Product Key and Belarc Advisor

[lpncal]

I followed the instructions posted already by downloading the Belarc Advisor
and it showed me my product key and I copied and pasted it in the product key
box that pops up when I try to use MS Word, and it still says invalid product
key.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Don't do a copy and paste. Retype it.

 

[lpncal]

I retyped it and it says the same thing

Don't do a copy and paste. Retype it.

Then it's almost certainly a trial version.

So I'm screwed then. So Windows Vista Home Premium version does not come
with MS Office with MS Word???

Then it's almost certainly a trial version.

No. Office is not part of Windows. If you were told you get the full version
of Office, then I'd suggest talking to the salesperson who told you that.
They need to help you "find" it.
