Different versions of Office? MikeB <MPBrede[ at ]gmail.com> 12/27/2008 6:02:25 PM Just got a new laptop and I have a few questions about Microsoft Office. I have a full (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007) set of CDs (including separate CDs for Project Professional, Sharepoint Designer 2007, Visio Professional 2007, Office Groove 2007, OneNote 2007). I bought this a year or so ago when I was at university, the uni had a special deal with MS. Most of it I never installed on my previous laptop as I had Office 2002 installed on that laptop and I thought it was a tad underpowered for the newer software. On my new laptop, there is a pre-installed trial version of MS Office 2007 with Access, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and Publisher. Can I use my product key with the pre-installed software? Can I install the additional bits I have without conflicts? I'm loathe to just delete the pre-installed stuff, as it already loaded and installed updates and I'd rather not go through that again if I can avoid it. I believe that I'm entitled to install Office 2007 on up to three computers? Am I correct? Thanks.

Read JoAnn's response about the trial version and I haven't heard of an Office Pro Plus version allowing more than two installs (the primary install and one for a portable device for the "exclusive" use of the primary user of the primary install. You will need to read your EULA to be sure however.
