Are you absolutely sure that you didn't get a product key somewhere in the paperwork that came with the computer?
If the Office package was truly a trial version, and the trial time has expired, you will have to pay to either get a key to unlock your version or get a fully-functional version.
If you have no key and are asking for one, mikenandike22 already answered that question- we don't allow any discussion of hacks, cracks, or warez here.

it sounds more like it is an oem copy that hasn't been activated. There should be a phone number to ring or a website to visit in order to activate it.
Office XP only opens 30 (ish) times before you are forced to activate.

It's rather obscene, in my view, for a vendor to include a trial version of Office. It's costs the same amount to convert it to a fully functional version, and it can be a messy job to convert. You have two options:
- Uninstall the trial version, buy a full retail version and install that.
- Uninstall the trial version, download OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org and use that instead!
- Uninstall the trial version, buy a full retail version and install that.
- Uninstall the trial version, download OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org and use that instead!

Agreed, but unfortunately vendors are indeed starting to do that. It's all about cost-cutting and "carrot dangling".
