Depending on the restore point chosen, and whether the user chose 'run' instead of 'save' when obtaining the Office 2013 install files, the system restore may have erased the downloaded files.
It may also be that the 'purchase' option allows one to input the product key at some stage during the process without having to fork out more money. Having not been though the process, though (I'm staying away from Office 2013, at least till the bugs are ironed out), I can't say whether that's actually the case. If it's not, that suggests the wrong procedure is being used or isn't being followed correctly (or maybe it has its own bugs ...).
