The version of Office installed on your Vaio is Microsoft Office Starter 2010 and is a basic version of Office 2010 without Powerpoint and without the advanced features of Word and Excel.

It is already activated and cannot be registered as it is not a full product.  It is being loaded onto new PCs to replace Microsoft Works but I guess it will annoyingly try to get you to activate the full version of Office 2010 at every opportunity.

To activate the fully featured version needs you to buy a product card with the activation code included.

To use most features of Office you need do nothing as it is already activated.  If you want the full version you must buy an upgrade.

The Product Code on the bottom of the Vaio is for the Sony Operating System only.

You need to purchase the Upgrade from Microsoft and they will then give you the Product Key.

In Word Starter or Excel Starter, on the Home tab, click Purchase,

and then click 'Buy Microsoft Office'.  Follow instructions on the Web page for purchasing an Office product.
