Upgrading Office Home and Student 2007 to Office Standard 2007
KC NY 10/30/2008 5:50:00 PM
I originally activated Office Home and Student 2007 on my laptop. Subsequent
to acquiring that license I began to use my laptop for a business. I read
the upgrade requirements for Office Standard as allowing an upgrade from any
version of Office 2000-2007 to mean that I could upgrade my license for
commercial use for the extra $280 or whatever.

I purchased the license and installed the software on top of my existing
version. It accepted the new license key no problem, but it still says
"non-commercial use" at the top of all tools.

How does one get the tools to recognize that they are licensed for
commercial use--I don't want to come across as a license scofflaw in my
business presentations.

Uninstall both, reinstall Standard upgrade, when prompted for qualifying
version, insert HSE disk and point to that.

Do I need the disk? It was preinstalled on my laptop and when I upgraded I
did it online. I have both product keys, though.

I suppose the OEM may have included a CD, I guess I'll try to find it.

Any way to do with one of the versions that I have in my purchase history
(i.e. the version I originally activated) that I can still download?

You're going to need something but I'm not sure what in your case. (I don't
use OEM software.) Maybe someone else can give you that answer.
