Microsoft Outlook 2007 ‘non-commercial use’ software
After installing a copy of Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 on their machine, a customer found that their version turned out to be something different.
It seems that the machine was originally bought as an Office Ready PC (you can read about the programme here.) had been installed with a FPP (Fully Packaged Product) of Office rather than the MLK. The error occurs because the trail software was not removed before a full copy of Office was installed over the top.
No need to panic though if you see this, here’s how to fix it:
- Completely uninstall any copies of Office ( use this KB to ensure everything is removed) on said machine.
- Reinstall the FPP copy and that should have you back up and kicking.

Please remember that ‘non-commercial’ by Microsoft’s definition means ‘the software is not licensed for use in any commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating business activities’.
