I have had a similar experience previously and if I remember, it was resolved using the hotfix - KB971620 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971620

It happens due to an installation of SP2 for MOSS servers. This incorrectly triggers the expiry date for some office products installed (Check the "Applies To" section of the article) and displays the message - "Trial Version Has Expired"

Follow the instructions after installing the hotfix and it should work. Good Luck.
