jo 5/1/2007 1:52:00 AM
I purchased new pc with vista on it it also had m/s office 2007, from the
home page
i understand that after 25 uses I need to buy office 2007, is this correct?
I was sure that the program was included in the price, is this correct? If I
have to purchase m/s office 2007 to run on my new pc with vista, I will not
buy it but download m/s verson office 2003. please advise jo

Not really - the trial version, which is what you have, is limited to 60
days from activation (AFAIK). You can use it as many times as you like in
that 60 days

Check the invoice from your vendor - it should list it if you did indeed pay
for the full version.

You can't "download" Office 2003.

It sounds as though you don't know what you've paid for, which is a scary
thought. I'd suggest reading your receipt and/or talking to the salesperson
who sold you the computer.

Does it mean you have to 'activate' it to make it work after 25 uses?

No it's a timed thing, not number of uses.
