If you install 2007 Trial, can you upgrade later Alfred Kaufmann <al_kaufmann[ at ]hotmail.com> 4/26/2007 11:29:04 PM Right now I have Office XP and Frontpage 2003 installed and I am wondering what happens if I try the Office 2007 trial. If I decide to buy it, will I be forced to buy the full version or can I still do the upgrade thing? I do have all the original CDs. Al

Re: If you install 2007 Trial, can you upgrade later "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" <dian[ at ]mousetrax.com> 4/27/2007 2:25:09 AM Yes, you can purchase the upgrade, but if you want to keep using the older version, you need to purchase the full version. See this article for licensing details on two versions...assuming you may want to keep the old one running while you learn the new one???

Re: If you install 2007 Trial, can you upgrade later Alfred Kaufmann <al_kaufmann[ at ]hotmail.com> 4/27/2007 6:46:00 PM Thanks for the information but I don't want to run multiple versions of office at the same time. I tried installing this trial but 5 minutes after the install I uninstalled it and then just to be sure no little gems were left behind, I restored too. :-) The only reason I looked at this upgrade was because Outlook 2002 SP3 seems to have a few problems with Vista and the trial installed everything BUT Outlook 2007. I guess I should have been more clear: If I try this Office 2007 and decide not to go with it, will a PST file created with Outlook 2007 be able to be imported with Outlook 2002 SP3?

Re: If you install 2007 Trial, can you upgrade later "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" <dian[ at ]mousetrax.com> 4/28/2007 4:42:43 PM Okay, to be honest with you...I'm not sure. I would THINK so, but since I haven't tried it, I can't say for sure. Sorry for missing the point. I'd suggest you repost with the info below to clarify and also so people see your new post and don't miss this new Q. In fact, I'd actually suggest you try posting this specific Q to the Outlook group, where there's a better chance that those folks have tried this. Good luck and sorry I couldn't provide a solid answer for you! Dian D.
