Registering Office 2007 over a trial version

[Davec93]

I have a new PC running Vista Home Premium. It came with a trial versionon
of Office 2007 installed but i did not activate it. I bought a copy of
Office 2007 SBE with the PC (OEM CDs), I have loaded this SBE version,
successfully entered the Product Key from the CD case and registered on the
website. However, when I open Word or Excel get a BCM office Admin dialog
box message saying "Office Application Version does not Match" and the top
'bar' states: MS Word for non-comercial use. Clearly, this is wrong as I
have the Small Business Edition. How do I cure this 'error' and gain access
to the SBE applications that i paid for?

Whether the trial is activated or not, its still present.
Uninstall all of Office, both trial & SBA, clear temp files, reboot. Install
your retail version
