activation key for office 2007 trial Mana 5/20/2007 10:56:00 PM I recently got a new laptop with Office 2007 preinstalled. When I try to get an activation key from the Activation Assistant, I get a message saying "The Microsoft Office Activation Assistant was unable to detect a 2007 Microsoft Office release." I also tried to request an activation key online (I live in Canada) but I get "invalid or missing county" so the request doesn't go through. Is there any way for me to activate my free trial?
