Default Product Key

I have just bought a Sony Vaio with Windows Vista. Word was already installed
on this computer. I have opened it more than 25 times, but now i can not type
anymore it says it is locked. I figured out i need to register it with the
product key, but i cant seem to find it anywhere on my computer. Do i have to
buy this product? I thought it came with my new laptop.

thanks for any help, Ryan Fisher

Default Product Key

Unless you paid extra for Word/Office the pre-installed version on the
laptop will be a trial version. The trial has either expired or you have not
activated it. Probably the former.

For $50, Sony offers "Fresh Start", an install without all
the trial versions and ads.
