Office 2003 standard trial validation process

Question

Sign in to vote

Hi all, I downloaded the 60 day trial of office standard 2003 from the office site, now of course activation works, but i know validation fails because it is a trial version, is there a specific reason for this? I know soon if u want a template from office online your copy of office has to be validated so I was just wondering why Microsoft wouldn't validate there own trial version.

thanks.
