FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: Can I install 2007 Microsoft Office System on more than one device?
A: Yes, but only for Office Home and Student 2007. If you have purchased retail license of Office Home and Student 2007, it will permit installation and use of Office Home and Student 2007 up to three devices.

Q: What is a trial version?
A: A Trial version allows you to evaluate the 2007 Office release for a limited amount of time, typically 60 days. To use the Trial version, you must activate the software the first time you run it. Otherwise, the Trial version runs in Reduced Functionality mode. In Reduced Functionality mode, your software behaves similarly to a viewer. You cannot save modifications to documents or create any new documents, and additional functionality might be reduced. No existing files or documents are harmed in Reduced Functionality mode. Full functionality returns when you activate the software.

Q: What is activation and how do I get started?
A: To continue to use all of the features of your product, you must activate the product. Microsoft Product Activation is a Microsoft anti-piracy technology designed to verify that software products are legitimately licensed. Activation works by verifying that the Product Key, which you must supply to install the product, is not in use on more personal computers than are permitted by the software license.

Q: How do I activate my Microsoft Office programs?
A: The Activation Wizard automatically contacts the Microsoft licensing servers through your Internet connection. If you are using a valid Product Key that has not already been used for the allowed number of installations, your product is activated immediately. When you activate through the Internet, your product ID (derived from the installation Product Key) is sent to Microsoft through an encrypted transfer. A response (the confirmation ID) is sent back to your computer to activate your product. If you choose to activate your product through the Internet and you are not already connected, the wizard alerts you that there is no connection.

Q: How do I activate my Microsoft Office programs at a later time?
A: If you don't want to activate your copy of the software when you install it, you can activate it later.

Access, Excel, PowerPoint, or Word
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Program Name Options.

Q: How long can I use the trial?
A: Once activated, trial software will be fully functional for approximately 60 days. The trial period begins to run when you activate the software and the length of the trial period will vary depending on when the trial was activated. The trial software will only expire at the last day of the month within a user's trial period. During the activation process, you will be notified of the date on which the trial period will expire.

Q: What happens when the trial expires?
A: As you reach the end of the time allowed to evaluate a Trial version, you receive reminders each time that you start the product. The Activation Wizard reminds you that your Trial is coming to an end, and asks if you want to convert to the Full product. If you don't convert to the Full product by the end of the Trial version's time limit, the software runs in Reduced Functionality mode

Q: What does convert mean?
A: Convert means you have finished evaluating a Trial version and have decided to purchase the Full product. You are prompted to provide a Product Key that you already have or will purchase online.

Q: How do I convert my trial?
A: You can convert from the trial software to a full-version either before or after your trial period ends.

Before the trial period ends:
You will start receiving expiration reminder messages indicating the date when the trial will expire. At this point, you can convert to the full product in two ways:
  1. In any of the expiration reminder messages, click Convert, and then follow the steps in the conversion process, below.

    Microsoft Office System products, and in the Help menu: click "Activate your software".

The software goes into reduced functionality mode. Some of the limitations of reduced functionality mode include the following:
