Thanks for your reply. It was informative. Whom do I contact if I need the
original software of 2007 in India.If I do not want to invest any more money
now but want to use the office programme; are these laptops pre loaded with
2003 version?

Thanks & Best Regards,
Tim.

Tim,
Trial versions of the software come with use limits - that is why they are
trial versions. The cost of the software (full package) is not included with
the cost of the laptop.
The purpose of the trial software is to let you see how it works and
determine if you wish to spend more money on the full version.

Since you have not paid any money for the software, you are not having to
pay for it twice. You paid money for the laptop only.

If you thought you were paying for the full version of Office 2007, then you
should complain to the company you purchased the laptop from.

By the way, the HP laptops are good ones. I purchased an HP zv5000 almost 4
years ago and it still works very well (had to replace a CD/DVD drive under
warranty once) - that machine cost me US $2800.

I am from India and have recently bought a new HP dv 2041tu notebook with pre
installed MS Office 2007 programmes.It keeps asking for the product key and
having exceeded 25 times I am unable to work on these programmes.
I am to understand from the dealer these are trial programmes and have to
bought subsequently. Havig paid INR equivalent to US $1200/- for the laptop;
why should we again spend money on the software.--
Thanks & Best Regards,
