Did my Microsoft Office expire?

I bought a Dell computer almost 4 months ago. And never used Microsoft Office. Its always asking for the Product Key and when I input the Product Key it always says its invalid. Did my Microsoft Office expire or is something wrong here?

It depends on what you got on your computer.



Sometimes, computer manufacturers install a trial version of Microsoft Office that works for 90 days. You may have one of those.



However, I have gotten computers from Dell before with MS Office on it. The first time you start the program, it asks for the CD key (which it sounds like you have). That is needed to activate the software. If the software isn't activated within 30 days, it won't work.



Not sure why activation is 30 days but the trial is 90 days. That doesn't make any sense, but that is Microsoft for you.



If I were you, I would contact Dell and tell them your situation. If you should have a valid CD key, they will be able to tell you (and maybe provide you with one that works).



Or you can bypass MS Office entirely and download the free and legal OpenOffice.org from http://www.openoffice.org (which is my office program of choice).

If you purchased a eval copy it will expire. Otherwise if its a full edition copy of the suite you should not be asked for the key.
Microsoft sucks.
you only got a 60 day trial version uninstal it and go to www.openoffice.org download it and use it its compatable with microsoft office

I bought a new computer last month and it came with a free Microsoft Office trial that will last for 60 days. That is what happened to you I feel.
