The title bar displays "non-commercial use" when you start an Office Home and Student 2007, 2010 or 2013 program

Article ID: 937676 - View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you start a Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 program, the title bar of the program displays the name of the program followed by "non-commercial use." For example, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 displays "Microsoft Excel non-commercial use" or "Book1 - Microsoft Excel non-commercial use."

Cause

The "non-commercial use" text is based on the Microsoft Software License Terms for Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 products.

In the Microsoft Software License Terms, the "non-commercial use" text identifies the use of the product. You may install one licensed copy of the software on three devices in your household. The software is not licensed for any commercial business activities, nonprofit business activities, or revenue-generating business activities.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.

I get this error message when I installed Office 2007 Pro from my MSDN subscription on an HP laptop where Office Home was pre-installed. Even though the Pro version is now installed I still see this message in the titlebar.

I installed Office Pro as well and still get this message, too.
