Hi there
sometimes Office is pre-installed with an OEM license -- so it is always worth checking first.
MS doesn't give away stuff I agree but remember since Windows is usually pre-installed (legally) then there is no reason why Office shouldn't be either. The License will already have been paid for - calculated in the price of the PC.
However in general BOTH these products will require activation on First use -- so if you can't see TRIAL anywhere on your version then just see if you are prompted for activatin.
You won't be prompted for a key if its a pre-installed OEM version -- the activation server will just check the OEM DB and activate if OK.
Non commercial use simply means this has been pre-installed on a Home / Private PC and isn't a normal retail license version that you will see in commercial environments such as corporate LAN's etc.
AFAIK there isn't a restriction on you for example taking home from work and creating documents on your PC with this version of office.
