I've had my laptop for about a week and I just tried to activate the 60-day
trial it came with tonight. Every time I open it, I'm being told that the
trial has expired and to enter a product key. I've continued to enter
different product key I'm receiving form the activation assistant, yet every
time the same happens and I can't use it. Can somebody please help?

As I said, I got the laptop less than a week ago and I was asked ora product
key as soon as I opened the program.

Then you would need to contact the supplier.
Perhaps this Laptop was not a sealed box?

Sorry, you did say that, and I completely missed it. I'd call the computer
manufacturer, then. There might be a special activation key you need to use
for the preinstalled trials.
