I have Windows7 and have tried several times to download and activate Office
Professional 2007. I get an activation code, enter it and when I open up an
office program, it says the trial period has expired. I get a date of
expiration of Dec. 31, 2002.
I had this working on my computer with Vista but the motherboard failed.
I am in need of getting this running as I have classes that I have to use
this software with.
Support only has me uninstall and reinstall. Get the same bad results.
Anyone have any ideas they can offer?
Thanks in advance.

You broke it and the trial has expired, short of completely blowing away
the HD contents and reinstalling, you are stuck with buying Office 2007
if you want to keep using it.

You need to manually uninstall Office 2007 from your system using the
following method:

<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218>

You can then install the trial version again (using new serial number
obtainable from Microsoft by pretending to download again and you will
get another 60 days.

Have tried that. I still get the same issue; software trial expiration date
is Dec. 2002 and therefore only can read things.
I purchased a 180 day trial software disc from school. I loaded it into my
laptop but that motherboard crashed and it used Vista. Cost was prohibitive
to fix so I not have a new laptop with Windows7. Cannot figure out why I keep
having this issue. I have tried to reload the disc as well as download a new
trial version from microsoft. All with the same bad results.

IIRC the 180 day student trial can only be installed and activated ONE time.
It doesn't matter that it is a new computer. Check the documentation that
came with the disk.
