does HP 15g br-104tx include lifetime MS OFFICE 2016 ?

[AlzarriJoseph]

Hello, 

I purchased a HP 15g br104 tx laptop in 2018 and yet the MS office is not activated. I asked the retailer about this and he replied saying that my laptop had only 30 days of trial version, can anyone help me out with this.

thank you

The product specifications do not say whether your Office Software included any sort of licensing.

If the purchase included a license, it would have been included either with the device or as a companion to the email purchase confirmation (if the computer was purchased from the HP store).

In general, Office is offered as a Trial version only and the consumer must purchase the Office Product license.

Microsoft Office - Product and License Information 

Please Read

 Microsoft - Activate Office

Activate Office using the Activation wizard

Includes “Activate after reinstalling or moving Office”

Installation and License Key Options

Some of the ways to “get” Office Software:

1. Trial Software that comes with the computer. 

An "offer" to try the software, in other words.  The license is NOT included in Trial offers.

1. Purchase Microsoft Office when you purchase your computer

Look for your license key with your purchase paperwork.

1. Receive a “free one year subscription to Office 365 when you purchase the computer (rare). 

If you have trouble with this exact type of “installed” Office before it has expired,

Contact HP Support for recovery options.

1. Purchase Office separately from Microsoft or other merchant.
