[gui-talk] microsoft question

[Steve Jacobson]

George,

If you didn't pay extra for a license, you didn't get one.  It would have cost you extra and they would have given you 
something with a long product key on it in all likelihood, unless they entered the key for you.  In that case, there is 
usually a button in the dialog that pops up that says "Activate through the Internet" or something like that.  If you need 
to enter a product key and you are sure that you paid extra for one, check carefully through the box of stuff that came 
with your computer to see if you can find one.  However, they may have been telling you that they registered Windows 
for you which is different than Office and you would not have paid extra for that.  You may have a Windows or backup 
disk with a product key on it but it won't work for Office.  Many computers now come with a trial version of Office 
installed, but as I say, you would have to pay extra, like over a hundred dollars, to have it activated.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
