Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition
A month ago I bought a new laptop including Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student Edition. It came pre-installed and I only had to activate it. Outlook presented me with the question whether I wanted to try the professional version for a month. I agreed, unfortunately. Now the month is over and I want to use the Home and Student Edition, but I can't figure out how. Outlook is in the state that it can start but cannot be used for sending e-mail. The header says "product not licensed". I get a popup asking if I want to buy Professional Edition, but I don't want that: I want to start using what I paid for: Home and Student Edition.
I see two possibilities:
1) Delete Office and re-install it. Unfortunately I don't have the disks anymore. I received a card that praises "Mijn Dell Downloads", but the URL http://downloadstore.dell.com/media is unreachable for two days.
2) Maybe one of you knows some switch I can turn on to start using the Home and Student Edition.
If you have some tips for me, then I'd really like to hear from you.
Regards,
Rob

Outlook is not included in Home and Student edition so you will not be able to use it after uninstalling the trial version of Pro. Your Home and Student version should still be available. Check the All programs list to see if it's installed. Note that you must have purchase Home and Student for about $149 when you bought the computer. Check your invoice. All Dell computers had Office Starter edition installed--a limited free version of Word and Excel. Read THIS_ARTICLE for MS instructions on how to remove Office trial versions.

You should register Outlook if you want it separatelt because Outlook is not providing for home edition. And also Uninstalling office trial version is exactly like other programs only Select the trial version when you clicked on uninstall Office and the above link explains in totally but i just wanted to tell you that its not difficult :). Its something like other programs.

Thanks Mary and bestis for your answers! Much appreciated.
I thought Office always included Outlook, but that assumption was wrong. I'll go check out Windows Live Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird and remove the trial version.
