In order to start your trial period, you must activate the trial software.

Also,
note that an internet connection is required to activate your trial.
The Trial period begins after you activate. You can launch the application for a
total of 25 times before having to enter the Product Key and Activating the pro
duct. During the activation process you'll be notified when the trial will expi
re.
How to Activate the Trial
The process to activate your trial software begins automatically when you open a
ny Microsoft Office System product for the first time. I will direct you to a st
ep-wise procedure now.
Trial Product Key
Enter the 25 character Trial Product Key in the Setup dialog box.
Then click Continue. Next, the Microsoft Software License Terms will appear.
Microsoft Software License Terms (MSLT)
You must accept the terms of the Microsoft Software License Terms (MSLT) to use
the trial. To accept it, select "I accept the terms in the License Agreement." T
hen, click Continue, and the Activation Wizard will open.
Activation Wizard
In the Activation Wizard, Select I want to activate the software over the Intern
et and click Next.
The wizard will lead you through the activation process. When this process is co
mplete, you will receive a notice that activation has been successful. The notic
e will indicate the date when the trial will expire.
Ways to Convert the Trial into Full Version
You can convert from the trial software to a full-version either before or after
your trial period ends.
Before the trial period ends
You will start receiving expiration reminder messages indicating the date when t
he trial will expire. At this point, you can convert to the full product in two
ways:
1. In any of the expiration reminder messages, click Convert, and then follow th
e steps in the conversion process, below.
2. At any time during the trial period (or even after the trial has expired), yo
u can open any of the Microsoft Office System products, and in the Help menu: cl
ick Activate your software.
After the trial period expires
The software goes into reduced functionality mode. Some of the limitations of re
duced functionality mode include the following:
- You can not create any new files.
- You can view existing files, but you can not modify them.
- You can print files, but you can not save them.
