You can’t remove it. You have to get an installation disk that doesn’t have it on it (aka Enterprise or Corporate versions). Also, realize that you can’t mix OEM keys with Retail disks and vice-versa. Trying to subvert the licensing system is a violation of the terms of use and is illegal. After reading your additional info, I’m assuming you’re trying to use the provided key (an OEM license) on a retail copy (the one you “purchased”). They are not compatible and use different licensing systems. If you truly purchased a retail copy, then you have to use the retail license. You don’t BUY the software. You buy a license to use the software. This is in the fine print of the license agreement. If you didn’t buy the license, then you can’t use it. If the license provided isn’t working, then you’re using the wrong software. You need to get an OEM copy of the software to use the license.
