Get rid of Microsoft Office trial software

I purchased a G4 Power Book and it came with a trial period Microsoft Office program. I already own Office and do not need the trial software. But it opens everytime, gives me a message, and lets me know the trial period is over. It over rides my install of Office. How do I get rid of it?

Contact Microsoft support and ask for help. You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations. They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.

How to uninstall Microsoft Office trial on Satellite A200?

I have a Satellite A200. It came with Vista Premium but I have since upgraded to Ultimate. It came with a 60 day trial for Office 2007 which I am not interested in. I installed Office XP (which works). However documents from emails etc will start opening in Word 2007. Setup for this causes an error, although it still seems to work when you get rid of the error message.
What I really want to do is uninstall the trial. However it won't let me - it goes through "Preparing to uninstall" and then that just disappears and nothing has happened and the program is still there. In the Microsoft Office folder the 2 versions seem to have become intermingled. I have uninstalled Office XP and tried to uninstall 2007 after that, but still no joy.
Don't know if it's got anything to do with fact that setup has not completed properly.
Any ideas anyone on how to get rid of it?

Usually you should be able to remove all applications in the Windows Vista -> Software settings.
What you could do is to remove the whole Office 2007 folder. Usually the Office lives the files here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
Then you could use an 3rd party freeware application called CCleaner to clean the registry!

Getting Rid of Un-Used Factory Software

Hi,
First off thank you so much to everyone who took the time to answer my questions regarding running Oblivion with boot camp on my MBP. Here is my finaly questions for the night.
Q. Are there any common programs that come pre-installed on a MBP that a normal / basic user deletes to gain more space on the hardrive?
Q. To Uninstall an application do you just drag and drop the program to the trsh from the application folder?
Thanks again!
John

Incidentally, iWork '06 (two programs) is 1.85GB; Microsoft Office 2004 (four programs + extras) is 500MB.
iWeb is 630MB, and GarageBand/iDVD are about 1.5GB each.
Anything you don't need, you could always chuck onto a DVD or external hard disk just in case. Biggest app I have installed is World of Warcraft (5.2GB). You can also get rid of things like old iPod software updates (50-100MB each) - once they're installed, you won't need them again. I recommend using OmniDiskSweeper to poke around your HD to see what there is - if in doubt, I'm sure someone on these forums can tell you whether or not something is safe to delete. Blank DVDs are cheap, and if you back stuff up onto them before deleting you should be OK.

How do I get rid of "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open pdf in the Reader

Hi
How do I get rid of the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open a pdf in Adobe Reader?
I had a trial of Dreamweaver but it was too complicated for me.
There was no where to cancell the free trail so I let it run its course and expire. It then deleted the programs which is fine (I didn't want to buy them) but it also deleted my Acrobat Reader.
I have re-installed that but when I try to open a pdf, all I get is the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" screen which only allows you to buy or exit and them exits all together.
Needless to say I am very UNIPRESEED with Adobe for messing up my programs and now they want to charge me $29 dollars to sort out a problem they created.
Can anyone help me to sort out this very anoying problem?
Regards
David

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
No I have not deleted anything, this all happened automatically when the trial period ended.
Other than an old version of Photoshop (version 7, for which I do have a serial number, I don't have any other Adobe software - just the reader which is now not working)
I was trialling Dreamwever but couldn't get started with it so am paying someone else to set up the website using Wordpress.

Can't get rid of Flash CS3 Trial !

I did a search first, no real solutions in prior posts that I
could see. Searched the rest of Adobe too.. no solutions found that
apply.
In January I downloaded and installed the Flash CS3 Trial.
I'm not going to buy it, so now that the trial has expired, I want
it OFF my machine. I ran it thru the usual Add/Remove Programs.
Well, my machine rebooted (I was doing something else at the time
and never did see any prompts to reboot from the installer
program), but when it came back up the Flash CS3 trial
was still there ! So, I tried the add/remove again - only
this time the only thing it would uninstall are the Flash Player
and the Flash Player 9 ActiveX component ! NO choice to get rid of
the actual program.
What do I have to do to get this program OFF my hard drive ?
There's no other uninstall program, the add/remove programs is
useless, and the only thing even close for getting rid of it was
some CS3clean script - which was apparently meant for deleting the
early BETA versions.
How can Adobe NOT supply an uninstall mechanism other than
add/remove programs - most other software I've ever used does
!!

Thanks, wasn't sure about that. It's not a problem, Flash CS3
is the ONLY CS3 product on my machine. I have Studio 8 currently
installed, and CS2 Suite too, so hopefully that won't be trashed.

How to i get rid of my 30day trial numbers after purchasing same from apple store

i found the 30 day trial for numbers useful purchased numbers from app store
i now have two sets of numbers could anyone please advise how i get rid of the 30 day trial
without taking out my purchased numbers many thanks for your time

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Where can I get a free microsoft office for MAC?

Hi,
I had microsoft office installed on my macbook pro but my hdd died and I cannot find the disk for it and the key. Wondering of it is possible get microsoft office for free.

No, not possible. It is a commercial program and you have to buy it.
You may be able to recover your key - see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/how-do-i-recover-or-replace-a-lost-mic rosoft-office-product-key-HA104172018.aspx but I don't know about getting replacement media from MS (you can always ask them).
You could check out the free options - OpenOffice or LibreOffice for OS X and see if they'd work for you instead though.

How to GET RID OF ACTIVE X TRIAL???

Adobe Active X did not work very well to edit a PDF file so I did not want to purchase it; HOWEVER now I am unable to uninstall it and also unable to use Adobe Acrobat to view PDFs. I am a business person and there are pdf's I must view ASAP, somebody please help me get rid of this trial and get back the program that was working for me.

Thank you sooooooo much. It worked immediately. I couldn't be happier! You can't know about all the troubles I am having, (started new biz Aug. 16, became temporarily disabled--unable to walk--Sept. 1, have 7 month old baby, have 4 teens in home...ugh) and this was just a small thing but it ate up my whole morning. I called a hotline that was supposed to be representing Adobe and they tried to get me to spend $150.00 to have work done on my computer. I'm just trying to say that I really appreciate the simple fix. I needed it badly. It makes my life easier. I hope you are very blessed and have a great day. Thanks again.

Can't get rid of grid after trial finished

I downloaded CS5 trial and, when it ran out, I got grids over all my pictures. I just bought and installed CS5 and put the download in the trashcan, but the grids are still there. How do I get rid of them?

Photoshop doesn't work that way.
When the trial ends, Photoshop just stops launching.
So, what "grid" are you referring to?

Can MacBook Pro's get viruses from Microsoft Office?

I know Macs cannot get viruses in general but if Microsoft Office for Mac is bought can viruses be attained through it?

According to Microsoft, it is possible for Macs running the current version of Word to be affected by so-called macro viruses:
What to do if your Word for Mac has a macro virus
This is why, when I open Word documents with macros, Mac Word asks me if I want to run the macros. That warning is due to the Word macro virus risk.
Macs can be damaged by Windows viruses under certain conditions. For example, if you run Windows in a virtual machine, and you have enabled a folder sharing feature so that a Mac folder can be modified by both Mac and Windows, it is possible for a Windows virus that erases files to then erase files on the shared Mac folder. And of course if you give too wide access to Windows (like Mac library and system files) then it is theoretically possible for a virus in a Windows virtual machine to destabilize a Mac system.
I haven't used Boot Camp but I imagine that if you share a volume between OS X and Boot Camp a similar risk may exist.

Microsoft Office Counterfeit Software

I have question regarding Counterfeit Software.
Is it legal for any seller to sell Microsoft Software Product Keys to a Home User/End User, when those Product Keys are for MSDN?
How is possible to verify those Keys trough Microsoft Activation Center by speaking to a person, that Key is valid, Genuine?
After 5 months Key was blocked by Microsoft.
I have contacted Microsoft and I have submitted Counterfeit Software Report, year 2012, nothing is done about that.
Seller is still running and continues selling Microsoft Software.
This is website that does that.
http://www.bestwholesalesoftware.com/
WARNING DO NOT BUY SOFTWARE FROM THAT LINK!!!!
Any help on how this can be submitted, idk maybe to Microsoft Legal Team?
Thank you

Thank you very much for your answer.
I'm home user and have purchased Office Professional 2010 Plus trough that site.
I have called Microsoft Activation Center to verify Product Key and I was told that key is Genuine
and MCA person did help me activate software but later the key was blocked.
