MS Office Professional 2007 - Upgrade from Trial to full version

I have just purchased the authentic full version of MS Office professional
and have tried to convert from the trial version on my computer to the full
version. However, when I enter the product key, a message pops up telling me
that it is invalid. Why is this and what can I do to resolve it other than
uninstalling and reinstalling the software? This is not an option for me at
the moment as I am using a tablet laptop and do not have my external CD drive
with me.

Remove the trial version using the Add/Remove settings in Control Panel,
reboot the computer and install the Pro version. This should solve your
issue. Let us know the results.
