MS Office 2007 and 25 character product key

New Vista machine....came pre-installed with MS Office 07 and it's prompting me to enter in that product key each time I open the application up..I CAN cancel out from the screen asking for the code and continue to compose and save a document with no problems... but I do want rid of the annoyance ASAP.

Like a fool I have been entering in my product key for it from off the bottom of my laptop LOL I obviously don't have a disk that came with it, so where do I find this product key, program files for instance doesn't seem to be harbouring it anywhere....a kick in the right direction would be beautiful

Thanks

Even with pre-installed office it should have come with an installation disk and product key. If not you should contact the place you purchased it from.

 

I will contact the place it came from for sure..but before I did that I wanted to know if anyone knew if the product key would be somewhere inside the program files directory or some place else.... guess I will have a hunt for it and if no joy will contact the store i bought the machine from. But it certainly did not come with a disk for MS Office 2007 so I shall see what I can do about obtaining one from them

Thanks

HI Halo I have had this PC for a couple of weeks now. I will definately add contacting the store to my ever increasing "to do" list

Thanks for the info..I didn't even consider that the whole lot could be a trial only.....I would then turn to open office as you say
