Need help with computer?

Question

the trial of microsoft office 2003 I have is about to expire. I entered product key on hte back of tower to go to the full version but nothing happened. need help!!

Answer 1

You have to buy it. It costs a lot of money. One option to get it back is to reset your computer, but then you would lose everything. The other option is to download and use another kind of office program. It is good and free and works with microsoft office files. The download is 70 megs:

Answer 2

After trial version expires you will have to purchase MS Office, In with CD will be product key code to register soft ware with MS. Now that MS Office 2007 is out version 2003 might be hard to find. I would go ahead and buy MS Office 2007, Purchase it from computer store like Fry's,Circuit City,Best Buy or even Wal Mart,shop for best price. I saw MS office 2007 the other day for about $149.00 at Sam's.
It is better to buy than down load so you get CD in case needed at later time.
Hope this helps

Answer 3

When I bought my new laptop I activated my trial copy of Office 2003, when the trial ran out I followed the link in the help menu to update Office 2003 and it took me to Microsoft.com. I paid for the full version and received the product key that unlocked Office 2003 for me.

Answer 4

dude usually the product key at the back of the tower is your windows xp product key not your microsoft office 2003 product key...unless your manufacturer stick it there.. check the lable it sould say the product name.... you must be having a trial version of it... you will need to buy it or hack it... LOL!!!

Answer 5

The key in the back is the windows key.. When it expires you must renew by paying, or just use the free office, openoffice (http://www.openoffice.org) it is compatible with MS Office and free..

Hope this helps & good luck :)

Answer 6

I would recommend contacting Microsoft about that. Or make sure its compatible with your system or software installed on the system.
