  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.  Please review the following:

  BrandieM,

   

  This post will be moved over to the Vista Genuine Advantage forum for further support.

  This is the forum for Office Genuine Advantage and it looks like your issue involves the operating system, Windows Vista

  for Home.

  Please read the post from Carey Frisch as is most likely the reason why these situations happen with preloaded office trial versions on Vista.
