How do I get a product code for a trial download of office?

[retiredlady]

I also want to know if buying MS software from Amazon is legal.

Of course it's legal. Why would you think it's not?

Yes it is. I assume you're buying the retail version so you'll have the CDs
and the product key will be on the cases. Amazon is a great place to buy
Office - they are usually several dollars cheaper than buying it from
Microsoft. I like that part.

Hi there,

To answer the first part of your question, you get the 25-character trial key during the download process (on the "Download" and "Thank You" pages). It is also sent to you in your confirmation e-mail. You can get the download for Microsoft Office Beta 2010 here: Microsoft Office Online. It is a free trial that expires in October.

You can now pre-order Office 2010, which will be available in June. To get more information about pre-ordering, check out: Compare Office 2010 Suites ? Preorder from Microsoft Store.

I hope this helps!

Unless it's pre-installed in which case your reply is useless.

The Beta 2010 is NOT a "trial version" as in the OP's post.

I hope you aren't REALLY part of the "outreach team" - you posted NOTHING
that helps the OP.
