Microsoft trial version convert to full

I just got through using my free trial for Microsoft office I have
purchased the Microsoft Office Standard 2007. I installed it. But when I
open Word or Excell it says my Trial is almost over and if I want to
convert. So I try to convert and it says my product key is invalid...
The top of the box that I purchased has the words "upgrade". Did I just
waste $250 bucks? Anyone please help...

Yes and no. You can't use a trial version as the qualifying software for an
upgrade.
However all is not lost - all you need to do is to purchase a dead cheap
copy of something that is a qualifying software on EBay.

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

And you have to uninstall any trial, and reboot prior to installing any paid
for version
