Hello CathyWren,
The reason it worked was because it was still in it's Trial Period. Once office reached the end of it's trial period, it then converted to Non-Genuine.
Office Ultimate 2007 Contains
Access 2007
Accounting Express 2007
Excel 2007
Groove 2007
OneNote
Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager
PowerPoint 2007
Publisher 2007
Word 2007
Outlook Express is a 'lite' version of Outlook. Oultlook 2007 came with the Office Ultimate 2007. Outlook Express came free with Vista by default. Outlook Express should not be coming up as Non-Genuine since it's a free program.
Please go to
http://microsoft.com/genuine and click the Validate Office button. If anything is found non-Genuine, it will tell you why.
Thank you,
Darin MS
