After downloading and installing the evaluation image to a laptop I am thinking of buying, when I open up any of the office 2013 programs (word, excel, publisher, outlook) I am getting prompted to enter email address associated with a subscription to "activate" this install of office 2013.

I downloaded a second time to pay more attention to the register page; perhaps there was a link to get an evaluation key or something, but I don't see anything.

I thought this evaluation of office 2013 professional plus was good for 120 days but work and excel say if I don't activate it, it will stop working next Monday, 18 May 2015.

I did google search to see if there was anyone with my particular problem, but I didn't find anything.

I checked my email I used to register for this evaluation of office 2013 but didn't see an evaluation key.

Any ideas? Or will this eval version just keep on working for the 120 days without activation?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Did you download the Office suite from TechNet Evaluation Center?

If yes, you should get a product key before you started downloading Office, and it would not be sent to your email address.

It should be like this image below:

If you didn't notice this, you will have to go through the process again.
