Help with activating Office

Options
Hi, I bought a Samsung N140 netbook and there is a one year Microsoft Office trial on it preinstalled.Can anyone tell me where I can find the activation key to install it please?
Every time I open it, it asks me for my activation key but I can't find it anywhere.If I click on the trial icon it takes me to a page where I can buy it which is no use.
Thanks:beer:

    Microsoft don't do one year trials. It was a 60 day one and it has expired. You can't find the key because there isn't one. You need to buy one.

    The sammys do a 1 year pre paid trial on them, both of ours have it on and they both expire on 31/01/11 (bought them in Nov/Dec last year). But it looks that Microsoft may have withdrawn from it now.
    I can't remember what I did .I tried if you go to All programs/Microsoft Office/1 yr Prepaid it just gives you a link to try it for 60 days . Try the button in word top left corner / word options / resources / activation (mine already is I can't suggest anything else)

  • Best I can do. Try this or new install of beta trial Office 2010, but still expires in October.
