Where can I download the TRIAL version of either Office 2003 Pro OR enterprise or Outlook 2003 pro or ent. (NOT 07/08+) direct from MS ?

Important Note: If there is a working way I could extract Outlook 2003 Pro w/Business contact manager from my Vista Ultimate Enterprise system, I might be interested in that as well.

Where can I get either the trial version of Outlook 2003 Pro or Enterprise with Business contact manager OR if absolutely necessary Office 2003 Pro or Enterprise DIRECTLY from microsoft or extremely reputable source.

I don't want Office 2007 Pro for many reasons mainly some addins we use in the office will simply not work properly with it.

I have also called and asked microsoft to send me a CD and they said the best they could do is send me a Outlook 2003 Standard CD.

Note: I have Office Standard 2003 as well as Office 07 what I want is only office 03 pro or ent. Or at the very least outlook 03 pro or ultimate.

NO warez or pirating software sites please!

Thank you
Kind Regards,
XDS

Hi Xds.
The Microsoft Office 2003 Trial versions are no longer available to download, they havent been for a long time.

IF it is neccasary for you, to get the software right away, i would recommend Open Office. This is a freeware wich got the same features.
http://www.openoffice.org/

Sorry about the bad news. Hopes this will help in any possible way.

Jonasmi, Did you even read my question, the main reason for not using anything other than 03 was because of the addons.

Please people read the questions in FULL.

I fully read your question, and i fully understood it.
-If those addons, works with Office 2003 pro, it should be possible to make them work with OpenOffice, or atleast give it a try. YOU cannot download the Trial version anymore, unless you go to the "Warez" and "Piracy" sites. Im sorry but thats a fact. Might your lucky someone want to upload it for you.

I could give it a try, however It's highly unlikely ALL the addons would work.
They also require outlook specific calls (functions).

Lets not be unreasonable now.

Outlook 2003 Pro IS available for download but only for MSDN (not MSDNAA) subscribers or if you have a exchange account.

Office 2003 Pro and Enterprise edition is also available for download for some students and staff of accredited universities.

The standard edition of both outlook 03 and office 03 is also freely available for download.

I find it very hard to believe that the pro versions of both are not available.

I do not say they are not available for Download, the trial version is not. As far as i remember, it was taken back in 2006-2007.
I know it is possible, to get a CD from microsoft with the ware on. You must have caught the wrong guy in the phone.

You will also be able to buy the full software from Amazon, ebay or other places. But aftersome you askd for a trial, that is the answer i gave you.

I appreciate the answer and perhaps i should have been a tad less rude in my comments I didn't realize this was your first answer.

Welcome to mahalo, please try and be more precise in the future.

When a "exact science" question is asked a exact science answer needs to be given. Not equivocation, subjugation, or personal opinion.

Well,

I must be missing something in your question.
This is no problem at all.

You can buy Office 2003 easily for very little money.
Not the trial but the real deal in original shrink wrap.

Check Ebay.

http://computers.shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1311&_nkw=microsoft+office+2003&_sacat=58058

I buy obsolete versions there frequently.

Just a quick note : Software purchased from ebay and amazon is not supported by microsoft.

Only authorized resellers are supported.

But thats besides the point.
That has nothing to do with being able to _DOWNLOAD_ the product.

You can get the free trial and full versions of Microsoft office 2003 from brothersof.com. the link is here http://www.brothersoft.com/microsoft-office-2003-169273.html

Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2 contains significant security enhancements, in addition to stability and performance improvements. Some of the fixes included with SP2 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.

SP2 contains a new Phishing Protection feature to be used with the Outlook Junk Email Filter. Phishing is the luring of sensitive information through e-mail, such as passwords and other personal information, by an Attacker masquerading as someone trustworthy. Phishing attacks can result in a user divulging sensitive information, including financial information, that can result in a loss of privacy or money. Phishing e-mail is hard to identify, because attackers make their e-mail appear genuine and often mimic recognizable e-mail sent out routinely by legitimate organizations such as banks and credit card companies.

This update applies to the following programs:
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Access 2003
Microsoft Office Access 2003 Runtime
Microsoft Office Excel 2003
Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
Microsoft Office Publisher 2003
Microsoft Office Word 2003
Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
Microsoft Office XP Web Components you can free download Microsoft

Just looked at this again, this is only the service pack for all the products you listed not the actual product itself.
