i recently purchased an e-systems laptop with pre-installed office 2007. i am
being prompted to enter a 25 digit key but i dont know where to find it. i
have checked that this is not a trial version
Just for the sake of argument, let's assume you recently purchased a new computer.
Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft
Office program, it is likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a
license (product key) for Microsoft Office.
The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system)
and not for Microsoft Office.

i have just checked again and as suggested but it does not read trial version
at the end instead there is MSO( some digits) Do you still think it's a trial
version?

I can guarantee that if you paid less than $800, you didn't pay for a full
version. If you have the box, it would probably say. Or the receipt - or
call e-machine. they can tell you by your serial number.
