How to activate Microsoft Professional 2007?

I bought a brand new, still in the package, Microsoft Professional 2007, that I need for school. First, the CD had a small scratch on it, so it would not load that way. So I went to microsoft's website and downloaded the trial version (yes I did the correct one, not the "plus" version as someone else asked me). After I got the trial version activated, I then tried to get the actual version activated by putting in the product key, which came back as "invalid".

Is there another way to activate this or do I just need to yell at the store I bought it from?

    On the activate screen there is a box which is marked CONVERT this is the box to select and from there you put in the code from the disc and it will then ask you to validate on line then the next time you open any of the components it will validate and your be OK from there on and receive all the updates for those products.

    contact ms support on their web site they will give u an RMA

    use this to exchange you scratched disk for a new one

    keep the code because u will need it to activate

    for faster service ask if they will, overnight it

    since it is their fault.
