| Can I Activate My Pre-Installed Office 2007 with a Retail License Hi: I just bought a new computer that has a 60-day trial version of Office 2007 pre-installed on it. If I begin using the 60-day trial version, and I buy a boxed retail version of the software before the 60 days expires, can I use the license key from the retail version to then fully activate the 60-day trial version? Or will I need to then uninstall the 60-day trial version and install the retail version of the software I've purchased, in order to utilize its retail license key? Thanks. Jim      |
