Word Non-Commercial Use

[Benjamin]

I have just now purchased a new Toshiba computer that came with Microsoft Works and a 60 day trial of Microsoft Office 2007 Student edition. It is supposed to be business computer and so I have also bought the retail MS Office 2007 Small Business Edition at the same time. I uninstalled the trial version without opening it and then installed the Office 2007 SBE. But now, Word, Powerpoint and Excel all show as Non-Commercial Use on the screen? This software has been activated properly and everything, but still it shows this notice? What am I suppose to do to get rid of this notification? Thanks.

What does it say in the Help/About in any of the Office Component, can you let us know?

It is telling me "Part of Office Small Business Edition 2007." I can resolve this problem by uninstalling Home and Student Edition Trial, but somehow, that product, which is never activated, was causing the non-commercial note to appear even after the activation being properly recognized as an SBE component.
