Trying to upgrade to Office Standard 2007 from works

Some computers come with a trial of office preloaded. When the trial is up the program will ask for a product key. The only legal option is to purchase the software.

You need to purchase a copy of Office 2007 (there are various levels you can buy depending on what programs you need)

From there, you can usually just pop in the disk and it will offer to Upgrade your Office 2003 to 2007.

Unfortunately, you need to purchase a new product key. Upgrades are not automatic with Microsoft Office. You can buy the software online or in any office products store (Staples, Office Depot, etc...).

Is the disk-drive from the old computer attached as a "slave" disk-drive on the new computer?
If so, then the "upgrade" utility should find the "qualifying" files, and allow the "upgrade" to proceed.

Is Office 95 listed as a "qualifying" product for the Office 2007 upgrade?
If so, then insert the CD-ROM for Office 95 when running the Office 2007 installer.
Or, insert the CD-ROM for the Office 2000/XP/2003 upgrade when requested.

all you need to do is to purchased product key for MS Office 2007 at microsoft website. you dont need to buy installer of MS Office since it is alraedy installed in your system

With all instances of new software you must purchase a full version. I wish that you could get a dicount by turing in your old sofwares product key but that isnt the case. You must purchase full retail versions in order for everything to work as it should.

The upgrade version is only to upgrade a previous version of MS office. The trial version does not qualify as previous version to be upgraded. You need to purchase the full product rather than the upgrade.

If you know somebody who has MS office 2003 with a valid product key, you could install that version, and then upgrade it with the product that you purchased

I bought an upgrade version and it doesn't work. What should I do?

try pointing it at the disk

hi, yes you can install office 2003 while you already have office 2007. you just need to change the installation directory when you launch the setup for office 2003. change it into something apart from what office 2007 already is installed in. so what you're trying to say is that you should be entitled to an upgrade to office 2007 if office 2003 doesn't work? i would maybe think so... but no solid answer for that one.
