existing product key won't work on trial version SHenley Campbell 11/3/2008 4:49:01 PM I just bought a new laptop to replace one that is defective. My new laptop has a trial version of Office. I have Office Standard 2007 for Academic Use on the laptop that is being replaced. When prompted to enter a product key for the trial version of Office on my new laptop, I entered my existing product key. However, it is not being accepted. Do I need to wait until the trial version has expired and install my existing Office Standard 2007 for Academic Use? If I can't get my existing product key to work on the trial version, what are my options? Thank you for your assistance.
