I installed an online trial version of Office 2007 because I did not have the
OEM builder pack handy. It has expired and I want to use OEM licence to
activate. I entered the OEM # and it is not accepted. Do I need to re-load
the software with the OEM bulider pack? If so, do I have to first remove the
existing version?

Uninstall the trial version and any incomplete OEM versions. Install the OEM
version.

Joanne:
I purchased a single OEM licence for Office Basic. I cannot find anyplace to
purchase the OPK. I tried Synnex and Techdata and they both told me the
English version is not available any longer. I tried Microsoft website and
everytime that I entered the verification letters/numbers it would take me
back to the verification screen.
In desparation I purchased a French language OPK hoping that when I selected
English as primary language everything would magically change but of course
it didn't and I do not parlais Francois very well.
Is there anyplace that I can download the disks? It surprises me that they
are not more readily available. After all the installable trial version is
only for sixty days.
Any help would be appreciated!
