Office Home & Student 2007 Covert problem

[Antomic]

I had to reinstal my Office Home & Student. I start it up and it tells me my
trial version is finished and I need to convert. I use my product code to
convet and it installs everything. When I return to open the same program or
any other program on the Office Home & Student it always asks for my product
code. Any suggestions?

You you need to uninstall the Trial Version together with Activation
Assistant, via add/remove. reboot before installing from your paid for media

I have recently purchase a copy of Student office 2007 and installed it on a
desk top. I have 2 more installations left.

I later purchased a new laptop with a trial version of student office 2007.
The trial version is obviously the same as the purchased copy however it
converts to limited functionality status after opening it a number of times.

This is more of a suggestion than a question, but why can't Microsoft make
things a little easier for everyone by allowing the activation code be used
for the trial software to convert it back to full function, rather than the
full uninstall and reinstall of the purchased copy. My activation code would
still be recorded with Microsoft as being used for the second time, of which
I have 3 available installs with the same copy of office, so I can't see any
security or piracy issues.

Does this make sense, or have I missed something. Secondly, documents
created in the trial version that has expired, can they be opened with the
purchase copy of office when it is installed and activated?
