Installing Microsoft Office 2008 Help

What is so confusing? Enter a valid product key (usually located on the DVD or on the box), or continue using the version as a trial. This will eventually expire.

 

...

yes you need to enter the product key from the CD you used to install the software...

 

Why not just delete the trial version and install the new one.

 

If all the license keys have been registered from that set of CDs, then you're out of luck. You'll need to buy your own license, and discs. It might not be totally legal anyway, unless your computer is only used for work. When you get yours, read the license agreement rather than just clicking the button that says you read it.

 

If the trial is anything like the actual version, you should have a Microsoft Office 2008 folder in the applications folder and in that folder you'll see additional tools and in there is the Remove Office folder with the remove office program..

Hope this helps...
