Office Starter can be distinguished from a mile away. Reason? Its ad supported. Open any Office app say Word- you'll see an ad at the bottom right portion of the screen. Office starter also creates a tell tale Q drive on the hard disk which is a virtual drive used by its click to run tech. You'll also see several virtualization services in the services console.
If you dont have this, you likely have a trial version of Office 2010. In Office 2010, you can check the activation status by clicking Help on the File menu. On the right side of the dialog box, under the Microsoft Office logo, you will see a message that says, "Product activated" or "Product requires activation."
