your documentation for anything that references the Trial Edition of Office
System 2003. Once you find that, look for the PID in the same
package/sleeve.
