That product key is for Windows, not Word. You need to call HP and ask them where to find the right one. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "govind" wrote in message news:BF68C374-1E10-4FED-93BD-B31F4E07303F@microsoft.com... >I brought a laptop HP windows Vista basic.Every time when I try to use > microsoft word,a message want me to type in the product key,I found it in > the > back of the computer,but it said was wrong(I also tried many times). > > Now I can not use microsoft word,this is crazy. > Please someone help me! what I have to do? > >
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 is 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.
