Can't purchase a product key for an Office 2007 trial product

I Just purchased a new laptop with Vista that came with a trial for office
2007.

1.I was able to activate it but when I want to buy a product key online
(options-resources-activate-convert-buy product key online) it takes me to a
blank page.
Any idea?

2.I know there are different Office suites available, should I purchase a
product key that matches the suite I have? If this is the case, then how do I
find out what I have.
The trial doesn't say if it's Pro or Student or whatever.

Thanks for your help.

After checking a little better, it seems that I have Office 2007 pro, can I
purchase a Home and Student product key?

Your best and most cost effective solution is to purchase the required
version direct from eg amazon.com
Then uninstall any trial & reboot before installing from cd

If you need that version - do it NOW. Microsoft has lowered the price on
that version this weekend (thru Monday). You could buy it from Amazon.com
for $70! That's have the cost. Plus you'll get free shipping.
